The Newcastle neighbourhood edit Monkseaton
Pilates in Monkseaton.
Monkseaton offers a village-scale Pilates routine within reach of the coast: local teaching first, then an old railway path or the longer pull towards Whitley Bay and the North Sea.
The neighbourhood note
A local dispatch for making the class part of the day, rather than the whole of it.
Before and after class
The quieter coastal edit starts inland.
Pilates at the Coast makes Monkseaton a local rather than destination proposition. The pleasure is being able to build regular practice into the week while keeping the coast close enough to change the shape of a free morning.
The disused railway route north of the village has become a walking and cycling path, while Whitley Bay's beach and promenade sit further east. Choose the green line when time is short and the sea when it is not.
The local ritual
3 stops, one considered Monkseaton morning.
A short edit for adding coffee, fresh air or a little local character to the class booking.
