Elevate Your Wellbeing: The Anne Sexton Pilates Retreat at Finca Monasterio, Sotogrande

Discover a transformative journey towards holistic wellness at the Anne Sexton Pilates Retreat, held at the breathtaking Finca Monasterio in Sotogrande. Led by renowned pilates practitioner Anne Sexton, this retreat promises an immersive experience that combines the power of Pilates, healthy eating, and fascia-focused movement to nourish both body and mind.

Central to this retreat is the promotion of healthy eating and gut-friendly foods, recognising the vital role they play in our overall well-being. A healthy gut is the cornerstone of optimal health, influencing various aspects of our physical and mental vitality. By consuming nutrient-dense, gut-friendly foods during the retreat, we can support the flourishing of our gut microbiome, aiding digestion, nutrient absorption, and bolstering our immune system. The Anne Sexton Pilates Retreat at Finca Monasterio takes pride in offering carefully curated meals and educational workshops that empower participants to make informed choices about their diet, fostering lasting habits that can be seamlessly integrated into their daily lives.

Moreover, this retreat places a strong emphasis on movement and the fascial system, recognizing its profound impact on our bodies. Fascia, the intricate connective tissue that envelops and supports our muscles, organs, and bones, plays a pivotal role in our overall physical well-being. Sedentary lifestyles, poor posture, and repetitive movements can cause fascial restrictions, leading to discomfort, limited range of motion, and diminished vitality. Through specialised Pilates exercises and fascia-focused movement practices, the Anne Sexton Pilates Retreat at Finca Monasterio aims to unlock and restore the fluidity of the fascial network, enabling participants to experience enhanced flexibility, improved alignment, and a renewed sense of physical well-being.

Hear from Previous Attendees

I attended a Pilates retreat at Tinakilly house hosted by Anne Sexton in January 2022. It was a very enjoyable weekend! The pilates classes along with the wellness talks and gorgeous lunch, dinner & breakfast were fantastic. I would highly recommend Annes classes and for anyone seeking a wellness retreat in Wicklow to get in touch with her.

Emma McLoughlin

The Pilates Retreat in Finca Monasteiro was such a great experience. It was a stunning hotel, with super healthy food and ImI met such lovely people. The Pilates was intensive but brilliantly taught by Anne in a fun and relaxed atmosphere. Loved every minute and I would do it again. Thanks to all the team.

Siobhan Breen

Thanks for the wonderful day on Saturday. I found it really informative and enjoyable, and have started doing some of the exercises everyday!!

RM Kearney

A really lovely day. Time to step away from it all and catch up with myself. I thoroughly enjoyed it

I attended your event last year and you made suggestions about supplementation for PMS and I cannot thank you enough for the difference they have made. Even my husband says Thank you too

I wanted to go on an Anne Sexton Pilates retreat to get a deeper understanding of Pilates. I greatly admire and enjoy Anne's teaching skills, so the idea of 3 classes a day appealed to me. It exceeded my expectations. The venue, the sunshine, the classes, the food, and the company made the experience one of the best retreats I've ever been on. Thank you.

Valerie

The Pilates retreat exceeded all expectations for me. The standard of Pilates coaching and guidance was excellent which gave each of us every opportunity to learn, develop and grow stronger. Beyond that the daily walk and relaxed atmosphere with great company in great surroundings was a tonic. The accommodation and food was fabulous, and I genuinely feel I will carry some new habits home with me. I’m looking forward to next year!

Finola

I have just returned from one of the most restorative weeks I have ever had. Every aspect of Anne’s retreat has been created with expertise and care and it far exceeded all my expectations. From the multiple Pilates classes, the food, the stunning venue, the informative talks and the incredible other people I met on it, words cannot convey what a gift this retreat is. Pure heaven.

Emma

The Anne Sexton Pilates Retreat at the beautiful Finca Monasterio was everything and more than I could have imagined. As a beginner in Pilates in a group of mixed levels Anne always managed to make sure everyone was reaching their potential. The many classes over the five days were varied, covering all ranges of movement and the benefit of completing them in such a joyful, tranquil setting is immeasurable. The stunning surrounds of the Finca Monasterio combined with the warmth and professionalism from all who contributed to this retreat, made it a break like no other. Thank you Anne, you have created the perfect getaway.

Gillian

I wasn't sure what to expect from the retreat, but it far exceeded my expectations. The hotel, gardens & pool were absolutely charming, and the staff were always helpful and friendly. While some people arrived as friends, most of us travelled solo. By the end though, we were one laughing close knit group.
The Pilates level of experience varied among participants, but Anne skilfully adapted the program without anyone feeling left behind. Personally I feel my Pilates practice improved significantly, and I'm motivated to continue progressing. My ribs are just about recovering - not just from Pilates, but from all the laughing.
