TLM Spring 2024 Long Beach Retreat
Host: theLONDONmethod
Location: Long Beach, California
Dates: April 21-26, with optional instructor training April 26-28
Price: TBD
Email hello@thelondonmethod.net with LB RETREAT as the subject line to reserve your spot. Registration opens in early February.
What to expect:
California’s theLONDONmethod has been hosting twice-annual retreats for a few years. Side note: I finally went on a retreat after many pandemic delays. I must say my expectations were quite high, thanks to years of built-up Instagram FOMO. It was even better than I had hoped, thanks to a great itinerary in the most idyllic country setting and an amazing group of women who felt like great gal pals after a few days.
Here’s some sad news: with the announced closure of their Hungerford outpost, it’s not known if future retreats will be held in the beautiful English countryside again. However, the tLm crew are hosting their inaugural Long Beach retreat, where their home studio is and who wouldn’t enjoy a few days in sunny California?
Though details about this retreat are still unknown, you can expect daily classes taught by theLONDONmethod instructors. Known for their teaching of the “original” Lotte Berk technique as taught to them by Lotte’s daughter, Esther, tLm is carrying on the Lotte/Esther legacy by sharing the origins of the barre workout with the world.
If you want to learn more about the theLONDONmethod, you can tack on an optional training weekend from April 26-28. Follow theLONDONmethod on Instagram for more updates.

There will be 10 spots available for the retreat, making it nice and intimate if that’s your jam. You’ll also do barre classes on the beach and by the pool with their new Sound Off Experience headsets.

Do you know of any barre retreats planned for 2024 that we don’t have on our radar? Drop a comment below to let us know.
Wow, some of these sound so cool! I hope one day I get to attend a barre retreat. Or maybe even a yoga one. Thanks for posting!
are there any U.S. Barre retreats this 2021 year that aren’t sold out.
Good question. The World Barre Summit is taking place in October of this year, both in-person and online. It’s more of a conference than a retreat though. https://www.barresummit.com/ I haven’t heard of any North American retreats taking place in 2021, as I’d imagine people are waiting for COVID to die down. Barre Where You Are has a 2022 retreat planned in Costa Rica. I’ll keep my eyes out for more upcoming retreats.
Wow, thanks for this list. Sadly i am late to the game apparently …
Do you happen to know of any retreats in August 2024 by coincidence?
Thanks
Thanks! I haven’t come across any August 2024 retreats yet, but I’ll keep my eye out. If you have time in September or October, there are a couple I know of including: Barre Forward at the Beach Retreat, which is stateside in September and California Barre x The Belle Method in October. Hope that helps!
