SOLD OUT
april 7 – april 13, 2025
Golf is a sport that requires physical strength, flexibility, and mental sharpness. Practicing Pilates helps golfers take their game to the next level. A powerful, smooth, and controlled swing demands a strong core, flexibility, balance, and coordination. Pilates instructor Tatjana Plotnikova combines physical exercises with techniques for focus and breathing. This helps golfers improve their concentration and stay calm under pressure, both during practice and competition. During this Pilates & Golf week, the focus is on a personalized approach. By the end of the week, your game is guaranteed to have improved.
Tatjana Plotnikova
Tatjana Plotnikova is the founder of Pilates studio Bodyvita in Amsterdam and has years of experience in high-performance sports. Not only was she a national synchronized swimmer in both Georgia and the Netherlands, but she also trained top athletes and coached performers from Cirque du Soleil. After taking up golf herself, she discovered how Pilates can help improve golfing performance. Now, she shares her experience and knowledge with golfers. ,,I promise you that after one week you will notice the difference.”
The Retreat
The serene surroundings of Quinta do Pinheiro, nestled among a vineyard and an avocado plantation, provide the perfect setting to work with focus on physical and mental blockages. In addition to group training sessions, each participant receives a personal swing analysis (using video) at the start of the week, followed by a tailored individual program. Each day you’ll begin with a delicious, healthy breakfast, and a Portuguese chef will introduce you to local ingredients and dishes during dinner. To ensure each participant receives maximum attention and personal guidance, this course is limited to a maximum of six participants. The course is suitable for both beginners and advanced players.
