Spring Retreat May 17th 2026

Service Description

I cannot tell you how much I love these Retreat Days - and I think that the word "treat" is in there for a reason...Often, in classes, or online, I can teach a snippet of what I have learnt about how to support your health and wellbeing, but these days give me the opportunity to talk with you in person about the things I have read, the things I have learnt, the things I have experienced and really, what has made the difference. What have been the lightbulb moments.  What can I share that will help you too.  ​Disco Diva now starts the day - because in all fairness, we come feeling a little bit anxious, so why not burn off that worry with some light-hearted way to move, laugh and remind ourselves that exercise does not have to feel serious to be effective. Next comes a chance to listen to some of the research about how we can use our diet (what we do every day) alongside our nutrition (what we choose to eat) to see how that influences our everyday energy, how our  hormones influence our appetite, our insulin sensitivity, our bone health, sleep, stress and even our hair and nails! Yes, eating is more about our feeling good than how much we weigh. ​​If you find that the thought of "strength" a bit overwhelming, or you want to get stronger, but don't know how, or you have an injury or condition that limits your movement, then why not have a go at trying some Pilates with weights?  ​ As cheesy as it sounds, I actually love the phrase "glow up" because it seems to be about polishing something we already have - that is us!  Over the years, I have realised that one thing does not suit all. This sessions looks at what we need to do in 4 specific areas of our life so that we feel good, sleep well, shine at what we do, have energy and enthusiasm and glow from the inside out.  A talk after lunch is all that we need to settle in. Your handbook will give you more detail, but this is all about chatting together about things we know, things I have found out from science and bringing it all together. So, Disco Diva, then a talk on diet and nutrition, and a workout of Pilates with small dumbbells, how to "glow up", followed by what are the four pillars of all over health and wellbeing and then some deep relaxation. All of the above, plus a great handbook, a fab goody bag with "tour T-shirt", and access to the online Summer Shape Up which runs from the 15th June - 11th July.
