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.

Change can feel daunting, unsupported and like a long road ahead of us. One that we are going to need to muster up a whole load of strength to deal with. So we put off what we want to change and keep the daily conversation in our head that TOMORROW we will begin • But what if change could be gentle, a quiet reconnection and a moment to hear what's going on and for that not to be quite a scary as you think? • On the Yoga and Mindful Walking retreat, I guide guests to begin to look at how we use and expand our energy. Slowing the mind, moving the body both on the mat and in nature, to arrive at a place where we can listen and be heard • The daily practices begin to set the foundations for change that are wholesome, supported and start the process • We move mentally from being in a place where we have ‘no time’ to take care of ourselves, to creating a steady daily practice that expands time and enables clarity in our lives to move forward with energy • If you would like to join me and discover more, there are spaces on the next Yoga and Mindful Walking from 11 - 15 October - I have put the details details in the link • • #meditation #yogaretreat #thisbeautifullife #endlesspossibilitie #yogaandwalking #wintersun #raiseyourvibration #clarity #focus #energyboost #positive thinking #cornersofmyhome #instayoga #dailypractice #onebreathatatime #sivanandayoga #stillness #aquietplace #aquietstyle #begentlewithyourself 📷@jothornephotography
The smell of coriander from the stall was too good not to buy a basketful of fresh herbs from the Sunday market. All local produce grown at small farms around Agen • • #buylocal #naturalfood #organic #farmersmarket #sundaymorning #naturalingredients
Simplicity was my word for this year’s focus. An intention to create change, declutter and rearrange. Several months on and everything’s the same but feels completely different. The beginning of change requires a complete overhall of all aspects of life. To create space for newness means letting go of everything that doesn’t serve you in life. And that includes going through all the cupboards and dead corners where things get left and hold energy✨ • • #cleanse #letgo #energyclearing #minimalistic #simplify #declutter #raiseyourvibration #clarity #focus #organise #themeaningofthings #objects #cornersofmyhome #mytinyatlas #stillness #lifelaundry #headspace #change #vintage #backgammonset #interiors #home #spaceclearing #sacredspaces #homedecor #frenchlife #yogalife #everythingisenergy #ikea
I am studying to become an Ayurvedic lifestyle consultant. A passion I’ve had for a while that the the more I learn about, the more sense it makes to me as a system to support health looking at human nature as mind, body and spirit. Without the right foods and herbs the body is not supple, without the right approach and outlook the mind will be closed, without a steady Yoga practice the body will not evolve and mind unite. Bring all three into balance according to your dosha or nature and you return to yourself or innate being. Connected and in harmony to life a peaceful life 🙏🏻❤️ • • #ayurveda #yesplease #findyourpeace #yogalife #onebreatheatatime #selfhealing #balance #wellbeing #optimumhealth #naturalmedicine #foodmedicine #inspiredbynature #innerjourney #followyourbliss #sadhana #sivananda #cornersofmyhome
