Mallorca Pilates time-out: body and mind in balance

Pilates strengthens the muscles, improves body awareness and gets our energy systems going. In the Mediterranean atmosphere of Finca Son Manera, we strengthen our back muscles, joints and core with precise exercises. Deep awareness is created.

Picturesquely situated on a gentle hill in the heart of Mallorca, our finca is the ideal place to linger and reflect on the important things in life. An oasis of tranquillity surrounded by olive groves and fig trees with a variety of recreational opportunities. Relax by the pool, on a walk through the garden or in our spacious spa with indoor pool, saunas and massage offers.

We pamper your palate with vegetarian-vegan full board. Enjoy a feel-good breakfast with Sonnentor tea, coffee, fruit juices, fruit, regional cheeses, seasonal vegetables, homemade jams, muesli, porridge, home-baked bread and much more until 11 am. In the late afternoon, you can fortify yourself with freshly prepared soups and salads before being invited to a buffet with vegetarian and vegan specialties in the evening.

Pilates is a gentle and precise method that strengthens your deep skeletal muscles, promotes flexibility and refines your body awareness. The exercises focus particularly on the center of the body - the Pilates powerhouse. Individual muscles and muscle groups are specifically activated, relaxed and stretched.

Pilates gets your muscles and joints moving without straining them. Special attention is paid to the correct execution of the physical exercises - it is not the quantity but the quality of the exercises that is decisive.

The exercises are suitable for beginners and experienced practitioners, are performed in the back, abdominal, sitting, standing or quadruped position and conclude with a final relaxation or meditation.

Pilates training comprises 7 basic principles:
1. breathing
2. concentration
3. control of the movements
4. centering
5. flow of movement
6. precision
7. imagination

In addition to the physical strengthening, Pilates brings with it a refinement of perception and deep awareness.
The sessions take place in the morning and late afternoon, in between you have time to enjoy the finca at this particularly quiet and mystical time of year - with a good book, in the SPA with indoor pool and sauna or on a walk.
