Fantastic experience: Hi I'm Aman Prajapati from India Yoga therapist I have completed my education from India. Is there any vacancy for Indian yoga teacher?

Fantastic experience: It was such a wonderful day. We all gather d in the morning and we’re welcomed to Olives home with open arms and a lovely breakfast spread of fruit, yoghurt, biscuits, tea & coffee. The hall for the Pilates and mindfulness was lovely and warm, with a great view of nature on its doorstep. Olive does an excellent job teaching the correct form and technique and I learnt so much in just a few hours. We then went to a local restaurant for a lunch that would have fed a team of giants, followed by an exhilarating and informative guided walk through the local Moat park. After the walk we returned to Olives for some more Pilates and mindfulness before heading home, exhausted and happy. I had such a good day I’ve signed up for classes with Olive and can’t wait to get started! I highly recommend a retreat with Olive!

Positive experience: I enjoyed the day retreat with Olive in the countryside. There was a very welcoming and fun atmosphere. The Pilates sessions were very well paced and the instructions by Olive were clear. The walk and lunch were lovely and had a very sociable atmosphere. The conclusion of the day with some mindfulness was really lovely. Thanks Olive

Fantastic experience: I spend day in Olive Keyes Pilates resort. I enjoyed talking to nice people. The day nice introduction to Pilates like how postoral alligement is very important. The medication was excellent. The food in Hannons hotel was brillant. Then nice lady called Ellish gave tour of Mote Conservation Park learing about the history and the nature of the Mote Conservation Forest. Then back to studio lovely studio light stretched like hundred. Then left after meditation again feeling engerised and relaxed. Thank you Olive for excellent day.

Fantastic experience: Olive thank you so much for the wonderful day and experience I encountered at the Pilates and Wellness Retreat at Ireland Heartlands Retreats in Lecarrow County Roscommon in April . Sharing this experience with a friend and others whom we met at the retreat was fantastic. Over the years working in an office I had developed a lot of bad postural habits so to start the class with the Pilates postural analysis and correct Pilates breathing was an eye-opener for me. This practice now encourages me daily while working by the computer to correct my posture while sitting for such a long time during the day. My love for walking is now changed for the better by tips given such as ‘engage the pelvic floor & core muscles’ something I was never advised to do before. The classes are so professional motivating me to try new ideas and the encouragement and attention to details is such a great help. Lunchtime arrived and we all headed off to share a lovely lunch together had some fun and shared our experiences from the morning . After lunch we headed to Mote Conservation Forest Park. It was a beautiful mild day. We met with our guides Eilish Feely and Marie Gilhooley. They were fantastic. The knowledge they had of the area made it so interesting for us. They gave details of wild plants and the history of the area as we walked through the forest and chatted along the way. I thoroughly enjoyed that experience and was so refreshed after that beautiful walk. On returning to the Pilates retreat centre in the evening we did gentle stretches and finished off with a guided mindfulness meditation. The whole day left me feeling so nourished and full of welcoming energy. I will definitely be returning. Whether you have done Pilates or not does not matter as this class suits everybody male or female and any age .... all are welcomed. Just to say Olive another thank you for the great online classes I share with you each week. I am such a lucky person to have found you - my life has completely changed since starting Pilates with you. Looking forward to our next class.

Fantastic experience: There were seven participants in the class. We received a warm welcome from Olive in her lovely spacious studio. It is not necessary to have previous Pilate experience as Olive takes us back to basics. We started with Pilates Postural Analysis and correct Pilates breathing. How to engage the pelvic/core muscles and the correct way to stand with posture. Because of a planned walk later in the day we learned to put what we had learned into practice in the studio. This produced lots of laughs as we paced about. Olive provided great individual guidance, motivating and encouraging us in a professional manner. We enjoyed a lovely lunch in Hannon's Hotel which is in close proximity. We were provided with a menu via email from Olive so service was quick and efficient. After our leisurely lunch, we drove to Mote Conservation Forest |Park which was just up the road from the Hotel. Eilish Feely and Marie Gillooley provided an amazing tour. Snippits of history, folklore and interesting facts were shared in beautiful surroundings. We experienced the magic of Fairy Forts, the history of the Crofton Family, and numerous marked trails. A place to revisit in the future. The guided tour is essential so that no stone remains unturned! Back to the Pilates retreat centre for our Restoration Pilates class, followed by some gentle stretching and finishing with guided Mindfulness meditation. What a wonderful way to end an amazing day. I felt rejuvenated and energised as I bid farewell to Olive and the lovely ladies in the group. The day brought a unique experience to me, it surpassed my expectations. I would highly recommend Olive's Wellness Staycation to all age groups. It's a wonderful introduction to Pilates with the additional benefit of an insight to Mindfulness meditation.

Fantastic experience: Spent the most wonderful Pilates retreat day at Olive Keys Irelands Heartlands Retreat. We started the day with a morning session of rejuvenating Pilates, a lovely relaxed lunch followed by an amazing guided walk in Mote Forest Park and finished off our day perfectly with some stretches/relaxation/mindfulness meditation. Olive is an excellent host, offering a very warm homely welcome and we departed with warm sense of serenity

Fantastic experience: I recently met olive when she performed a group pilates session as an activity on my hen weekend. What can I say, the session went down a treat.

Fantastic experience: It was great to finally find a retreat that included pilates and I wasn't disappointed. Olive facilitated a fabulous experience to include pilates, mindfulness, trek and lunch.

Fantastic experience: Had a wonderful day with Olive on the Pilates Mindfulness retreat. Olive was enthusiastic, encouraging and extremely professional. Loved the guided walk in the nearby woods after lunch.A lovely balance between Pilates and relaxation and mindfulness at a fantastic location.

Fantastic experience: Just thinking about our day at the Pilates and Wellness Retreats at Irelands Heartlands Retreats I was at yesterday. We were a group of 3 , 2 had practised Pilates before and 1 hadn't . The day suited us all. The place is easy to find thankfully as we were all traveling from different places . The day started with a gentle session to get your technique right , practising correct Pilates Breathing working the all important pelvic floor , the Core Muscles and general posture . The light hearted yet professional approach was the perfect blend to make the day relaxing and yet I felt like I was learning. The one to one attention was great for correcting /improving technique and also great encouragement when I got it right! We went for lunch to a local hotel which was lovely and great fun. The guided tour in Mote Conservation Forest Park was fantastic , The Tour guides were Eillish& Seamus are so passionate about the park and so knowledgable about the park and conservation. We returned back to Olives wellness centre afterwards and launched into the Restoration Pilates evening class. There was some gentle stretching and we finished with a guided mindfulnes meditation , it was the perfect end to a perfect day. I would recommend this day for people who just want a fun healthy day away from their day to day life and want to learn about Pilates or improve their technique . Would really recommend this
