NÉVÉS Private Pilates & Wellness
Private Pilates and body care that comes to your villa, hotel or yacht
Why Go
There is no studio to find in St Barths: NÉVÉS comes to you. A Reformer session at your villa, a mat session at your hotel, movement and breath on board a yacht between swims.
The Experience
NÉVÉS is the practice of Mathilde Rousseau, a physiotherapist and certified Pilates instructor who trained on the Reformer in New York, and she guides every session herself. That background shows in how the work is built. There is no set class. Each session starts from the person in front of her: how they move, what they have brought with them from the flight, and what the rest of the stay looks like. The house shorthand is "Tailored. Mobile. Discreet." Sessions are private, they happen wherever you are staying, and the equipment travels with her, so the setting stays entirely yours.
What to Try
Private Mat Pilates is the simplest way in, on NÉVÉS's signature mats and shaped to your body and your week. Private Reformer Pilates brings the machine to your villa or hotel. Beyond single sessions there are four signature experiences. The Stay Ritual is a three-session programme designed around your stay. The Sunset Signature combines movement, mobility, breath and deep relaxation. The Longevity Experience pairs a tailored practice with hands-on care. Body & Care is given over entirely to hands-on recovery.
Insider Tip
Book before you land. The Stay Ritual is planned around your dates, so it works best arranged before the trip starts rather than squeezed into its last days. If the journey has left you stiff, ask for a recovery-led first session. And mention any injury or niggle when you book: the person reading how you move is a physiotherapist, and the session will be better for knowing.
