Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Pilates wellness retreat?
A Pilates retreat is a wellness holiday designed to strengthen your core, improve posture, and enhance flexibility through daily Pilates practice. Programmes often include mat and Reformer sessions, complemented by yoga, massage, and nourishing cuisine. Whether you choose a Pilates retreat in the Canary Islands, a Pilates holiday in Portugal, or a tropical Reformer Pilates and yoga retreat in Thailand, the focus is on mindful movement and whole-body wellbeing.
What types of Pilates are offered?
Most retreats include a mix of mat-based Pilates, Reformer Pilates, or both. Mat classes build control and stability using bodyweight and props, while Reformer sessions use equipment to add resistance and precision. Many Pilates retreats in Europe offer both styles for a balanced experience.
