Reformer Retreats Featured In Marie Claire

We are delighted to be featured in Marie Claire’s new article, 13 Wellness Trends That Will Dominate In 2026. As a publication with long-standing authority across health, lifestyle and culture, Marie Claire brings real weight to the conversation around modern wellbeing. For us, it is a proud moment to see Reformer Retreats included in a feature that looks ahead at how people want to move, rest and travel, especially within a publication known for shaping wider lifestyle conversations.

Written by Ally Head, the piece explores the shifts set to define wellness in 2026, including the continued rise of Pilates in all its forms. Rather than treating it as a niche discipline, the article reflects how firmly it has entered the mainstream, noting that, “Pilates has been the workout of the moment for a few years now, with Reformer studios, hot Pilates spaces, and even wall Pilates classes popping up left, right and centre”. That wider context matters to us because it shows how strongly people are responding to movement that feels intelligent, effective and sustainable, and why retreats centred on Pilates are attracting growing interest.

At Reformer Retreats, we have always believed that people want more than a beautiful setting on its own. They want to feel restored by the whole experience, from the quality of the teaching to the calm of the environment and the thought put into every detail. As owner Sophie Hatton says in the article, “There's a growing demand for deeply restorative experiences in settings where considered design, luxury and holistic practice seamlessly combine. People are looking for architecturally led environments that harmonise, inspire and cultivate a profound sense of calm, and spaces to reconnect, recharge and rediscover your inner equilibrium.” For us, that captures exactly what Reformer Retreats is here to offer.

This feature feels like a meaningful sign of where wellness travel is heading and where we see our brand continuing to grow. We remain committed to creating carefully considered experiences that balance strength, calm and beauty. To explore our upcoming retreats, visit Reformer Retreats.
