The Isla Team

Your retreat is guided by the certified Isla team — the same instructors who teach our local community every day in our Bophut studio.

May, our founder, leads the brand and looks after every retreat guest personally from enquiry through to your closing morning.

Yui, Nek and Eye are our Reformer Pilates instructors. Each is internationally certified, bilingual in Thai and English, and brings their own focus to teaching — from foundational technique for first-timers to deeper progressions for experienced practitioners. Between them they teach hundreds of community classes each year, which is why a retreat with us feels considered rather than improvised.

Together, the team’s approach is the same in a private retreat session as it is in a Monday morning community class: precise cueing, attention to each body in the room, and a steady, unhurried pace.
