5 Gorgeous Retreats on LMP’s Radar

I have been lucky enough to have taught on and hosted many retreats in my Pilates career so far and after having my son Sebby in 2023, we ran two retreats that year in Cornwall and Tuscany with Sebby strapped to me in the carrier. However, I knew I had to put a little pause on them after that and am excited to run some again in the future, I’m thinking 2028 (lol) so save the date hehe!

I have been lucky enough to have taught on and hosted many retreats in my Pilates career so far and after having my son Sebby in 2023, we ran two retreats that year in Cornwall and Tuscany with Sebby strapped to me in the carrier. However, I knew I had to put a little pause on them after that and am excited to run some again in the future, I’m thinking 2028 (lol) so save the date hehe!

However it’s a question I get asked about all the time and some of our fabulous LMP teachers are running retreats this year so I’ve popped them below as well as some other’s I’ve been eyeing up.

If you’ve been dreaming of a retreat in 2026 to re-connect with yourself and your movement practise these might be perfect for you!

Zoe Markos-Thresher, Yoga & Pilates, Cyprus

Mother daughter duo Zöe and Dora share a glimpse of the Cypriot story with you through creative modalities such as pottery, lace making and crafts whilst bringing daily movement to the retreat space to start and end each day. Their goal is for you to leave with a new connection to yourself, a full cup to take back home and hopefully a new friendship or two!

Turning 33

I turned 33 last week on the 16th January 2025. This is not one of those posts where I tell you all the things I’ve learnt in 33 years. Mainly because honestly I feel like I am just getting started. 33 really is still young isn’t it? Isn’t it? I love how long life hopefully is and all being well I am only just over a third of the way into it. “In 2022, the life expectancy at birth for women born in the UK was 82.57”* I’m aiming for 100 but I’m also not obsessed with it.

The top 3 books I read in 2024 and why

Sitting here in the corner of my bedroom while my son Sebastien naps in the bed. I was reading my book for a while while he napped. It’s Talking At Night by Clare Daverley and I’ve very very nearly finished it but I’m doing that thing where you drag a book out because you’ve enjoyed reading it so much you don’t want it to end. It’s reached by top 3 books of 2024. Here’s why plus the two other books I highly recommend you read.

5 cute and comfy activewear looks for 2025

As a Pilates teacher and founder of online virtual studio/App LMP, you won’t be surprised to learn I have a lot of activewear. I feel best in comfy loungey but well put together looks rather than sporty workout wear. I think my wonderful members and followers feel the same as I get asked where I get my activewear from quite often. I wanted to start doing some journal posts with my fave looks in.

My routines and habits for autumn

I really want to take care of myself over the next few months. I’m going to be honest with you, I have been so freaking run down recently. I keep getting some sort of cold, flu or virus every three weeks or so and then never fully recovering. I am SO ready for our 24 Days of Pilates 5.0 challenge starting within the LMP virtual studio on 1st December and really want it to kickstart the new “taking care of myself” me.
