Join Alicia Moran and Catherine Annis for a rejuvenating, refreshing and uplifting Easter weekend away in the lush countryside of Northern France, just three hours from London. With great food, good company, and beautiful surroundings, we can truly relax and peel away the layers to reveal the natural freedom of the body in movement.

On this very special weekend, Alicia and Catherine will be working together, providing a collaboartive approach within a mix of Pilates and yoga sessions, so you get the benefits of both approaches  - the technique and postural structure of Pilates, and the relaxation, awareness and quietness of yoga. Leave feeling revitalised and light, with a longer, stronger and more flexible spine.

Yoga and Pilates sessions take place in the spectacular attic space, and to complete the experience, we will also be joined by Robert Annis, a very talented and intuitive massage therapist, who will be on hand to soothe aching muscles and help everyone to simply wind down, and enjoy the simplicity and beauty of this lovely space.

Price Single

Sample Programme

Alicia Moran - Pilates Alicia discovered Pilates as a professional dancer in Australia, and has been teaching since 2000. Her dance background has exposed her to many other forms of movement including contact improvisation, Feldenkrais and Body Mind Centering. She trained as a Pilates teacher through an apprenticeship and, also completed a certification with Body Arts and Science International (BASI). Alicia moved to London in 2004 and became a member of the Pilates Foundation UK in 2006. She teaches at Pilates off the Square, The Light Centre and also has her own studio at home. Her teaching has developed through ongoing classes with Hana Jones  and she regards her own self practise as crucial to maintaining her focus as a teacher. Alicia understands that there are many ways to approach teaching Pilates. She is interested in finding ways of discovering ease of movement, awareness of held postural patterns and the relationships between mind and body.
