Your mat is only the beginning.
You’re here for the Pilates. But Pilates is only part of your experience.
Sometimes Retreat is an hour. Sometimes it needs a passport.
Embrace a familiar face. Stumble upon new ones.
For a little while, there is nowhere else you need to be.
This is Retreat Pilates House.
Your plans after Pilates? Don’t make any.

Meet Ellie

Hi, I’m Ellie.

I’m a Comprehensive Pilates Instructor and the founder of Retreat Pilates House.

I’ve spent years teaching Pilates and there’s still nothing I love more! A really good class can give you so much - concentration, challenge, satisfaction and a whole body connection - leaving you feeling better than when you arrived.

And, making someone feel better than when they walked in, will never get old.

Knowing that an hour of movement and connection can completely brighten your day, is a huge part of why I still love teaching Pilates so much.

Pilates has also brought some pretty incredible people into my life.

I’ve met some of my lifelong friends through Pilates - people I may never have crossed paths with (including my husband), simply because we kept showing up in the same place.

I love that something you initially turn up to for yourself can quietly become so much more.

I want to share more of that.

The places we go. The people we meet. The conversations that continue after we’ve rolled up the mats. The days that feel bigger because you did something with them.

Retreat is where I get to combine really good Pilates with all the other things I think make life more interesting - and take you along for it.

I don’t know exactly where we’ll end up.

But I know I want us to go places.
