YOGA + REFORMER PILATES RETREAT
Côte d'Azur, France
8-13th May 2027
The setting.
Join us at Villa Higo on the beautiful Côte d’Azur for a five-night yoga and Reformer Pilates retreat designed to bring you back to yourself.
Mornings begin with Reformer Pilates in a light-filled studio overlooking the Mediterranean. Afternoons and evenings invite you to soften into yoga, from flowing, energising practices to slower moments of deep rest.
In between, there's time for long lunches, sunshine by the pool, beautiful food prepared by our private chef and the kind of conversations that happen when life finally slows down.
This is your invitation to step away from the everyday, find a little more space to breathe and return home feeling nourished in body and mind.
No pressure to be perfect. No need to do more. Just five nights dedicated to you.

Abi focuses on creating a deep awareness of breath and movement, allowing her students the space to disconnect from a busy mind and tune back into their own bodies.
On a long journey with her own mental health, yoga has been the tool to help Abi find a place of calmness and clarity in life, and encourages self exploration and the practice of letting go through her classes and workshops.
Abi recently opened up her very own yoga in June 2026, wanting to create the feeling of retreat in a permanent spot. The studio is located in East Twickenham, and continues her exploration of creating community and calm spaces for people to unwind and transform.
