ABOUT THE PILATES FORUM
We were excited to partner with one of Australia’s top Pilates instructors, Kirsten King from Fluidform Pilates who delivered an extra special, life-changing retreat in August. All the benefits of the Eden program, with the bonus of connecting with Kirsten and being guided by her expertise.
Kirsten experienced immediate personal changes as a result of her stay at Eden and was excited to welcome others to join her for an opportunity to enhance quality of life through Pilates.
Our guests took the opportunity to immerse themselves in nature whilst focusing on aligning body, mind and spirit. Each attendee received a private initial consultation with Kirsten, as well as twice daily group Pilates classes and the full Eden program.
