There’s something magical about movement in nature—especially when that movement is guided by breath, intention, and the golden glow of a Greek sunset.
At Evexia Retreats in Kos, our sunset Pilates sessions are more than just exercise—they’re an invitation to reconnect with yourself, in one of the most beautiful and peaceful settings imaginable.

Why Sunset? It’s Nature’s Perfect Rhythm
As the sun begins its slow descent into the Aegean, the world softens. The breeze carries the scent of salt and thyme, the sky turns shades of gold and rose, and the energy of the day begins to ease. This is the hour when Kos truly glows—and it’s the perfect backdrop for mindful movement.
Practicing Pilates at this time creates a sense of natural rhythm between your body and the world around you. As you lengthen, strengthen, and align, you're doing so in harmony with the softening light and slowing pace of nature. It’s grounding, calming, and deeply restorative.
The Benefits of Sunset Pilates
Whether you're a Pilates regular or totally new to the practice, our sessions are open, inclusive, and focused on gentle, functional movement. Taught by skilled instructors who guide with clarity and care, each class helps you:
Improve core strength and posture - Feel more connected to your center, enhancing balance and stability.
Release physical tension - Sunset sessions are designed to unwind the body, especially after a day of exploring or relaxation.
Cultivate mindfulness - By moving in sync with the natural world, your attention is gently drawn inward—bringing you fully into the present moment.
Enhance sleep and recovery - Gentle evening movement helps the nervous system shift into rest mode, supporting better sleep and deeper healing.
A Setting That Inspires Stillness

Our sunset Pilates classes take place either on the beach or at scenic outdoor spots with a view of the sea. Picture yourself on your mat, the sound of waves in the background, your body moving with grace as the sun dips below the horizon.
There are no studio walls here—just open sky, fresh air, and a view that reminds you how beautiful slowing down can be.
📅 Classes Begin at the End of April
Our sunset Pilates sessions begin at the end of April and run throughout the retreat season. Whether you're joining us for a full retreat or simply attending a class, these sessions are a highlight for many of our guests.
Come exactly as you are. We’ll meet you at sunset.
