4 Day Realign: Pilates & Wellness May Retreat in Northern Rivers, Australia
With Elaine Koeber
May 14 - 17, 2026
Before the year gathers its pace, we pause.
To exhale what lies behind, to inhale what awaits ahead —
and to come home to what aligns us.
> Resting within the lush rolling hills of the Northern NSW hinterland, this four-day retreat carries us to a place where everything around and within begins to slow.
> Each sunrise invites practices of Pilates and meditation. Through invigorating movement, purifying nourishment, cleansing rejuvenation and mindful learnings from breath work and ice bathing, we let our deep essence unfold as time slow down.
> Each sunset welcomes calming rituals of massage, stretching and sauna to close the day.
> At REALIGN, space opens for what truly matters to rise to the surface,
for sustainable habits to take root,
and for direction, clear and true to self, to emerge.
THE PEOPLE AND VISION BEHIND THIS RETREAT.
What began in 2023 as the very first citta collective retreat — the one that quietly set everything in motion — returns this January, evolved and more aligned than ever before. REALIGN has grown with us, shaped by the people who have become part of its story.
Curated and hosted by Elaine Koeber, whose roots in movement, wellbeing, and holistic health have guided the vision from the beginning. This retreat marks a full-circle moment. Tracing back to after the seed for citta collective was quietly planted. Elaine spent time on a retreat to manifest and plan the launch, when paths crossed with Tash and Tom of Burbury Wholefoods — private chefs whose vibrant, wholesome cuisine and impeccable care for food left a lasting mark.
It was through the first REALIGN retreat that Benny Berry became part of the journey — his incomparable breath work and ice bath experiences have become an integral, transformative layer of this unique weekend, our guests always say its one of the transformational highlights. Shared values and connection bring us now together for the third time.
And we have handpicked our massage therapist Framework by Miranda, coming across from Perth and joining us for this Pilates and wellness retreat in Australia for the first time for the most relaxing bodywork experience.
WHO IS THIS RETREAT FOR.
REALIGN is for those seeking to set the tone for the year ahead —
to begin in rhythm with self,
to replace resolutions with sustainable pace and habits,
to reawaken clarity beneath the clutter,
to release what no longer serves,
to make space for joy and connection,
and to return with a grounded sense of who they are becoming.
