“My retreat experience was nothing short of amazing.”
The way fEMBODY created a safe environment to be able to connect deeply and openly with myself as well as the other attendees has fostered a new level of healing and growth within me. The bonds that were built as well as the way I was able to grow immensely not only as a pole dancer but also as a person was so remarkable. There was a perfect balance between workshops, activities, and community building which allowed me to gain the most from this trip. From activities that gave me the opportunity to immerse myself in Mexican culture and experience all that this beautiful country has to offer, to workshops that allowed me to achieve my goals as a pole dancer, to all the moments that allowed me to connect so deeply with myself and like-minded individuals – fEMBODY really did an exceptional job perfectly integrating all aspects. This was quite literally the trip of a lifetime and I cannot wait for the next!

“This was truly the most transformative trip I have ever been on!”
From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed into a serene and beautifully designed space that immediately set the tone for relaxation and transformation. The accommodations were luxurious yet inviting, providing the perfect balance of comfort and tranquility.
One of the highlights was the private chef experience—every meal was thoughtfully curated, nourishing both the body and soul. The dishes were not only delicious but also aligned with the retreat’s focus on wellness, using fresh, locally sourced ingredients that left me feeling energized and rejuvenated.
What truly set this retreat apart was the seamless integration of both the spiritual and physical components. Daily meditations and mindfulness practices were beautifully woven into movement sessions, allowing for deep introspection and connection. Whether it was yoga at sunrise, guided breathwork, or pole workshops, every aspect complemented the other, creating a profoundly cohesive and transformative experience.
If you’re looking for a retreat that nurtures every part of your being, this is it. I left feeling renewed, aligned, and deeply grateful for the experience.-Trelyn, Mexico Retreat 2025
“Kiana’s pole retreat was truly life-changing. “
I went in expecting a fun getaway, but it turned out to be a deeply transformative experience. I reconnected with my feminine power in ways I never imagined through our planned activities and pole sessions, all while in Mexico! The activities fostered so much growth—not just in my pole skills, but in my connection with myself. I loved learning how to move freely, express creatively through freestyle, and deepen my mind-body connection. Every moment felt intentional, allowing me to refine my technique while embracing fluidity and self-expression. Beyond the incredible workshops, every detail of this retreat was next level. The restaurants, private chef, and beach clubs were amazing. The community was absolutely incredible—supportive, uplifting, and completely judgment-free. We moved, meditated, and shared space in the most empowering way. It was a safe place to be vulnerable, to grow, and to celebrate ourselves without hesitation.
A special thank you to the fEMBODY Team for always being there to answer any questions and ensuring our safety throughout the stay. Their dedication and care truly made the experience seamless and enjoyable. If you’re considering going on one of Kiana’s retreats, do it. It’s more than just pole—it’s a journey of self-discovery, connection, and empowerment. I left feeling recharged, inspired, and deeply grateful for the experience.
