SOUTH WEST FRANCE
Autumn retreat in Gascony
OCTOBER 26TH - NOVEMBER 1 ST 2027
ONLY A FEW ROOMS REMAINING!
EARLY BIRD DISCOUNT BEFORE OCTOBER 26TH 2026!
This will be the perfect holiday for those of you who love Autumn and who love the French countryside!
We’ll be staying at Amassa Place, a beautiful secluded rural hamlet in South West France and designed for wellness retreats and yoga holidays.
Situated in Gascony, often referred to as the Tuscany of France, Amassa sits in sixteen acres of woods, rewilded meadows and flowering gardens, with stunning views over rolling countryside, hilltop villages and distant views to the horizon.
The houses have been restored preserving their unique character and old French charm, blended with modern comforts and stylishly curated with locally sourced vintage finds.
YOGA INDOORS IN A STUNNING CONVERTED BARN
Join us in our delightful spacious indoor yoga space. A truly gorgeous place that will certainly make you smile! With underfloor heating it’ll keep us cosy as the temperatures drop a little so that you can totally relax into your yoga practice!
Each class is carefully planned to be mixed ability, ensuring that every practitioner can participate fully. Additionally, as senior yoga therapists, Chantal and Gareth are dedicated to adapting and modifying the practices to suit your individual needs and preferences.
EXPLORING THE SURROUNDING AREA
We’ll explore the local surroundings on foot or if you can brave the hills you can borrow one of the bicycles!
If you’re an early riser and runner you are more than welcome to join Chantal on her pre-yoga class run. Expect a slow, relaxed pace with all those hills!
Also on one of the days we’ll take a transfer to a section of the Chemin de Saint Jacques de Compostelle (Via Podiensis). Enjoy walking part of this world-famous ancient pilgrimage route, through wood and meadow, until the old town of La Romieu. The hike is about 2.5 hours in total which by this time we’ll be hungry so we’ll stop for our picnic lunch! We’ll return in time for a rest before our evening yoga practice.
On Friday morning we’ll take our transfer (or walk if you prefer!) to the neighbouring Roman town of Lectoure to explore the local market. We’ll be back at Amassa for lunch.
THE FOOD
Our exclusive retreat chef will delight us with a variety of delicious plant based meals.. Each day, after our yoga sessions, we will gather as a group to relish in wholesome breakfasts, flavourful lunches, and satisfying dinners. If you fancy a glass of wine or a beer in the evening that’s absolutely fine!
