The Evolution of Be Yogalates

For years, Be Yogalates has been a sanctuary for mindful movement, physiotherapy-led Pilates, and the pursuit of your strongest self.

Founded by Lisa Wilson, the vision was always to bring together clinical expertise and soulful practice—creating a space where science and self could coexist in a meaningful way. What began in clinics, studios, and online programs grew into a connected community grounded in movement, mindset, and longevity.

As that community expanded, so too did the vision behind it. It became clear that wellbeing is not something confined to a class. It is a way of living—a lifelong project shaped by curiosity, intention, and deep self-care.

A Natural Evolution

From this understanding, a natural progression emerged.

The Self Project Retreats marks the next chapter. It is not simply a new name, but a refined and elevated expression of everything Be Yogalates has always stood for. It brings together Lisa’s work as a physiotherapist, Yogalates consultant, and life coach into one fully integrated experience—one that extends beyond the mat and into the world.

The Retreat of a Lifetime

These retreats are designed as immersive, high-touch experiences that offer more than rest or escape. They are carefully curated journeys created to support meaningful transformation.

Set in destinations such as Umbria in Italy, Port Douglas, Byron Bay, and the refined landscapes of Dubai and Abu Dhabi, each retreat is chosen with intention. Every detail is considered, from the environment and accommodation to the cultural and culinary experiences that define each place.

Working alongside trusted partners and local specialists, each location becomes more than a backdrop. It becomes part of the experience itself, offering a depth of authenticity that allows you to fully arrive, both physically and mentally.

A Focus on Longevity & Ageing Well

At the core of The Self Project is a strong and intentional focus on longevity and ageing well.

This is approached not as an abstract idea, but as a practical and empowering pathway. Through physiotherapist-guided movement, education, and personalised support, each retreat addresses the realities of maintaining strength, mobility, and confidence over time. Whether improving bone and muscle health, refining balance, or reducing joint discomfort, the intention is to provide tools that extend far beyond the retreat itself.

The Core Ethos of The Self Project

Everything within The Self Project is guided by a clear philosophy that shapes each experience.

There is a commitment to creating intentional space for self-care and gratitude, allowing both body and mind to reset and restore. Empowerment sits at the centre, with education and coaching designed to build confidence, clarity, and self-trust. The development of healthy habits is approached in a way that feels realistic and sustainable, supporting lasting integration into everyday life. Underpinning it all is a focus on authenticity, encouraging genuine self-expression and meaningful cultural connection rather than surface-level experiences.

The Experience

Each retreat unfolds as a complete mind-body-spirit immersion.

Days are shaped by physiotherapist-led movement practices that develop strength, mobility, and balance, complemented by breathwork and meditation that create space for clarity and reflection. As the experience deepens, there is a natural shift toward greater purpose, confidence, and alignment. Lifestyle practices are introduced in a way that feels intuitive and achievable, ensuring the benefits extend well beyond the retreat itself.

What’s Included

Every element of The Self Project Retreats is thoughtfully curated to create a seamless and elevated experience.

Daily wellbeing practices are delivered with care and expertise, blending Yogalates, breathwork, meditation, hydrotherapy, and complementary therapies such as sound healing, acupuncture, reiki, and physiotherapy. Beyond the physical, each retreat is enriched through authentic cultural immersion, with personalised local guidance, curated gallery visits, and dining experiences that reflect the essence of each destination.

Luxury accommodation and carefully coordinated logistics ensure that every detail is considered, allowing you to remain fully present and immersed throughout your stay.

More Than a Retreat

In essence, The Self Project Retreats offers a complete and deeply curated experience where movement, mindset, culture, and environment come together in harmony.

It is the most expansive expression of the Be Yogalates philosophy, elevated into something more immersive, more intentional, and more transformative. This is more than a retreat. It is a return to self—a space to reconnect with your body, refine your habits, and rediscover a sense of clarity and purpose.
