Clémence, Pilates mat & Reformer instructor in Bordeaux.
With SOULMAT, I wanted to create more than just classes: experiences centered on movement, journey, and connection. The idea is simple: to offer moments where people come as much to move as to feel good, in settings that truly offer a break from the everyday. My practice is based on a signature method that blends the precision of classical Pilates with a more dynamic and engaging approach. Fluid, challenging flows where you strengthen, burn, and sweat, all while maintaining control and alignment.
Through Pilates Reformer retreats, co-created with Mona Retreats, I create moments of respite from the everyday: a few days to slow down, progress, and experience something profound, both physically and through the connections I make. These experiences are designed to reconnect you with yourself, but also with others. Trained at Leaderfit (after obtaining a Professional Qualification Certificate in Fitness Instruction), I have developed a comprehensive background in mat and reformer Pilates (levels 1, 2, and 3), complemented by specializations in prenatal, pathological, senior, and small equipment Pilates.
As the founder of Mona Retreats, Ella accompanies participants throughout their stay to ensure a smooth, peaceful, and perfectly organized experience. Her role is to coordinate all aspects of the retreat: program organization, liaison with the guesthouse, participant follow-up, management of key events, on-site support, and attention to the little details that make the stay enjoyable.
Present before and during the retreat, she ensures a reassuring, supportive, and friendly environment so that everyone can fully enjoy the experience without worrying about logistics. She acts as a liaison between the participants, the on-site team, the Pilates instructors, and the surf instructors, ensuring that each day runs smoothly.
