Pilates retreat in an electric campervan in the Southwest
Brief
Duration5 days and 4 nights
Group SizeMin: 6 / Max: 12
Departure and ReturnDax TGV station (1mn walk from our agency)
Head southwest for a unique all-female retreat combining wellness, movement, and adventure. Embark on this group trip in a converted van to discover the most beautiful spots on the west coast.
Guided by Noémie (founder of The Family Van) & Axelle, a passionate Pilates teacher, explore the benefits of outdoor exercise while traveling around the southwest in an electric van. Each day brings a new destination, a new setting, and a new Pilates session in the heart of nature to strengthen the body and calm the mind.
On the agenda: discover van life as a group, practice Pilates facing the ocean or in the heart of a pine forest, get together and chat over a glass of wine, and above all... take the time. Time to breathe, refocus, laugh, share, and experience an extraordinary moment, in all simplicity.
Welcome to The Family Van 2.0 adventure, we can't wait to welcome you :)
