SUMMER DAY RETREAT JUNE 2024

I’m so happy I signed up for the Summer Day Retreat in Margate. Despite the weather not being to our advantage, Antoinette + Xander had thought about everything and we spent the loveliest day! The programme was shared with us weeks in advance so we knew what to expect and how the day was going to happen. The walk along the beach turned into a fun adventure, the pilates and acro yoga were amazing and the sauna + cold plunge *such* a treat to finish the day. The 7 other ladies who took part were the nicest and we all quickly connected and had fun. On top of the activities, Antoinette + Xander had also prepared the yummiest picnic, biscuits, cakes and warm tea to enjoy along the way *and* had also booked a great spot to have cocktails and a grazing platter before going to take the train back to London. It really was a dreamy day by the seaside, I’m so eager to follow them both in another adventure and chill day :)

The Spring Day retreat with Antoinette and Xander was a perfect day to switch off from daily stresses whilst enjoying the day in fresh coastal air and enjoying a variety of activities. There were quite a few highlights to the day that I struggle to point out just one - loved the sauna on the beach and a dip in the sea, afterwards felt energised for the rest of the day. The food selection was amazing, I would say this was the best and the healthiest picnic I've ever had! Not long afterwards followed by delicious treats during our afternoon tea on the beach. The walk was long and therefore felt challenging at times, but exactly what I love doing and really needed after a week in front of PC screen. All and more was accompanied by positive vibes in the group, smiles and encouragement from Antoinette and Xander. I loved everything about the day and am now looking forward to the September retreat I had booked even more. Thank you for making this day so special and reminding me what self-care and happiness looks like!

MARGATE DAY RETREAT, SEPTEMBER 2023

It was honestly such a wonderful experience. Antoinette has a way of making movement feel fun and like a luxury. To push your limits on some occasions and to reign it in a relax on others. She introduced me to new Acro-yoga experiences and cold water swimming and she helped me do it all around a bunch of other wonderful people. It was truly an unforgettable day that I will never forget - so freeing and so fun especially for those drained by city life. Book it!

This was the perfect day - a quick train ride from London and I immediately felt a million miles from it all.  We were spoilt with the most delicious picnic on the beach, learnt some new tricks during the acro session and had some fantastic pilates and flow sessions.  I left with endorphins pumping and a very full heart! Antoinette had thought of everything to make it amazing - from fancy hand sanitiser, to gorgeous mats and massage balls for us to take away.  I didn't know anyone, but the group was so friendly.  See you in January.

Aside from being a regular at Antoinette's pilates class at Gymbox Ealing, I have attended one of her Flow, Stretch, Switch Off Sunday Sessions in Farringdon and the Margate Retreat.

I love how Antoinette's events are carefully organised, the level of attention, detail and care that goes into them is amazing! In Margate, the highlights of the retreat were not just the training sessions, which I knew from experience were going to be great, but especially the lovely meals home-cooked by Antoinette and Xander - everyone demanded a recipe book after spending two days with them! They are both fantastic hosts, and created a lovely, welcoming atmosphere through the whole weekend. I already can't wait for the next one!

This is what Sundays are made for - a few hours away from the hustle and bustle to concentrate on my health and wellbeing in a beautiful environment and with the wonderful Antoinette.  Feeling virtuous after the challenging flow class, the 'stretch' and 'switch off' parts of the session are so relaxing.  I can't help but drift off to sleep in the hammock during the 'switch off' part.  And then topped off with tea and cake and the beautiful goodie bag.  A dreamy combination which keeps me coming back, and such good value too.

The studio looked amazing with the autumnal gourds, beautiful twigs and seasonal flowers.  The class itself was fantastic, challenging but really fun and the mediation in the hammocks was so relaxing and a perfect way to end the session. The tea and cakes afterwards were delicious and the goodie bag was a lovely treat.

Antoinette's event provided the ideal Sunday afternoon experience. The invigorating Pilates flow rejuvenated my body, followed by a soothing meditation session in the hammock that allowed me to destress and unwind. The delightful selection of homemade cakes, tea, and engaging conversations at the end added a special touch, and I loved going home with a goodie bag full of treats from carefully sourced brands. Looking forward to the next session!
