I can't think of a better location to do Pilates - listening to the sounds of the seagulls and the waves is so calming, and the view is unbeatable!

— Marina Huxley

"My aim for the weekend is to help you improve and refine your Pilates practice, or if you're a complete beginner, to give you the best possible introduction to this incredible method of exercise. I want you to leave feeling relaxed, lengthened and above all, happy.  I really hope you can join me."
