Wintering Day Retreat @ Thrive Pilates

7th November 2026

Date: Saturday 7th November 2026

Location: Thrive Pilates Studio, Exeter

Time: 9am-5.30pm

In Winter, nature is slowing down, the days are short, and energies are low.

How do we acknowledge this natural pull while life has the same demands as the rest of the year?

We still need to work, be on schedule, exercise, look after ourselves and others. How do we honour the need to do less and still function successfully in our own lives?

Come and join us for a day of movement, self-care and relaxation.

Leave with new ideas, a deeper connection to self and practical tools to support yourself in the cooler months.

Join us: Wintering Day Retreat

“Vida is the best teacher, her classes are always focused and informative as well as fun. Her ability to hold the space and keep an eye on everyone I order to best support them is amazing, I have learned so much about my body and alignment since I started going a couple of years ago. The space itself is really beautiful too, very clean, loved and well equipped. I would (and have) recommend Thrive Pilates to everyone!”

What’s on at Thrive

The highlight of my week! Vida is the most patient, thoughtful and knowledgeable teacher who has worked wonders with me in 1:1 sessions. I can’t thank her enough… super supportive and encouraging!! I feel I have grown a confidence and love for movements that I didn’t think my body could achieve. Such a wonderfully warm energy in the mat class too.
Vida will always suggest considerate personal adaptations to suit everyone in the small friendly classes.
