Pilates, Friendship & Time for You: Join Me in Portugal in April 2027 🌿☀️
Imagine waking up in beautiful Portugal, enjoying breakfast with lovely company and having something wonderful to look forward to: time to move, relax and enjoy yourself.
No rushing from one responsibility to the next. No squeezing your own wellbeing into whatever time is left over. Just a few special days to step away from your usual routine and do something for you.
I would love you to join me at Vila Galé Lagos in the Algarve, from 23–26 April 2027, for a retreat bringing together movement, relaxation and friendship.
And I have something very special to share…
A dream come true — and I’d love you to be part of it 💜
I’m absolutely honoured to have been invited to present my Pilates at this retreat. Taking my love of teaching to a beautiful setting abroad is something I’ve dreamed of doing, and being able to share the experience with you makes it even more special.
After more than 20 years in health and fitness, one of my greatest joys is seeing women discover what they can do — and watching the friendships that grow along the way.
That’s the feeling I want to bring to Portugal: a warm welcome, encouraging movement and plenty of smiles.
More than a break away
A retreat gives you something we can so easily put off: dedicated time for yourself.
Time to enjoy movement without watching the clock. Time to sit over breakfast and have a proper conversation. Time to relax, laugh and remember how lovely it feels to have something in your diary that is just for you.
Whether you’re coming for the Pilates, the company, the change of scenery or a little of everything, there is so much to look forward to.
Think movement, shared meals, new friendships and those lovely moments when you can finally let your shoulders drop.
Enjoy Pilates with me
My approach to Pilates has always been about helping you feel welcome, supported and encouraged.
During my sessions, we’ll enjoy purposeful movement with a focus on strength, mobility, flexibility and balance — with my usual friendly encouragement along the way!
You don’t need to feel that you must arrive already fit or be perfect at every exercise. If you’re wondering whether the Pilates will suit your experience or abilities, please have a chat with me before booking. I’ll be happy to talk it through.
Come with a friend — or take that first step for yourself
Perhaps you and a friend have been saying, “We really must book something together.”
This could be your something.
Or perhaps you love the idea, but you’re unsure about coming without someone you know. Please get in touch. I’d love to chat with you about the retreat and help you feel more comfortable about joining us.
One of the loveliest things about sharing an experience like this is the chance to get to know people beyond the usual quick hello before class.
What’s included? ✈️
The retreat package includes:
- Return flights and airport transfers.

Give yourself something wonderful to look forward to ☀️
If you’ve been waiting for the right moment to take a break, try something different or put yourself a little higher on your own list, perhaps this is your invitation.
I would love to share this experience with as many lovely ladies as possible — familiar faces from class and new faces too.
