Please come and join us at La Perdrix, in the beautiful Dordogne area of the south-west France, from July 5th to 11th (Sunday 5pm to Saturday 10 am), for a yoga holiday, full of fun and activities. You’ll practice yoga, meditation and Breathwork but you’ll also have the opportunity to go swimming in a local river, kayak on a lake, walk around the local weekly market, under the expert guidance of the amazing Ingrid. And you will also enjoy Johnny´s plant-based & vegetarian food!
This year, the focus in the yoga sessions will be to regain or improve vitality. We’ll also explore how to connect with our innate wisdom to bring deeper inner balance and relaxation.
At the end of the week, you’ll be motivated to continue your yoga practice 😉

What’s really brilliant is that Veronique gives a whole range of potential ways to engage with the pose, whatever level you are at. She is hugely encouraging. (Cath R.)
I´ve been here 13 times. This place is magical. A lot always happens around the table, sitting hours on end, eating and getting to know each other… and the weather is usually amazing. (Catherine F.)

The location
La Perdrix is a gated private property on the edge of the village of St Martin de Riberac in the beautiful Dordogne area of south west France. Originally built as a 13th Century Monastery, the property has undergone many transformations over the centuries but has maintained much of it’s original features and historic charm.
Ingrid and Jonny have trawled the local brocantes and markets to find the furniture and art that best compliment the style and character of the property. The garden is rambling. It’s an ideal place to swing in a hammock listening to the birdsong, or watch the night sky from the swimming pool. La Perdrix isn’t grand , it’s a little ramshackle but it’s rustic and true.

The nearest airport is Bergerac airport which is a 45 min drive from the property this airport uses Ryanair which flies from Bristol, London, Liverpool, East Midlands and Flybe carriers and has good connections throughout Europe, it is a small airport and therefore pleasant and speedy to travel through.
