We're so excited to welcome Joyce to our France Move Free Retreat this October.

Just a few months ago, Joyce had a hip replacement. This retreat isn't just a vacation for Joyce—it's a chance to show herself that she can still travel and continue building a life filled with strength, confidence, and possibility.

When we look at the women joining us in France, we can't help but smile.

Each has her own story. Each is strong in her own way. And while their journeys are different, they all have something in common: they're choosing to be intentional about this next chapter of life.

They're prioritizing their health, creating consistent movement habits, and investing in the strength and mobility that will allow them to keep doing the things they love.

That's what makes this retreat so special.

Together we'll spend six days on the Arcachon Bay in Southwest France, staying in a beautifully restored beachfront villa where the garden gates open directly onto the sea.

We'll enjoy twice-daily movement classes, private coaching sessions, nourishing meals prepared by a private chef, local excursions, w**e tasting, massage, and plenty of time to slow down and simply breathe. Plus a little pool, sauna, or beach time.

The Arcachon Bay is renowned for its healing ocean air and calming effect on the nervous system. It's the perfect place to reconnect with yourself while building the strength, confidence, and healthy habits you'll carry home with you long after the retreat ends.

If you're in a season of life where you're ready to invest in yourself, know that you're not alone. This remarkable community of women is proof that it's never too late to begin a new chapter.

We have just ONE spot remaining for our coastal France retreat: one bed in a shared ensuite room—October 2-7, 2026.

If you're curious whether France is the right fit for you, book a discovery call with Jessica. We'd love to explore it together: https://calendly.com/pilatesdefined/discovery-call

We're so excited to welcome Betty to her very first Move Free Retreat this October in France.

This year, Betty decided to celebrate her birthday a little differently.

She's giving herself something far more meaningful than a traditional birthday celebration: six days to slow down, recharge, and celebrate herself.

Like so many women, Betty spends much of her time taking care of everyone else. This birthday, she's choosing to turn some of that care inward.

What better place to do it than a quiet seaside town on the Arcachon Bay in Southwest France?

Together we'll enjoy:

➡️A beautifully restored beachfront villa where the garden gates open directly onto the sea
➡️Twice-daily movement classes and private coaching sessions
➡️Nourishing French meals prepared by a private chef with local ingredients
➡️Local excursions, Bordeaux w**e tasting, massage, and plenty of time to simply be

The best gift isn't always something you can wrap. Sometimes it's giving yourself the time and space to feel rested, strong, and fully present.

We're so happy Betty chose to celebrate this birthday with us.

If you've been waiting for the "right time" to do something for yourself, maybe your celebration doesn't need to wait for a milestone.

We have just ONE spot remaining for our coastal France retreat: one bed in a shared ensuite room—October 2-7, 2026.

We're so excited to welcome Anne back for her 5th Move Free Retreat as she joins us in France this October.

When Anne told her family she was considering another retreat, their response was simple: "Why wouldn't you go?"

After five retreats, Anne already knows the value of saying yes.

She knows what happens when you step away from everyday responsibilities and give yourself the space and time to focus on your health and well-being.

She knows the power of being surrounded by a supportive community and the transformation that can happen when your body and nervous system finally have a chance to rest.

That's why each retreat becomes an easy yes.

This October, we'll gather on the shores of the Arcachon Bay in southwest France and enjoy:

➡️A beachfront villa where the garden gates open right onto the sea
➡️A natural ecological pool, sauna, and cozy library
➡️A private chef preparing nourishing French meals with local ingredients
➡️Twice-daily movement classes, local excursions, w**e tasting, and massage

Arcachon Bay is renowned for its healing ocean air and calming effect on the nervous system. It's the perfect place to slow down, breathe deeply, reconnect with yourself, and return home feeling stronger, well-rested, and more like yourself again.

Anne already knows what awaits her.

If you've been wondering whether a retreat is worth it, maybe Anne's family's question is worth considering:

Why wouldn't you go?

We're so excited to welcome Mary Lou and Karen to our France Move Free Retreat this October.

These friends are joining us for their very first retreat, and we love that they're saying yes to this adventure together.

Many women dream of traveling abroad and having meaningful experiences, but don't want to navigate a new country on their own. They want the freedom of adventure along with the comfort of knowing they're supported, connected, and safe every step of the way.

That's exactly what makes our Move Free Retreat community so special.

You arrive as strangers, but it doesn't take long before shared meals turn into friendships, and everyone feels like they're traveling with a group of friends. There's comfort in knowing that every detail has been thoughtfully planned, allowing you to relax, be present, and fully enjoy the experience.

This October, we'll gather on the beautiful Arcachon Bay in the Bordeaux region of Southwest France and enjoy:

✨A beachfront villa where the garden gates open right onto the sea
✨A natural ecological pool, sauna, and cozy library
✨A private chef preparing nourishing French meals with local ingredients
✨Twice-daily movement classes, local excursions, w**e tasting, and massage

There's something powerful about exploring the world alongside a community of women who are choosing to prioritize themselves and their health and well-being.

We're so happy Mary Lou and Karen are joining us for their first retreat, and we can't wait for them to experience the connection, support, and memories that make these retreats so special.

We have just ONE spot remaining for our coastal France retreat: one bed in a shared ensuite room—October 2-7, 2026.

We're so excited to welcome Meg to our France Move Free Retreat this October.

This will be Meg's very first retreat with us. She's been talking about joining a retreat for years and finally decided it was time to say yes.

Recently retired after a demanding corporate career, Meg is focusing on something many of us put off for far too long: herself. She's working on restoring strength in her body, rebuilding healthy habits, and stepping into this next chapter with intention.

That's exactly what this retreat is designed to support.

Imagine spending six days enjoying:

✨A quiet seaside town in the southwest of France
✨A beachfront villa where the garden gates open right onto the sea
✨A natural ecological pool, sauna, and cozy library
✨A private chef preparing nourishing French meals with local ingredients
✨Twice-daily movement classes, local excursions, w**e tasting, and massage

Arcachon Bay is renowned for its healing ocean air and calming effect on the nervous system. It's the kind of place that helps you slow down, breathe deeper, and reconnect with yourself.

We're so happy Meg finally pulled the trigger and said yes.

If you've been thinking about a retreat for a while, maybe this is your sign.

We're so excited to welcome Louise to our France Move Free Retreat this October.

What's especially meaningful about this one is that Louise was one of the very first clients at Pilates Defined. We've known her for 17 years, and after all this time, this will be her very first retreat with us.

Like many people, Louise has been working to reset her healthy habits and get back to a consistent movement practice. Instead of trying to do it all on her own, she's giving herself something many of us need: dedicated time and space to focus on ourselves.

And coastal France is the perfect place to begin.

Imagine waking up in a beautifully restored beachfront villa where the garden gates open directly onto the sea—starting your day with movement overlooking Arcachon Bay, enjoying nourishing meals prepared by a private chef, exploring the bay by boat, and sipping Bordeaux w**es right where they're made.

Each day includes twice-daily movement classes designed to help you build strength, stability, and mobility, along with private coaching sessions to support your individual goals and help you get the most from your retreat experience.

Arcachon Bay is renowned for its healing ocean air and soothing effects on the respiratory system. Combined with the rhythm of the tides, it creates an environment where your breath deepens, your nervous system settles, and your body can finally relax.

We're honored that Louise chose our France retreat as the place to kick off this next chapter.

And if you've been waiting for the right time to prioritize yourself, perhaps this is your invitation, too.

We have just ONE spot remaining for our coastal France retreat: one bed in a shared ensuite room—October 2-7, 2026.

29/06/2026

After 4 years of hosting 5-day International Retreats, I have realized that one of the biggest reasons women hesitate to say yes to a retreat has nothing to do with money. Or time. Or even travel.

They feel like they are leaving people behind.

It could be a spouse, a partner, children, parents, co-workers, friends, pets. You name it, all the people and things that they are responsible for.

And as women, this makes perfect sense. We are natural caretakers. It is in our biology. One of our greatest strengths is anticipating needs, holding things together, and doing it all.
Somewhere along the way, you might have actually started believing that caring for yourself will take away from the care you give to others.

In fact, the opposite is true. You know the line, “put on your own oxygen mask before others”. But are you really listening to the message? Are you able to actually do that?
It might not come as a surprise to you, but taking care of my body is absolutely top of mind every day. And I’m not talking about after I take care of my family. And I love them more than anything. But I know that when I am disconnected from my body or overwhelmed by responsibilities, everyone in my house feels it.

When you are grounded, energized, clear, and connected to yourself, everyone benefits from that.

You're not coming to France on retreat because you’re abandoning your life. You’re coming on retreat because you’re returning to it.

In the words of Joseph Pilates, “Moreover, such a body freed from nervous tension and over-fatigue is the ideal shelter provided by nature for housing a well-balanced mind that is always fully capable of successfully meeting all the complex problems of modern living.”

It’s almost like he was living in 2026, not 1926.

You come on retreat so that you can be stronger, healthier, more present, and more of yourself. Caring for yourself is not selfish. It’s responsible, necessary, and wise.

And when you return home, you bring that version of yourself back with you. The one your family, your friends, and most importantly, you deserve to have.

26/06/2026

At first, you are thinking about making this decision for yourself. And that’s actually how it should be. You spend most of your days considering your family, your work, and your obligations.

Maybe you squeeze in 45 min to exercise or read, but you care and worry a lot about everyone around you, all the things that need to get done, and at the end of the day, you feel tired.

So, you are thinking about a retreat because maybe you do need a little bit of space and time just for you. How nice would that feel if you had unlimited time to move your body, enjoy nature, and not have to make a single decision for another person?

That is exactly why so many women have attended a Movefree Retreat in the last 4 years.

When a group of women each make the courageous decision to prioritize themselves, something remarkable happens.

The entire group rises.

Although each woman brings her own intention, by the end of the retreat, everyone has contributed to everyone else’s experience.

No one comes to take care of anyone else. But a conversation over breakfast, shared laughter after class, and so many moments of encouragement allow everyone to feel supported.

This is the part that surprises people, and as I witness it unfold so beautifully, inspires all of us on every single retreat.

Coming on this retreat in France isn’t powerful because you will be leaving your life behind. It’s powerful because for a few days, you experience what it feels like to be surrounded by people who are all taking responsibility for their own well-being.

Just a group of women showing up for themselves.

And that creates an energy that lifts everyone. It's truly amazing! Taking care of yourself gives you the energy back so that you return home able to take care of those around you. It's reciprocal and biological.

And as I look at the group gathering for France, I can’t help but feel excited about what we’ll create together. It's going to be so amazing!!

There is only one private room and one bed in a shared ensuite room left. They won't last long. Take a chance on yourself and see what it feels like to be supported.

Join us in the restorative Arcachon Bay, in the Bordeaux region, October 2-7, 2026.
