Beyond The Mat: A Day Retreat for Movement Teachers

Move. Reflect. Learn. Relax. Connect.

This retreat day is for Pilates teachers who want to feel clearer, more confident, and more grounded in how they teach without adding more pressure or overwhelm.

It’s a full day of movement, practical workshops, coaching, and rest, designed to support both your body and your teaching life.

What this day is about

Teaching can be deeply rewarding and also isolating, demanding, and tiring.

This day is a chance to:

step out of your usual routine
reconnect with your body and your values
learn tools you can actually use
spend time with like‑minded teachers who get it
You’ll leave feeling recharged, clearer in your teaching, and more confident in your approach.

What’s included

Two guided movement sessions
Thoughtful, nourishing movement to help you:

settle your nervous system
explore strength, play and ease
integrate ideas into your body, not just your head
Four practical workshops
Beyond the Mat: Teaching Movement That Sticks
Learn how simplicity, sensation, and timing help clients carry movement into daily life without over‑explaining or over‑teaching.

Bodies at Desks: Teaching for Modern, Sedentary Lives
Practical tools to help desk‑based clients move better, reduce tension, and integrate Pilates into everyday life.

Foundations of Strength: Teaching Women with Confidence
Understand women’s bodies across life stages, integrate core and pelvic floor awareness, and teach strength in a way that feels safe, clear, and empowering.

Coaching & Reflection: Building Your Authority
Time to reflect on your teaching and business, work through self‑doubt and imposter syndrome, and reconnect with your own teaching style in a sustainable, realistic way.

Coaching, reflection, and connection

There will be space to share goals, reflect in small groups, and receive supportive feedback without fixing or pressure.

This is about clarity, self‑trust, and finding your own lane, not copying someone else’s.

The setting

We’ll be hosted at the beautiful Mason & Fifth Westbourne Park, with time built into the day to:

relax in the swimming pool and sauna
enjoy a restorative sound bath
eat a healthy lunch
slow down and properly connect
Who this is for

This day is for Pilates teachers who:

want practical tools, not more theory
feel ready to simplify how they teach
work with real people living real lives
value connection as much as content
You don’t need to be at a certain stage of your career — just open to reflection and learning.

About us

We’re both Pilates teachers with years of experience working with women’s bodies and supporting teachers.

Together, we blend movement, coaching, and clear thinking so what you learn is grounded, realistic, and usable.

What you’ll leave with

By the end of the day, you’ll feel:

grounded in your body
clearer in your teaching
more confident in your approach
connected to other teachers
And you’ll leave with tools you can use immediately.
