RELAX AND RESET
A yoga retreat in South West France

Cost
If you’ve joined me on a retreat before, you’ll know I like to keep group numbers small to allow for a deeper connection with nature and self.
This gorgeous venue is made of four old stone houses, each with a character of its own and panoramic views of the woods and countryside beyond.
There is one room option for 3 friends to share - if you’d like to book this, message me directly about the cost.

£1,950 *£1,850 early bird offer
Sharing Option
£1,650 *£1,550 early bird offer
Please note that reservations will be confirmed upon receipt of a non-refundable deposit of £350. If you have any questions, you can email me via either button above.
About the venue
Amassa is a tranquil 16-acre sanctuary of woods, fields, and gardens designed to promote deep physical, mental, and spiritual restoration.
With beautifully converted barn studios, two swimming pools, and serene spaces for connection or solitude, it offers the perfect setting to unwind, reflect, and reconnect with yourself and nature.
Location
Mauroux, in the heart of Gascony, is an hour west of Toulouse in the South West of France. I will be arranging airport transfers so you don't have to worry about a thing.

I recently returned from a yoga retreat in Portugal, and it was an unforgettable experience. Jess is an amazing teacher – patient, kind, and incredibly knowledgeable. The yoga sessions were the best I’ve ever attended! The entire retreat was seamlessly planned, and I came home feeling relaxed and refreshed. Honesty it’s a must, highly recommend

I went on my first yoga retreat and I had a wonderful experience thanks to Jessy, who is a beautiful soul, and thanks to all the amazing and inspiring women attending the retreat. The location surrounded by nature was dreamy and the food so delicious. It was the perfect conditions to relax and recharge batteries. I highly recommend!

Jess is an amazing yoga teacher and her classes were energetic and invigorating yet she also combined fabulous teaching to encourage correct positions - with special inversion workshops. Highlights were the class yoga space, outdoor sauna, Jess’s, beautiful playlists, the 9 km guided coastal walk and hiking after yoga in the unspoiled Portuguese countryside awash with spring flowers. A great way to spend 5 days
