TARU Retreats

Empower your body

Calm your mind

About TARU Retreats

TARU Retreats take place annually in South Devon and Spain, in carefully chosen locations that bring us close to nature and away from the intensity of everyday life.

Our ethos is simple: “Empower your body. Calm your mind.” This is exactly what our retreats are designed to do.

  • Daily Pilates classes, taught by fully qualified and experienced teachers, tailored to meet you wherever you are on your Pilates journey.

  • Time to slow down, relax, and reconnect with nature.

  • Delicious, seasonal, and nourishing meals.

  • Welcoming, open and friendly atmosphere.

Each TARU Retreat is crafted to leave you feeling stronger, calmer, and re-energised - ready to return home with a renewed sense of balance and wellbeing.
