Perfect Pyrenees for rest and retreats

The Pyrenees mountains are ideal for deep rest and retreats due to their raw, untouched natural beauty, tranquil atmosphere, and unpretentious, slow-paced environment. Offering a stark contrast to more commercialised ranges, the area features serene valleys, quiet villages. They therefore offer a perfect, secluded, and natural setting for disconnection and healing. 

We discovered this part of France many years ago on a camping trip to France and kept coming back. I now feel so lucky to live here full time and often catch myself feeling quite overwhelmed by the beauty around me, from the stunning mountains, to the birdsong, the deer and the trees, clear rivers and lakes. The light here seems very different from anything I’ve ever known and our house is positioned to receive the warmth of the sun from sunrise to sunset.

We have a rescue dog who often seemed on edge on walks in and around Bristol, where as here, she has a large garden to roam about in as well as many stunning walking tracks direct from our front door. So it feels like her nervous system has done a natural reset. And I think that is what this area can offer those coming on retreat too - a natural nervous system reset. Come and find out more about how you too can reset your nervous system, feel restored and revived through our yoga, mindfulness and nature connection retreats.
