Events and retreats to nourish your soul
Recharge Escapes was founded by sisters Sasha and Sonja Lyth, who share a passion for traveling off the beaten and natural beauty.
During the summer of 2015, they began conceptualizing a unique wellness retreat that would combine their teaching skills on the Greek Islands. They felt that traveling to a serene, stunning location paired with movement, creativity, culture, and R&R would be a perfect recipe to rejuvenate the mind, body, and spirit, and it was!
How We Started
Their dream became a reality in June 2016 when they hosted their first retreat in Amorgos, Greece, and since hosted multiple retreats in Greece, Costa Rica, Bali, and the Caribbean.
Sonja has since taken ownership and runs Recharge Escapes through her business Solshine Pilates. She still hosts international retreats with her sister, and “Recharge Days” in collaboration with an incredible team of experts, from artists to energy healers to therapists and movement teachers, in majestic Northern California locations and beyond!

As a practicing artist and art educator with 15 years of experience, she has seen the many ways that art can improve the life and general well-being of her students. She believes that when one approaches art making from an intuitive perspective, this keeps us in the present, and results in deep inner satisfaction and confidence while adding creative balance to our busy lives.

What Sets Us Apart
We are not about engaging in strict detox, non-stop "Bootcamp" style workouts, or anything extreme. Our retreats are about finding peace in the present, tapping into that” free spirit” that has been neglected, and “filling your cup” with joy. You will find yourself in a serene, luxurious location where you can choose whatever activities you need to recharge your batteries and feel rejuvenated.
Each experience is unique in theme and duration, allowing you to pick and choose the experience that resonates with you most. We will provide you with various fitness classes, workshops with guest experts, healthy farm-to-table meals, excursions, and R &R. Corporate and Customized private group retreats are also offered at your destination of choice.
Our escapes are catered to busy people who don’t have the time to jet-set across the world for two weeks, but greatly desire a few days close to home where they can press pause and reward their body and soul with well-deserved self-care and love. Though we offer international escapes, most are weekend getaways.
Expect the unexpected. Although we will provide you with an itinerary and various activities, we like to toss in elements of spontaneity. This is to get you out of a routine comfort zone so that you can truly embrace the present and the beauty it offers
