Comments from present clients and those who have attended my retreats.

"I got the dvd. I am just watching it through for the first time before trying it out and had to email you - it's brilliant. It's like having you in the room with me. I've tried many Pilates DVDs and teachers since going to your retreat last year and trying Pilates for the first time, but nothing ever seemed quite the same and I've just been reminded why. Nobody has quite lived up to your perfectionist instruction, and I mean that as a compliment! After a very nasty hip flexor injury in January last year and 4 months of pain and limping, your teaching somehow enabled me to stand up on both feet at the same time again - whereas months of physio had failed to do. I'm very much looking forward to working through the dvd. Thanks again!"

"I found out about a Pilates retreat in the Lake District run by Sarah Rosenfield on the internet. I must admit to being slightly nervous at the prospect of spending three days with complete strangers but I had absolutely nothing to worry about. From the first moment I arrived in Lancrigg, I felt at home. Sarah was there to greet us and to lay out the schedule. Day one, I had two Pilates sessions, a wonderful massage from Fleur and a talk by nutritionist Janet Whittington! It was certainly action packed and having totally organic and vegetarian meals served throughout our stay was a real treat! The scenery was stunning, the company excellent and I simply can't wait for the next one!"

Duncan Lingard, London

"As soon as I enter Sarah's class, I feel the stresses and strains melt away from my shoulders and back."

Victoria, Cheshire

"I have a very stressful job which leaves me with severe pain and tension at the end of a working day. I have tried physiotherapy and a variety of alternative treatments but pilates really allows me to let go."

Tricia, Warwickshire

"I went to Majorca on my own and ended up with new friends who I'm regularly in touch with and I'm going back this year."

Linda, South London

"Both Sarah and Juliet have been great - compliment each other well on a personal and professional level. La Serrania is a beautiful house - simple and uncluttered which suits it's purpose."

Elspeth, London

"Sarah’s relaxed and easy style of teaching energises you and works you deeply without even realising it!"

David, London

"Sarah, thank you very much for all your great energy."

Judy, California

"The combination of pilates and massage is really good. The retreat was excellent. Than you both very much."

Amanda, North London

"I am very pleased that I joined and leave this retreat with fond memories, more knowledge towards the pilates exercises and certainly more aware of my body."

Nora, London

"I love your classes and your retreats. You have been so helpful and attentive to my needs."

Annabelle Apsiom, Actress

"I have been going to Pilates classes for nearly 6 years - for at least twice a week and often more, so I consider myself to be an advanced student. However it was very illuminating to go back to basics with Sarah at La Serrania and to really focus on specific areas such as my shoulders and to do some really intensive work.

La Serrania really does deliver exactly what it says in the brochure and I came away with fresh purpose and some wonderful new friends with whom I know I will keep in touch. And last but not least my stomach has never been so flat, and I have never been so healthy - a Pilates Retreat is a fantastic personal investment which I know will pay dividends."
