The FIT 66 Pilates retreat is based in the heart of The Pyrénées-Orientales, Southern France. Pilates, stretch & relaxation as well as energy pilates are on offer alongside delicious vegetarian food, wine tasting and the chance to utterly relax.
The retreat weekend is neither fasting or chanting and more about creating a restorative weekend break which mixes movement, mindfulness and a little wine if you wish!
