French Retreat
Escape to Tranquility: A Blissful Healing Retreat in the South of France
We warmly invite you to step away from the demands of daily life and immerse yourself in a rejuvenating experience at our exclusive retreat in the South of France. Join us at Ferme de Candeloup, nestled in the serene foothills of the French Pyrénées, for a healing getaway that promises relaxation, renewal, and connection.
About Ferme de Candeloup
Ferme de Candeloup is a charming 260-year-old Béarnaise farm that has been lovingly restored to provide a stylish, peaceful haven surrounded by stunning natural beauty. Here, you’ll find the perfect environment for rejuvenating both body and mind.
Daily Yoga & Wellness Practices
Each day will begin with a gentle morning session of movement and breathwork, followed by a revitalizing Vinyasa yoga class, and conclude with a slow-flow evening practice. Throughout the retreat, we will explore a variety of yoga techniques, including Pranayama, Yoga Nidra, and meditation, to cultivate deeper relaxation and inner peace. You will also have plenty of free time to unwind by the pool, indulge in some quiet reflection, or explore the picturesque local area at your leisure.
Your Teacher: Mary Freeman
Yoga sessions will be led by the experienced Mary Freeman, a fully qualified Yoga teacher and therapist with over two decades of teaching experience. Mary has been practicing yoga since childhood and brings a playful, explorative approach to her teaching, blending fluidity, mindfulness, and breathwork.
Her expertise spans Ashtanga Vinyasa, Vini Yoga, Yin Yoga, and Buddhist meditation. Mary’s diverse background allows her to tailor each practice to the individual needs of her students. In addition to group classes and retreats, Mary has taught yoga in hospitals, schools, and rehabilitation centres, and works one-on-one with clients using yoga as a therapeutic tool to address physical illness, injury, and emotional trauma.
