"With a personal interest and background in endurance sport, in particular long distance running and road cycling, I am passionate about all things fitness related. I discovered Pilates seeking help for posture related problems, was quickly convinced of this self empowering approach to movement and thus found my calling. After extensive theoretical and practical training I qualified as a full Body Control (TM) Pilates mat work instructor in 2005 and have since been teaching classes and private sessions in and around Newbury. Over the last 15 years I have also worked alongside physiotherapists which has given me a lot of experience in teaching clients with specific conditions ranging from hip replacements, sciatica, spinal fusions to non-specific lower back pain etc. This motivated me to become a Back4Good Practitioner and undertake additional training exclusively related to exercise referral and low back pain attaining the level 4 fitness instructor qualification.

I have also gained qualifications in all the Pilates Studio equipment and teach private sessions on the Reformer, Cadillac, Pilates Chair, Ladder Barrel and Arc. My detailed knowledge and understanding of how the body moves, my focus on postural corrective exercise and my enthusiasm will motivate you to working harder than you thought you could and make you move and feel muscles you never knew you had. I will help you increase your body awareness, taking your attention into the body, to experience what core stability actually feels like and then learn how to stabilise whilst executing bigger movements around that stability. This approach will create a balance between flexibility and strength thus realigning your entire body back to good posture."

Zoe's yoga classes are set to beautiful playlists and will challenge, lengthen, strengthen and release the physical body whilst weaving in breath work and mindfulness. You will leave feeling more connected, balanced and energised.

"I trained in Power Yoga over 12 years ago. My style of teaching has evolved to be a mix of yoga, somatic movement and dance."

"Having qualified as a Personal Trainer in 2001, I have spent over 20 years working directly with clients one on one or with group exercise classes and in 2020 I launched Caroline's Circuits, an online membership fitness platform offering live 30 minute workouts focussed on strength training. 

I am passionate about exercise in midlife and the benefits that resistance training brings both physically and mentally.  I also have an IG account @carolinescircuits where I provide workouts and fitness inspo/motivation. 

My first class at the Retreat will be a 30 minute lower body class focusing on strengthening the glutes (the powerhouse of the body!) and the leg muscles as well as the core. It can be done with just body-weight or using a resistance band and I promise a 45 minute full sculpting blast! I would love you to join me!"
