Today, we are sitting down with Aleksandra Marzena Pudlik, the visionary founder behind the highly talked-about OLA Retreat. In a world that constantly demands our attention, Aleksandra has created a sanctuary for women to unplug, move, and reconnect with their true selves. Combining her deep knowledge and extraordinary passion for music (DJ Aleks Sputnik is one of Ibiza´s hottest DJ acts) with decades of experience as a Personal Trainer.
Thank you for having us, Aleks. Recently you founded Ola Retreat - which is actually more than a retreat. What is it and why "OLA"?
Thank you for having me!
The name is actually very personal—"Ola" is how my name, Aleksandra, is pronounced in Poland. But beautifully enough, it holds a second meaning. In Spanish, "ola" means "wave." To me, it represents a wave of transformation, movement, and flow. This concept of the wave carries through everything we do at the retreat, both in physical movement and in the music we use. The entire philosophy and the unique impact it has on our participants are deeply rooted in this idea, which I also explore in depth on my website.
That dual meaning is beautiful, and it perfectly sets the tone for a wellness journey. Speaking of that journey—when women decide to attend an OLA Retreat, what is the main impact they can expect?
