MEET YOUR RETREAT HOSTS
Hannah Rivron
Marta Safin
Hannah’s passion for Pilates was born out of a twenty year career travelling the world as a professional dancer. Experiencing the benefits of Pilates first hand in both an injury prevention and rehabilitation capacity inspired her to train as an instructor with BASI (Body Arts and Science International) in London.
Though she still dips her toes into the dance world from time to time, Hannah is now based permanently in Portugal, having found a wonderful Pilates community in the Algarve. Alongside her interest in all things food and wine, she is also a proud parent to Baci, her Portuguese rescue dog.
Hannah’s teaching style is fun but disciplined; she likes to sneak in a few extra repetitions here and there to keep you on your toes!
Expect to work hard, feel muscles you’d forgotten about and connect with your core…all with a smile on your face!
Marta started her journey with yoga as an antidote to her active lifestyle and back injuries. As a keen surfer, she uses yoga to strengthen and restore her body after spending time in the ocean. She is a certified yin yoga instructor and a wine aficionado, proudly holding a WSET Level 2 Award in Wine with distinction.
Having spent years working as a lawyer and a senior marketing leader, Marta moved to Portugal in search of a more balanced life and proximity to the ocean.
Marta will guide you through soul-soothing yoga sessions, offering a space to unwind, rejuvenate, and simply be present.
And don't forget to raise a glass with her, as our resident wine whisperer, she will share her infectious enthusiasm and expertise through curating delicious tastings and pairings, giving you a flavour of the magic of Portuguese winemaking.
