Thrive in Ibiza
Throughout this 4-night, 5-day blissful retreat experience, we’ll be using powerful mind and body practices to help you let go of what’s holding you back, feel ENOUGH just as you are and start thriving!
There’ll be daily yoga, meditation, group workshops, optional coastal hikes, a healing sound bath and optional massage throughout your time. You will leave more connected to the very best version of yourself, with clarity, lightness and motivation to go home integrate this growth into your daily life.
THE PRACTICES
Daily, nourishing yoga classes, AM before breakfast and PM before dinner, depending on the schedule that day.
The morning classes will tend to be more vinyasa flow based, linking breath with movement to both liberate and invigorate you for the day ahead. They may perhaps challenge you and your yoga practice.
The evening classes will tend to be more relaxing and meditative, following more of a slow flow, restorative style, to end the day right, and set you up for a deep sleep.
Everybody and every body is welcome on the mat, as both styles of yoga are suitable for all levels, including beginners. Modifications will be offered for all abilities.
There are mats at the villa, so you do not have to bring your own.
I have been teaching for 10 years now, am trained in Vinyasa, Yin & Pregnancy Yoga. My classes tend to be on the Slow Flow side of things, with a strong emphasis on breath.
The yoga classes will be infused with my work as a Hypnotherapist, I will guide you through therapeutic exercises and invite self-reflective questioning for you to bring about more self-awareness and self-discovery alongside a feeling of deep inner calm.
We’ll be working with the various concepts that I take my 1-1 therapy clients through and those in my ebook – Thrive.
We will also be joined by a gong bath guru, who will lead us through a powerful and healing sound bath.
There will be an optional group hike to attend, to enjoy the beautiful surrounding and crystal clear blue ocean of Ibiza.

Villa Monte is an idyllic place for you to disconnect from your day-to-day, unwind, and reconnect with yourself.

YOUR RETREAT PACKAGE
Included in your retreat package is: full accommodation, all meals throughout, group hikes, group therapeutic workshops, a cooking workshop and a gong bath.
The Gong Bath
Helping you cultivate a deep relaxation and synchronise your nervous system. This session is to restore and balance your state of mind and heart by receiving thevibrations that gongs have for your mental, physical and spiritual fields.
Massage
Not included in the price but gently encouraged to support your retreat experience, we have a very talented masseuse called Buzz, who will be available to book throughout your time. Buzz Lambert is our gentle giant. Trained in multiple techniques from around the globe, and practicing since 2001, he creates a session tailored to exactly what you need in the moment.
A very relaxing, deep, and therapeutic session intuitively combining western and eastern modalities to sooth and nourish you.
You’ll leave the session deeply relaxed and feel refreshed for the rest of the day.
TRAVELLING TO IBIZA
You will need to book your own flights to Ibiza. They are currently just over £100 from London direct. If you want to fly indirectly, they are even cheaper. These will obviously go up as time goes on, so I strongly recommend you book them as soon as possible.
I will help you arrange a taxi from the airport to the villa.
HOW TO PAY
All of the prices you see above are the early bird offerings. This will last for a limited time only.
If you want to discuss payment plans please email me, I will ask for a £250 deposit, but thereafter I’m happy to be flexible to make it affordable and manageable for YOU!
Please email me on info@gracefulmindandbody.co.uk for questions, to discuss payment plans and to book on. Here, I will share my bank details with you so you to make payment.
CANCELLATION POLICY
With an understanding that sometimes life brings us unexpected circumstances, if you need to cancel for a reason outside of your control, I will need 6 weeks advance notice, to give me enough time to sell the place to another yogi. Your deposit upon booking is non refundable, the rest will be refunded.
WHAT’S THRIVE ALL ABOUT?
Every single one of us has a potential. And none of us have reached or achieved our potential, yet. If we had that would be a bit boring right? Our potential is ever expanding, there’s always room for growth and improvement. We all have a more evolved version of ourselves within us. And that’s what thriving is all about.
It’s NOT about feeling amazing, always positive and achieving your life goals every single day. That’s not realistic or possible – life is tough and we all face challenges and have bad days. Thriving is about knowing, from a deep place that you are enough, as you are, and from this place stepping into the shoes of the very best version of you. Thriving isn’t the outcome, it’s the journey.
We will delve deeper into how you can go about this on retreat in Ibiza, so you will leave a different person – with so much more knowledge, wisdom and self awareness.
The topics we will cover on this experience have been carefully created from my 1-1 signature therapy programme and my ebook – Thrive. If you are even just a little bit curious, I would highly recommend buying the ebook and reading through its content.
TESTIMONIALS
‘”Grace is without a doubt one of my favourite yoga teachers in London and she put so much care and thought into the thrive workshop and cultivated the perfect space to look inwards and explore in a safe, nurturing environment.'”
Sienna, Thrive workshop 2023.
“Completing 6 weeks of Grace’s Thrive programme was one of the best investments I’ve made in myself. Grace created a safe space for self-exploration and made me feel truly seen and heard. I was able to get to the root cause of deep-seated issues that weighed on me for years. Her compassionate and incisive approach helped me process and release lifelong patterns. Grace devoted the necessary time to ensure I healed in a meaningful way. Thanks to Grace’s help I emerged lighter, freer and more confident, I gained tools to manage my inner critic, and now believe I am enough, just as I am. I cannot overstate the value of my sessions with Grace. Her warmth, wisdom and commitment to helping me become the best version of myself has been invaluable. I will forever be grateful for this transformative experience.”
Elena, Thrive 1-1 programme, 2023.
“I had the best experience at Thrive in Ibiza. I didn’t really know what I was going to be doing as it was a completely new experience for me. But the only way to express how valuable and extraordinary it was, is to say that I now have a tattoo to represent my time. I was surrounded by amazing supportive women that I instantly felt like home around. Grace is such a special person and I feel so lucky to have been a part of something so magical.”
Clare, Thrive in Ibiza, November 2024.
“I went on Grace’s ‘Thrive’ retreat in Ibiza in November. It was, quite simply, sensational. I can really struggle with the mindfulness, contemplative aspects of yoga, so am always looking to combine some small developments on that front with more substantial physical developments. After having two children in the past four years, I had reached a relatively useless state with my spinal flexibility and hip openness. After four days of Grace’s yoga instruction, I really felt I went home with a different spine and set of limbs. It was a perfect mixture of slow and yet intense and challenging.”
Claire, Thrive in Ibiza, November 2024.
“My time on this retreat was without doubt one of the most perfect weeks away – it had everything I love and more. The yoga and the thoughtful style of teaching, the location, the food and accommodation were just wonderful. It was great to be given the time out in order to assimilate all that we were being taught and asked to reflect upon. There was a real arc to the week which was so well thought out by Grace. I really felt like I was being led on a journey of self examination but never too heavy – always with gentleness and care.
I absolutely loved the personalisation involved in the trip. Grace is such an excellent communicator – from the initial booking information, payment, logistics to the pre retreat yoga session and WhatsApp group – always the right level of detail given with love and lightness. And all the way through to the week of the retreat. Nothing too much trouble and always with a smile. Arriving in our room to find a personal note in our journal was so ‘Grace’ and really touching. And of course our beautiful gift too.
I have already booked my next retreat with Grace – quickly decided on the previous! If that’s not recommendation enough I don’t know what is.”
Vanessa, Thrive in Ibiza, November 2024.
