We could all benefit from a Pilates holiday, why you ask? Because it’s a complex and thorough workout that can be done all by yourself. No two Pilates holidays are the same. They all aim to provide something different to serve the unique needs of their guests, some provide an environment for strength and endurance building, others choose to focus on all the mindful and emotional healing properties that the practise offers, and some retreats like to use Pilates in conjunction with other exercises as a tool for weight loss. One thing they all have in common is the shared insight that they provide, insight and knowledge of Pilates that you can take with after your stay and apply in your day-to-day life.
Whatever your focus might be, there is a certainly a singles Pilates holiday out there that’s just made for you!
