May 2025 – Join Sophia Ritchie, Founder of Disco Barre™, in collaboration with Chaya Yoga Retreats, for a transformative retreat in Ibiza, taking place from 7th to 13th June, 2025. This week-long journey is designed to help you rediscover your most beautiful truth and unlock your highest potential through powerful practices, nourishing feasts, healing therapies, deep relaxation, and a supportive community.

Set on the magical white isle of Ibiza, known for its stunning beauty and vibrant energy, this retreat offers the perfect backdrop for self-discovery and renewal. The retreat will be held in a luxurious villa found in the peaceful campo of San Rafel, providing an abundance of nature and space for reflection.

The experience
Immerse yourself in the unique world of Disco Barre™, the hardcore barre workout set to epic underground house and disco music. Led by Disco Barre Founder, Sophia Ritchie, retreat goers will be guided through a deep dive into this method, which bridges the gap between fitness and dancing and has roots in 'The Lotte Berk Technique.' This original barre method is as healing as it is an effective all-body workout.

During the retreat, Sophia will also launch her new workshop, "The Pelvic Tilt for Release and Sensuality", offering participants the opportunity to experience profound release and incredible treatments.

Participants will leave the retreat feeling the strongest they've ever felt from the inside out—reawakened, realigned, empowered, and deeply connected to their physical, spiritual, and erotic body.
