La Serranía.... Mallorca, Spain

 

p i l a t e s    &   h i k i n g     Martina Büttner

October 6 - 13, 2012
This week offers the perfect opportunity to treat yourself one more time to the sun, to relax around the pool, to discover the island from a completely different side, to enjoy time on your own, to chat with others, to experience the Mediterranean cuisine or simply to try something new. A week for body and spirit !

What is Pilates ?

Many people associate Pilates with pure abdominal exercises, yet the practice offers much more than this. The goal is to achieve a stable torso but also selectivity of movement. Awareness and breathing give depth to the practice and allow you to be conscious of your body and move it accordingly. Short structures are lengthened and weak ones strengthened until a balance is achieved that eventually leads to a good, upright and liberated feeling in the body. Pilates can be taken up at any stage and so is suitable for all ages.




What to expect

At least 2 Pilates classes each day – mornings and evenings – with a view across the gorgeous mountains of Mallorca. We will start with the basics, which gives beginners the chance to get familiar with the practice and should encourage those with more experience to closely examine their own practice. Then the level of difficulty will rise, appropriately for the group.

Between classes there will be time for 1:1 training, to address individual issues.

On 3 days we will have the chance to discover and experience the island on foot with a local guide. The walks will be chosen according to the group’s ability.

In the culinary department, Martina Singer and Tim Pennell know how to look after us. Fresh Mediterranean cooking, prepared with much love, awaits us each day. (Individual food requirements can of course be addressed.)

And all this in a breathtaking location, far from the crowds, where you will find the energy to come up with new ideas, let go, switch off and find new creativity.

I look forward to an eventful week !
