Why a Pilates day retreat could be the BEST GIFT you give yourself

Happy New Year!

Wishing you all the very best for a great 2026. As we clear up the final bits from Christmas, pack away the decorations for another year, and eye with fatigue that last box of chocolates and cheese, gifts and Christmas excess are now in the rear mirror.

I hope that you received a gift that you are happy with? Would you like to invest in the best gift to yourself to “feel uplifted, refreshed and reconnected to your body and mind”. 2026 has 5 wonderful Fitwoman retreats to choose from, the first on January 17th 2026 at Winterbourne Monkton hall, Wiltshire, SN4 9NW

But why go to a retreat?

At Christmas time our lives are busier than ever which can leave you feeling depleted after all of the extra work required.

A day retreat with Pilates and body weight exercises is a chance to reset: to step away from the every day demands of life, to reconnect with your body and leave feeling uplifted refreshed and re - energised.

A full body reset in one day

The retreat is carefully structured to give you a balance of strength, movement, mobility and rest, using bodyweight exercises with dynamic Pilates.

“its not about pushing harder- its about moving better”

Nourishment for Body and Mind

After exercise, enjoy a relaxed lunch or afternoon tea with homemade goodies. Time to connect with others and take a pause, or take a quiet moment to yourself and stroll around the grounds.

Slow down, stretch, release.

The afternoon is a slower the pace. Stretching and gentle Pilates helps release tension, improve mobility and restore balance to the nervous system. The guided relaxation gives you the space to fully unwind and let go.. many people fall asleep or go into a very deep state of relaxation.

If a day for you sounds like a wonderful gift please get in touch,

i’d love to welcome you to my next retreat! My treat to you!
