Ruth Tongue

Portugal Pilates Retreat

5 night retreat, 1st – 6th July 2026

Casas Na Ferraria, Portugal 

This July, Pilates teacher of 15 years Ruth Tongue invites you to an immersive Pilates retreat at the serene Casas Na Ferrarias, nestled in the sun-drenched hills just 40 minutes south of Lisbon. Rooted in four generations of family stewardship, Casas na Ferraria has evolved from a historic farm into a serene hideaway. Set within 130 hectares of protected land, the estate embodies the harmony of nature, architecture, and quiet luxury. 

Designed to restore, strengthen, and inspire, this carefully curated retreat blends revitalising twice daily Pilates sessions with nourishing food, quiet moments of reflection, and the unhurried beauty of rural Portugal. Whether you’re keen to master your Pilates practice or just fancy a well-earned restful break with inspiring women, Ruth’s retreats allow you to unwind, recharge, and enjoy every moment.
