Educational getaways- taking Pilates training in interesting places

Looking for ways to integrate your travel experiences for educational training purposes?

Being on a learning journey can get overwhelming at times. You might crave a change of scenery or a break, but a lot of times your schedules might not permit it. This is when the concept of an education getaway can help you break the monotony. Whether you love the peace and austerity of snowcapped mountains or sophisticated cities with great food- we have listed different options for you.

1. Be Pilates, New Zealand

Be Pilates 01

Located in the picturesque vineyard of Hawke’s Bay region, Be Pilates is a Licensed Training Centre offering Merrithew® education. Flooded with natural light and fresh air, wooden flooring, and ample space, the studio has the perfect countryside feel. One of the reasons why you’ll love taking training here is because training courses & workshops are scheduled in the afternoons to allow the mornings off for study or cater to your remote work commitments.

You’ll be able to enjoy a work-life balance and make the most out of your spare time exploring restaurants, local boutiques, cafes, beaches, and vineyard tours.
