Pilates builds core strength, improves posture and flexibility, and is gentle on the joints. Doing it outside adds fresh air, natural light and a horizon instead of a wall. There’s no traffic noise and no phone buzzing in the next room, so the hour feels slower in the best way.
Absolutely. This outdoor Pilates class is a good first class, and the instructor will adjust each exercise to suit. Book a ticket for each person.
No. Marnong Estate is a licensed venue, so outside food and drink can’t be brought onto the estate. Coffee and breakfast are available at Cucina 3064, and Caffè Vista opens on the main lawn at 10am.
Marnong Estate is a working farm, so pets aren’t permitted. Guide dogs and assistance dogs wearing their approved jacket are welcome.
Phone photos are fine. Professional cameras, tripods and drones need a photography permit, arranged through reception.
Entry to Marnong Estate is free. After class you can visit the Cellar Door for a tasting from 10am, grab coffee at Caffè Vista, or walk the grounds. It’s a working farm, so you may spot the camels in the lower paddock and peacocks around the estate.
A typical outdoor Pilates class moves from breath work and a gentle warm-up into a mat-based sequence for the core, hips, back and shoulders, then finishes with a slow stretch. You’ll be guided the whole way, with options to make each exercise easier or harder.
Of course. Plenty of people book solo. You’ll be among a small group, and the shared breakfast table afterwards is an easy way to meet others from the class.
