Meghan Markle’s UK return has reportedly brought back a familiar wellness routine from her pre-royal years. The Duchess of Sussex has largely stayed out of the spotlight since relocating to Britain. However, recent reports indicate that she has become a regular attendee at local Pilates sessions in Oxfordshire.
Meghan has reportedly become a regular at the Oxfordshire club’s Wellness Barn
The Royal Observer claimed Meghan has been attending Reformer Pilates classes at the Wellness Barn inside SOHO Farmhouse in Great Tew. The exclusive club is reportedly where the Duchess has been spending time as she settles into her new routine.
The Sun reported that Meghan uses the classes to “unwind” while also making new friends. A source claimed she “absolutely” loves the sessions and has been “chatty and polite” with fellow members. The insider added that people at the club generally give her plenty of space.
The reported routine is nothing new for Meghan. Before stepping away from royal duties, she regularly attended Pilates classes at Heartcore in London. She has also spoken publicly about the benefits of Megaformer Pilates. Meghan previously told Hello!, “Your body changes immediately… give it two classes, and you will see a difference.”
Her passion for fitness stretches back even further. In a 2016 interview, Meghan revealed she began practicing yoga as a child with her mother, Doria Ragland, a yoga instructor. She said the practice became a regular part of her life during college and remained one of her favorite forms of exercise.
The report also noted that Meghan reportedly had a yoga studio installed at Frogmore Cottage before she and Prince Harry stepped down as working royals in 2020. Outside the wellness club, Meghan has also been spotted in Britain. She was recently seen dining with Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi. Her friend Kelly McKee Zajfen has also shared glimpses of the Duchess spending time with loved ones and eating fish and chips.
