Pilates Retreats
Escape, exercise, reset and recharge
Achieving a work/life balance, even with support, can get frantic, overwhelming and exhausting.
This has been a constant theme with my clients, we created our retreats as an opportunity for people to escape, exercise, reset and recharge.
We began running our European retreats in 2010 and switched to UK only Retreats in 2022. We recognised the need to bring things closer to home, less travel, less airmiles, less environmental damage and a lot less travel related stress for our guests.
Our First UK Retreat in January 2022 sold out within weeks, and we thrilled to be bringing more of these energising weekends to our guests, we will be returning to the stunning New Forest, Christchurch in April & October 2023 – an enchanting and magical part of the world surrounded by ancient forests.
These weekend escapes are fully catered with the most delicious freshly cooked plantbased food, relaxing therapies can be enjoyed or simply relax inbetween your daily Pilates & Yoga sessions with a relaxing bath & book, all rooms are ensuite (there is no single supplement)
These retreats are aimed at people and teachers who are already passionate about the benefits of Pilates and want to explore the work in greater depth.
Suzy has been teaching both Classical & Contemporary Pilates since 2001, Yoga since 2021 & studied fascial anatomy with Gary Carter in 2022, join us for a weekend of movement, learning and fun.
What our clients say

Forthcoming Retreats
2023
Intensive Pilates weekend (early booking recommended)
October 27th-29th 2023 (Just 7 rooms remaining)
The Retreat, New Forest
Hampshire, UK Weekend escape
This stunning venue creates the perfect opportunity to enjoy the benefits of not only daily Pilates (2 x 90 minutes classes included) & some gentle reset Yoga and end of day stretching (2 x 75 minute classes included) but also the option to enjoy a little pampering on site with the talented team at Fine tuning treatments.
Delicious plant-based catering is provided throughout the weekend is provided by the Crow Spotters team and all accommodation is en-suite and within the beautiful House and grounds itself, outside of class you dont need to lift so much as a finger for the entire weekend.
We even have an optional outdoor sauna experience & a cold shower for those really ready to brave it.
Walks in the New Forest are a short drive away, alternatively you might want to head to Highcliffe beach and take in some sea air enjoy a paddle in the sea.
Alternatively, you can just rest, breathe and immerse yourself in this beautiful space and enjoy the chance to move, learn and laugh with like-minded guests.
Some experience of Pilates is required but if you are new to Yoga not to worry, just bring an open mind and a sense of humour and you will fit right in.
These retreats do sell out so, please register with our mailing list to stay updated.
