For a yoga and walking holiday in Europe with a difference, join us on a relaxing activity break at our dedicated retreat centre in the beautiful Lot valley in South-west France. An essentially French holiday break combined with relaxing yoga, leisurely walks, massage therapies and sightseeing. Guests at La Buissière can really unwind in a house party atmosphere staying in comfortable, self-catering accommodation set in 2 acres of private landscaped gardens with a large chlorine-free pool, recliners and hammocks.
You can practice gentle hatha yoga with a caring, experienced yoga teacher; take guided nature walks in unspoilt countryside; treat yourself to a range of holistic therapies; or get to know this fascinating part of France on a sightseeing tour.
Everything is optional, but most visitors find the mix of activities and relaxation just about right. This is not an "intensive" retreat, rather an intimate group holiday where you can connect and share with like-minded people who have yoga in common and where all levels of experience and ability are welcome either as an introduction to yoga, or a wonderful way to keep your practice alive whilst on holiday.
Likewise, the guided walks are to enjoy and not endure and have been carefully selected for their natural beauty or local history rather than being a physical challenge.
It is an alternative activity holiday with the emphasis on healthy fun, adventure and relaxation, and is ideal for couples, friends or singles who would like to retreat from the pressures of everyday life and return home feeling refreshed and ready to start again.
A break at La Buissière is essentially a French experience blended with a passion for yoga and walking. Combined with plenty of relaxation, the integration of yoga and nature helps create a balanced foundation for anyone, irrespective of age, searching for a healthy lifestyle, physically, emotionally and spiritually.
But everything in moderation. You are on holiday after all. Most of our visitors find the mix of gentle yoga, healthy hiking and lounging just about right to help them unwind and feel good, but there is no pressure whatsoever, you can do just as much or as little as you want.
It is ideal for friends or couples who may not share the same interests - they can be selective about which activities they choose to do, individually or together.
Relaxation is usually a priority for visitors to La Buissière. To help you relax and unwind even further our fully qualified masseuses offer various types of massage therapy.
They are the perfect complement to both yoga and walking, helping to alleviate stress, improve body posture and reduce stiffness. Plus, if you really want to spoil yourself why not try one of our beauty treatments.
