Find your peace....

Little French Retreat is a retreat venue with a difference.

A warm and welcoming country home in a rural corner of Gascony, France, we offer authentic and intimate retreat experiences for small groups.

The combination of tranquil surroundings, nourishing home cooked food and daily yoga classes enable guests to slow down and let go of any ideas or habits that may be limiting their wellbeing.

We accommodate a maximum of six guests at any one time, so that the experience never feels hurried or crowded and we have time to give each guest the care and attention they need.

Our retreats encourage guests to reset their course and give them the tools to carry those changes forward into their lives.

Psychologies Magazine: retreats to help you plan your life

A life coaching retreat is ideal if you are at a crossroads. You may be setting up your own business, dealing with a big change, such as divorce, relocation or a new job, or you might just have a niggling feeling that your life isn’t quite right. They can help you work on a specific issue, such as courage or time management, or work out what is truly important to you
Daily Mail: This was the life change I desperately needed

Owning our story is not always easy and yet it makes us who we are. Thanks to the Daily Mail and journalist Sam Brick for writing such a beautiful account of the reason I began yoga, the source of inspiration for LFR and how, I now do what I love everyday

Come for retreats dedicated to beginners’ yoga, seasonal Ayurvedic cleansing, women’s rest, or yoga and walking. The latter mixes restorative sivananda yoga, which is accessible to anyone with a few months’ yoga practice, tasty vegetarian meals, inspired by Ayurvedic principles, such as tofu coconut masala and meditative walking through the surrounding vineyards and oak woodland.

“In order to change ourselves we cannot glide through the world comfortably. As each breath has an arising and passing, a birth and a death so we must learn to accept getting lost and being swallowed by our experiences in order to grow. Much humility and patience are required once on The Path” . Change that you have not chosen can be difficult to accept, but allowing room to breath through it, letting go of the need to control and cling, makes transition a smoother ride with less suffering. Have faith that there are lessons to learn in times of discomfort that will give you strength and deeper empathy in the future • • #personaljourney #findyourpeace #unravelling #focus #yogalife #change #transition #movement #everythingisasitsmeanttobe #retreat #spiritualpath #perspective #allyouneedislove #peace
