Gites de Source
Cottage calm, poolside pauses, yoga space
Three holiday cottages, a yoga shala and a large swimming pool set the tone at Gites de Source: this is a place where a retreat can make room for practice and genuine downtime. In Saint-Pierre-de-Frugie, the gardens and calm south-west French setting give the property an appealingly unhurried feel. The yoga space makes it a natural fit for a hosted yoga gathering, while the pool and cottages give guests room to balance sessions with quieter hours outdoors. It also looks well suited to small groups who want a shared retreat base without giving up the privacy of separate accommodation. The tradition, teaching style and daily program depend on the retreat being hosted, so check the current dates and details before booking. For a slower change of scene, the simple mix of green space, movement and rest is the main draw.
