Come and practice Pilates at Stag Wood in a lovely studio set in a garden with stunning views - exercise both mind and body whilst enjoying the tranquil setting.

Fantastic value with comfortable en-suite accommodation with a 'boutique' vibe.   

Weekend Pilates retreats are on offer from Friday to Sunday. There is a dedicated space that can accommodate up to 4 guests. The Pilates Weekend includes up to 6 hours of Pilates with time to also explore the coastal area - walking or cycling the coastal paths and visiting the local villages, whilst enjoying comfortable accommodation.

There will also be occasional ‘specialist’ weekends such as ‘Pilates & Mindfulness’ and ‘Pilates & Nordic Walking Tuition.’  In the summer months there is an option for water sports such as Paddle Boarding, a perfect mix with Pilates.

Teaching is first class - Stag Wood is owned by Susie Gale, who has taught for over 16 years, having trained with Body Control Pilates (BCP).  BCP is considered to be one of the premier ‘schools’ of Pilates training and widely seen as a benchmark for safe and effective teaching of the highest quality. She is also a qualified Nordic Walking instructor.

Susie comments: ‘I can’t promise you a new body in a few days but I can introduce you to the joys of Pilates and hope to share my passion with you. I can also encourage existing devotees to think in a different way and enhance their practice.’

All teachers associated with the retreats are Body Control Pilates trained. No need to buy special equipment - just bring your body! And RELAX!
