Wildflower Pilates 🌿

Located within the peaceful grounds of The Retreat New Forest, Wildflower Pilates is a beautiful, purpose-built studio offering a calm, supportive space for mindful movement.

With floor-to-ceiling mirrors and underfloor heating, the studio is designed for comfort and connection. On warmer days, classes may move outdoors to enjoy birdsong and fresh air; in cooler months, the studio offers a warm, light-filled retreat.

Classes are thoughtfully tailored to create a balanced, flowing Pilates practice, blending strengthening, stretching and relaxation. Sessions draw on both classical and contemporary Pilates, using small equipment such as foam rollers, magic circles, overballs, spiky balls and mini bands.

Led by an experienced team:
✨ Charlie Storrie
✨ Jessica Tubbs
✨ Beth Butterworth

Classes run Monday to Friday, with options from Foundations through to Intermediate and Advanced.

From all of us at The Retreat New Forest 🌿
