Absolute well-being for business

Some my friends may have noticed my page Absolute Yoga and Pilates Poros Greece has been missing/deactivated while I worked on a technicality regarding our retreats in Greece. I am now delighted to announce we have the green light to continue building our beautiful community of classes on the stunning island of Poros. I can't wait to return in September to soak up the sun, breathe, relax, stretch and laugh with our wonderful yoga and Pilates students. I'm feeling blessed and relieved with the outcome.
We only have 3 rooms left for May 2025 so if you would like to join us, get in touch and book now. Follow this link to lots more information:

Greek island retreats Yoga and Pilates retreats in Poros Greece ​Our retreats for 2024, on the beautiful island of Poros Greece are now completely sold out! We are therefore delighted to share with you our dates...

Celebrate international women's day with Absolute Yoga and Pilates, lead and driven totally by women.

We started 10 years ago when Pauline (business owner and company director) was made redundant for the 2nd time from a corporate job in London. Taking a year out to re-train and gain Level 3 qualifications in Pilates and complete a 500 hour yoga diploma, the business was launched in 2014. It has since then grown to include other amazing women, Wendy Allen forma client and now teaching Pilates for the business, and Adriana and Charlotte Ward, daughters of Pauline. Their qualifications include yoga, Pilates, sound healing and massage therapy. The business has continued to grow and thrive against the odds, surviving the difficult pandemic years. We now spend each and every day feeling empowered and blessed to do a job we love in the heart of our community.

Wishing everyone who reads this, Happy International Women's Day.

If you would like to join one of our regular face to face classes, a workshop or even a retreat, get in touch. We would love to hear from you.

It's December!!! How did that happen? I can't believe we are almost at the end of another year. The exciting news is, in 2024 Absolute Yoga and Pilates will celebrate it's 10th anniversary and what an amazing 10 years we have had. I started the business solo, teaching up to 22 classes per week. Adriana was 16 and about to start college and Charlotte was just 14 when the business began. Look at them now, amazing, talented and experienced yoga and Pilates teachers. Wendy joined the teaching team 8 years ago and we haven't looked back. If you are interested in Wendy's story, it's an amazing heart felt read; "What a difference a year makes".

The exciting news is, in 2024 Absolute Yoga and Pilates will celebrate it's 10th anniversary and what an amazing 10 years we have had. I started the business solo, teaching up to 22 classes per week....

I have had the absolute pleasure to teach every class on the timetable last week! Adriana was away on a yin yoga teachers training course, Wendy was enjoying a hiking holiday (and completed the 3 peaks) and Charlotte has left to work in the French Alps as a chalet manager for the ski season. That left just me! I have loved teaching, seeing everyone face to face, and have been blown away with your enthusiasm and fabulous technique. You have amazing teachers and I can see you have been taught well, I couldn't be prouder. Keep up the good work, your body will thank you.

This Friday is the last Quartz Crystal Singing Bowl Sound Healing Evening for 2023. If you would like to join us, please get in touch. You do not need any yoga experience, complete beginners will love this class and evening.

I'm not sure if it's the digital world we live in or the universe is trying to send a message! I keep seeing 1111, so much so, I have researched the meaning. This is what I found:

"Your only job is to trust yourself and the universe, celebrate the beauty of being alive and protected, and keep going!"

"Simply the message of 1111 is to be the best human you can possibly be. Remember you can make a positive difference in the lives of many or change the world for just one person."

"Seeing 11 11 is the trigger to set you on your path to make your mark in this existence. The world is grateful to have you."

Considering these meanings, it seems fortuitous that our next Super Saturday wellness day is on the 11th of November. We would love you to join us for this special day.

I have to tell you about my Charlottes class experience!
Oh my goodness it was a total dream
I love the can can legs/move it's one of my faves and rolling like a ball.

And enjoyed it.

We packed everything we could into one amazing week. Yoga, Pilates, trekking, cycling, boat trips, fabulous food, a cocktail (or 2) and bundles of laughter.

In the words of our guests:
Donna said: "I've loved every minute of my trip, from the travel, exercise, excursions and spending time with gorgeous people. I'll miss you once I'm home".
Lorraine said: "Thank you for a lovely week with some special memories".
Lynda said: I had a wonderful relaxing holiday. Thank you to all and hope to come again in September 2024".
Gail said: It has been a wonderful week. Thank you for the wonderful company.
Alison said: "I'm very much missing my early morning coffee on my balcony watching the sun rise . . . "
Zdenka said: "Ladies and Keith, you have been epic! Thank you for being you, I loved meeting each and every one of you in this place and at this time. May we all take an uplifting and energised feeling back with us and nurture it to keep going."
And Keith my co-host and husband said: "Really enjoyed the week and fell in love with you all".

For me, I feel so blessed to meet wonderful people and to teach yoga and Pilates in such an idyllic setting. We now have 7 years of memories and friendships to treasure. All our guests this year were solo travellers who didn't know each other before meeting in Poros. Within the first few minutes, friendships formed and the joy and laughter began.

If you would like to fall in love with Poros and join one of our retreats in 2024, get in touch. Dates and more information at the bottom of this email.
