The Abondance Alpine Retreat
A Pilates Reformer & Yoga Retreat in the French Alps
We are so excited to invite you to the French Alps for a truly special retreat in the beautiful Abondance Valley, nestled within the breathtaking Portes du Soleil region.
Surrounded by mountains, forests and fresh Alpine air, this is a place where nature instantly encourages you to slow down.
And this retreat is going to be a little different…
For the first time ever on one of my retreats, we’ll be able to include Reformer Pilates. Alongside our yoga practices, you’ll have the opportunity to experience Reformer sessions — making this retreat a really exciting blend of movement, adventure, rest and connection.
Designed as a chance to step away from the noise of everyday life, this retreat is about moving your body, exploring the mountains, nourishing yourself and enjoying some much-needed time to switch off.
Wednesday 13th October – Sunday 17th October 2027
