I love everything about Pilates and believe it is not only a pure exercise form in itself but also the ideal accompaniment to any other activity. I am also passionate about the health benefits and enjoyment of outdoor activities and am a blissfully ‘happy-Zoe’ when up a mountain or messing about on water! However, as I work and have 2 small children, finding time to do any of these things is a challenge in itself- hence the ‘Micro-Retreat’ formula! I find it works brilliantly; you’re only away for a few nights (so no one really notices you’re gone). You, however feel as though you’ve been away for a month! You’ve have had an absolutely fabulous time and return home feeling refreshed, rejuvenated, re-set and ready to go!
You’ve packed in loads of activity, maybe learned a new skill, your body has been prepped by morning Pilates so you reap the benefits throughout the day whilst enjoying your feature activity. You’ve exercised, been looked after (handed a cup of tea … or glass of wine!) and have slept soundly, deeply and restoratively in a wonderfully comfortable bed in your luxury accommodation.
Currently all the retreats are based in the fabulous Chalet St Piran, Villars-sur-Ollon, Switzerland. Find out more about the chalet here where you can also book your own ski trip or summer mountain adventure through me!
Retreats will vary in the ‘feature’ activity but Pilates will always be at the core (see what I did there?!). The premise being Pilates activates our core, mobilises our joints and prepares our minds to connect with our muscles ready for action whether it be paddle boarding, hiking, skiing, trail running, or …. wine tasting (?!). Come on your own or in a group, with any levels of ability, no experience will be necessary, local instructors will always be booked for the feature activity and I will teach the Pilates.
My micro-retreats will fall into place beautifully alongside your other holiday plans for the year; not detracting too much time or resources but may feel like your main holiday due to the wonderful balance of action, relaxation and sense of luxury. See you in Switzerland!
