Reformer Retreats Featured In The London Standard

We are delighted to be featured in The London Standard. As one of London’s best-known publications, The London Standard has a strong voice in conversations around culture, lifestyle and what matters to readers across the capital. For Reformer Retreats, being included in a piece focused on the future of wellness travel is a proud moment, and one that reflects the growing interest in more thoughtful, movement-led escapes.

The article looks at how wellness travel is shifting away from simple indulgence and towards experiences with greater purpose. Within that wider trend, it highlights Pilates as a category gaining real momentum, with Reformer Retreats named as a place to try it across Europe. It notes that “Pilates-led retreats are increasingly popular, with the holistic mind-body exercise nowadays repositioning itself as a longevity practice”, before going on to point to posture, joint health and functional movement as key reasons for that rise. It also describes our retreats as purpose-built experiences that combine structured movement with breathwork, sound healing and restorative therapies.

That speaks closely to what we aim to create through every Reformer Retreats experience. We want each guest to feel supported, challenged and restored in equal measure, with expert Pilates teaching at the centre and a wider retreat setting that helps everything land more deeply. Strength matters, but so does calm, and so does the feeling of leaving with something that lasts beyond the trip itself. Sophie Hatton, founder of Reformer Retreats, says, “It is such a pleasure to see Reformer Retreats featured in this context because it reflects the kind of experience we care about most. We want our retreats to help people move well, feel stronger and step away from everyday pressure in a way that feels beautiful, grounding and genuinely beneficial.”

We are proud to see Reformer Retreats recognised as part of this wider shift in wellness travel and excited about where that momentum is heading next. To learn more about our retreats and upcoming experiences, visit Reformer Retreats.
