Day retreats

Pilates One Day Retreats

Do you feel like some 'you time', where you can focus on yourself (for a change), enjoy some movement, unwind, relax & switch off from your busy life ?

Sounds like my Pilates day retreats are just what you need.

One whole day to focus on you, just you.

And if you feel guilty about taking some time out DON'T. Your body & mind will thank you & self-care is so important in our ever increasing 'busy lives.'

And it would be hard to find more tranquil & calm surroundings, as all my day retreats are held at Buckfast Abbey. The Abbey & gardens are breathtaking, as soon as you step into the gounds you can feel the 'peacefulness.'

Feel re-energsised through movement, connecting your whole body. Enjoy the stretches & mindfulness, allowing yourself to let go of your stress & 'switch off' completely.

Nourish your body with locally sourced food , prepared from scratch.

Lunch always includes a selection of savoury delights & salads plus a lovely pudding.

Spoil yourself - it's your day.

Explore the beautiful grounds. And indulge your creative side by taking part in the craft activity. Doesn't matter if you think you're rubbish at crafts - give it a go.

It's nothing too difficult & always great after lunch to keep you awake, it's been specially chosen so you can 'lose yourself' in it. And you may even learn a new skill - what's not to love? !!

And we're so lucky as we have the lovely Olive & Bloom joining us on our July retreat.

Leave your day feeling that your body & mind have been restored from head to toe, nourished from inside out.

Throughout the day have fun, giggles (hopefully) & enjoy chatting to like minded ladies.

These are ladies only day retreats, suitable for all ages & abilities. It doesn't matter if you're completely new to Pilates.
