Pilates retreat: Nourish & Reset

Join us for a restorative weekend of food and Pilates.

Norfolk | 6–8 November 2026

Slow down before the festive season

Life has a habit of becoming busier as the year draws to a close, so we wanted to create a weekend that encourages you to pause for a moment. Join us in the beautiful Norfolk countryside for three days of nourishing food, energising Pilates and plenty of time to simply slow down.

Hosted by myself, Maria, and my wonderful friend and Pilates instructor Bethany, this retreat combines everything we love most: good food, movement and bringing people together. Whether you're coming with a friend or travelling on your own, you'll be warmly welcomed into our little retreat community.

No previous Pilates or cooking experience is needed - just a willingness to unwind and enjoy yourself.

What You Can Expect

Daily Pilates

Each morning begins with an energising Pilates session to wake up the body and set the tone for the day. We'll also enjoy a restorative movement session later in the weekend to help you relax and recharge.

Seasonal Cooking & Baking

We'll spend time together in the kitchen preparing delicious seasonal dishes, baking fresh bread and learning recipes you'll want to recreate at home.

Time to Rest

There will be plenty of free time to curl up with a book, enjoy a cup of coffee, take a walk or simply relax in our beautiful surroundings.

Shared Meals

Every meal is designed to be enjoyed together around one table. Expect colourful seasonal food, homemade bakes and plenty of conversation.

“I can’t begin to express how much I loved this session — it truly felt like four hours of pure therapy. For the first time in a long while, I was able to completely switch off and just enjoy the simple joy of baking.”
