pilates RETREAT | hot tubs | wine | switch off

Sometimes, it’s not just your body that needs a break - it’s your breath, your mind, your sense of self.

Our retreats are designed to give you space. Space to slow down. To rest deeply. To move with intention. And to reconnect, not only with your body, but with what truly matters.

Rooted in the same principles that guide everything we do at Soul: presence over pressure, depth over performance, and strength that begins from within - this is more than time away. It’s a chance to pause, breathe, and return to yourself.

At the heart of the retreat is Pilates: intelligent, mindful movement that builds deep core strength, improves posture, enhances mobility and leaves you feeling more connected to your body than ever before. Under the expert guidance of Alice, each class is carefully designed to meet you where you are and help you move with greater ease, strength and confidence, long after you return home.

And in 2026, there’s an even more beautiful way to unwind. Alongside our woodland hot tubs and restorative surroundings, you’ll now find an outdoor swimming pool — the perfect place to float, reset and let the world melt away.

Whether you’ve been practising with us in the studio or are simply drawn to a more mindful way of moving, we invite you to join us for a retreat experience that’s restorative, intelligent, and designed to help you feel truly renewed, inside and out.

what makes a soul retreat different?

We don’t do bootcamps.

We don’t do back-to-back classes.

​And we don’t believe that transformation comes from ticking boxes.

We believe it comes from slowing down.
From moving with care.
From surrounding yourself with people who see you, support you, and share your intention to feel better in your body – for the long term.
Our Retreats Include:

  • Twice Daily Pilates, led by experienced Soul teachers.
  • Woodland hot tubs
  • Outdoor swimming pool (new for 2026)
  • Workshops that go beyond Pilates to explore nervous system support, posture, and self-awareness.
  • Optional treatments with gifted therapists.
  • Nourishing, seasonal food served with soul.
  • Time – unstructured, to walk, rest, reflect or connect.

join us this september

This year, we’re running just one retreat – a carefully curated, intimate experience designed to offer more depth, more space, and more personal support.

Whether you’re a Soul member or new to our world, you’ll be held with care, encouraged without pressure, and guided in a way that helps you feel more at home in your body than ever before.

who this retreat is for

Our retreats are for anyone looking to feel better in their body – whether that means recovering from stress, reconnecting with movement, or simply stepping out of the daily rush and into stillness.

You don’t need to be “fit” or flexible. You don’t need to be a long-term Pilates client. You just need to be open to exploring a different kind of strength. Beginners welcome.

your retreat host

If you’ve experienced a class with Alice, you’ll already know: her teaching stays with you. She brings a rare kind of presence – calm, grounded, and quietly powerful – that allows people to feel deeply held, while guiding them into movement that’s thoughtful, expansive and alive.

Alice has been a professional mover since her teens, and trained as a Pilates teacher by the age of 18. With over a decade of teaching experience – and years spent mentoring, studying, and developing her own embodied approach – she’s one of Soul’s most loved and sought-after instructors.
Her classes are never about performance. They’re about feeling. About tuning in. About discovering strength through softness and reconnecting with your body in a way that feels intuitive, intelligent and healing.

On retreat, Alice brings all of this – and more. She creates space for laughter, presence, stillness and self-discovery. With her guidance, you’ll experience movement not as something to do, but as something to feel your way through.

Whether you’re managing injury, craving calm or simply ready to move more mindfully, you’ll leave her sessions feeling taller, lighter and more connected – not just to your body, but to yourself.

previous guest reviews

"The weekend was absolutely wonderful, so well organised, relaxing and in beautiful surroundings. Nic is a great Pilates teacher and host, she made me feel so at ease and welcome (some last minute covid plans meant I was coming on my own, but in the end this really didn’t matter!) Thoroughly enjoyed the weekend, learnt more about Pilates (and wine!), and made some new friends. A treasured memory!"

"Just wanted to say a big thank you for such a calm and restorative weekend - it was so well put together, well thought out and made for very special time for my Mum and I to spend together. We both loved your style of teaching and learned so much during our time with you. Had many a Eureka moment and will take so much from our weekend back into our lives. We’ll be back!"
