This is my second time of attending a Soul Pilates retreat. It really is a truly special experience and one I am looking to repeat again next year.
My life has changed significantly since I attended 2 years ago. I can honestly say it did me the world of good for many different reasons.
In summary it is relaxing, sociable, uplifting, friendly and extremely enjoyable.
The accommodation is based on a farm in the middle of the countryside. It is in the middle of fields, woods and close to the estuary. The food is as you would expect on a farm -Vegetarian of the highest standard.
We had the opportunity of attending 6 Pilates classes with Alice an outstanding Instructor. I attend Alice's class every Friday at the Bishopston studio. Alice is a true professional, friendly, approachable and very clear with her instruction. I am not used to using a mat and as part of my review on the retreat I said I found mat Pilates different to the Reformer and equally as good.
If you are on your own I can honestly say dont be put off. Everyone is very friendly, welcoming and supportive. There is a real sense of community within the group.
One of my favourite past times is collecting Sea Glass, which i have collected in many places around the world. A highlight for me is the amount of Sea Glass on the beach only 15 minutes walk from the Farm.
I truly believe that whatever you enjoy or want from attending a retreat you will find it.
