Next June,  join us for a week away in Beynac,  a village in southwestern France along the River Dordogne, with Lila Heller. This week you will move well, eat well and be well. This week is what dreams are made of.  We will play, relax, connect with the land, each other and ourselves.  Enjoy yoga, Pilates, Breathwork and Lila's unique blend of neurology and movement. Let's delve into Joy and experience childlike wonder. Experience the beauty that exists all around us and within us.

The Dordogne is blessed in so many ways. From the region’s esteemed vineyards to its medieval castles; a rich literary heritage to the Palaeolithicpower of Lascaux (and many other) prehistoric caves, this is a region where, once you’ve nourished body and mind, you’ll find many more ways to feed heart and soul.

If you’d prefer to complement the peace and serenity of your movement retreat with a little more adrenaline, you can do that too. From kayaking to hot air ballooning and even surfing, you’ll find plenty of adventure close by.

Chateau de Bardouly is located outside the city of Bergerac in the Dordogne Region of Southwestern France.  Bergerac lies between the larger cities of Bordeaux and Toulouse.  The area is renowned for its distinctive history, world-class vineyards and picturesque countryside.  Bardouly is the perfect home base to easily explore the Dordogne.

Staying full-board in a luxurious French chateau with home comforts including private heated outdoor saltwater swimming pool, indoor yoga studio (fully equipped), tennis court, library, outdoor yoga deck and Zen garden. Vegetarian/Vegan based menu.

This will be an intimate retreat. There will be plenty of time for group activities and solo time as well. Time to explore the countryside and nearby cities, towns and time to enjoy the grounds. We can't wait to spend this week with you!
