About the weekend
A weekend away with your friends doing Pilates and reconnecting with nature? We can't imagine anything better!
This year at our 6th annual event, we welcome back the OG, Veronica from Surrey Pilates, and the wonderful Lauren Brandt from Balanced Body in Victoria Pilates. Together, these two seasoned instructors will host 4 classes over the course of the weekend.
Not only will you get to unplug in this remote setting only minutes away from Greater Vancouver, but you will get to learn some new skills from some of British Columbia's best teachers, make some new friends and just be yourself for a couple of days away from it all.
