PILATES & MINDFULNESS

Outdoor Pilates and Mindfulness classes in Playa de Santiago. The little village is situated on the south coast of La Gomera, one of the smallest Canary Islands.
The ever-changing exuberant landscapes and the warm climate on "La Isla Mágica" make Playa de Santiago the perfect place to strengthen your body and balance your mind.

PILATES

Join me for outdoor Pilates classes on Tuesdays and Saturdays in beautiful Playa de Santiago! Whether you’re visiting for a week, staying for a longer period, or living here permanently, you can enjoy my full-body workouts.
Exercising outdoors, surrounded by the stunning scenery of La Gomera, makes for a truly unique Pilates experience.
​
The exercises we do are from the classic Pilates mat repertoire, as well as other bodyweight exercises. The 8 principles of Pilates – awareness, balance, breath, concentration, center (core), control, precision, and flow – are applied to every exercise.​

On Thursdays at 9am there is a 30 minutes Abdominal workout. Your core will be challenged with different exercises like the hundred, roll-up, (side) plank, double leg stretch, criss-cross, supine spine twist, hamstring pull and many more.

MINDFULNESS
stress, chronic pain, general well-being
Mindfulness is the gentle effort to be fully present, aware of our feelings, thoughts and bodily sensations and not overly reactive or overwhelmed by what’s going on around us. It involves different meditations (e.g. breathing, bodyscan, mindful movement, loving-kindness) and theory that underpins the meditations. It is an evidence-based approach to reducing stress and pain and promoting well-being.

ABOUT ME
I am Mayke , in Spain called Micky, from The Netherlands, now living on La Gomera. Most of my life I lived in Amsterdam, but some time ago I longed to live in a place where it is warmer, where you feel close to nature and a bit away from busy Dutch life. I visited La Gomera for the first time 13 years ago. The island stole my heart and I imagined to live on this magic island. Well...that's what I do now. Enjoying sun, sea, forest, mountains and a laidback atmosphere.
