Mongoose Bodyworks - Pilates in Soho NYC

What a glamorous group! We had a fun staff meeting recently sharing exercises on the new wunda chair, insights , and personal favorites. I feel fortunate to be working with such a talented gang. Thanks everyone!

Day Four of the Retreat
Another perfect sunny day welcomed us in Andalusia. We began with a revitalizing morning Pilates session, setting the tone with breath, movement, and presence. In the afternoon, we dove into the flavors of Spain with a hands-on paella cooking class—saffron, sunshine, and stories all stirred into the pot.

Day three of our Pilates retreat brought us to the heart of Andalusia—Granada (which means “pomegranate” 🍎). We explored the breathtaking Alhambra, a remarkably preserved Islamic palace and fortress rich with intricate detail and centuries of history. After wandering through its gardens and stone corridors, we enjoyed a delicious lunch with panoramic views of the palace below.
Back at the villa, I led an afternoon Pilates class to unwind and release after a full day on our feet. A refreshing dip in the pool followed, and we ended the day with a beautifully prepared catered dinner at the Villa.
Spain continues to surprise us with its beauty, depth, and rhythm. Another magical day.

Pilates Retreat in Andalusia!
The villa that we called home for 6 nights, was even more beautiful than expected.
Each morning I taught a Pilates class in this sun filled spaced followed by an excursion. The first day we went on an incredible hike along goat paths in the Sierra Nevada mountains and the second day we headed south to the small and beautiful hamlet of La Herradura in the Costa Del Sol. Our time here feels delightfully magical.
