🌞 Your Retreat Leader

Meet Alex, founder of Black Cat Studio Pilates. If you’ve taken her classes in Nosara, you already know the deal: she’s equal parts precision and play, and she’ll push you in all the right ways without ever making things weird or woo-woo.

With a decade of teaching under her belt (Pilates, yoga, and functional movement) Alex is known for her smart, challenging, and community-centered approach. At the retreat, she’ll guide you through daily sessions that make you feel stronger and a whole lot more grounded… without taking over your entire day.

Basically: she’s here to make you feel good, laugh a little, and move in a way your future self will thank you for.

“Black Cat Studio is pure magic. The moment you walk in, you feel challenged and supported—every class is personalized, fun, and transformative. The instructors are world-class, the studio itself is stunning, and the community that forms here is incredibly special in Nosara.”

— Meaghan Smith
