The Pilates & Meditation

Anna Evans has taught at Down to Earth since we opened in 2014 and is one of our much loved and popular teachers. Her classes are tough, yet accessible; she pushes her students to their best ability with care and a great sense of humour. Anna’s classes regularly finish with meditation which she practices daily herself. We’ve held 3 sold out Pilates retreats with Anna in the UK and are now venturing abroad for the first time!

The Venue

Our retreat venue is in the Gascony region of Southern France. In its sixteen acres of woods and re-wilded gardens, you’ll find stone buildings lovingly renovated to blend old French charm with modern comforts. It has all you need for a getaway surrounded by peace, nature and a deep sense of community.

The old barn is now a spacious, stunning and fully equipped yoga studio. There are two outdoor swimming pools and a sauna – all with gorgeous panoramic views. Guests stay in a collection of tastefully designed houses which still have many of their original features. Each house has a comfortable lounge, a tranquil terrace and beautiful bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms.

Whether you’re looking to connect with others, or spend time alone, there’s plenty of space to do both in this idyllic corner of the French countryside.

It’s the perfect place for a truly Down to Earth retreat.
