We will start each morning with an energetic Pilates session, before breakfast whilst the weather is cooler. Finishing the day off with Pilates on the deck or breathwork at the house.

As usual I will adapt the sessions to the group attending and provide alternatives as needed. This is a chance to slow things down and explore in more detail with the evening focus on breathwork to engage our parasympathetic nervous system and slow down.
