Pilates Breaks In France For Total Relaxation.
Kerry J Spence 
Pilates breaks in France offer a great opportunity to incorporate relaxing exercise into a holiday or short break. They are in the Dordogne area, a wonderfully diverse and interesting region in the south west.
The practice of Pilates promotes strength, fitness, agility and relaxation. It is the perfect exercise to include in a holiday. All the movements in Pilates are deliberate, controlled and graceful. Breathing is hugely important with controlled breaths which rejuvenate and relax the muscles. Many people who practice Pilates find it has a meditative quality which enables them to relax more deeply all the time.
A range of packages are available for beginners and those who practice regularly. Classes can be taken individually or in a group. Bespoke breaks are also possible so that you have complete freedom of choice. The aim is to provide a relaxing break so there is flexibility in all aspects of the service from meal times to classes.
The Dordogne is the perfect location to compliment the practice of Pilates. It is tranquil and the pace of life is leisurely. There are many trails for hikers and cyclists to get out and enjoy the varied countryside which features limestone crags, gorges, rivers, ancient forests and rolling green hills. The farmland produces a huge range of quality foods and some specialties such as foie gras. There are of course vineyards to visit many of which are traditional family run enterprises.
The Dordogne has over one thousand chateaux, from small privately owned ones to huge grand affairs where you can take a tour. Hiring a car to explore these and the many picturesque villages is easy to do. The proximity of several airports means that a short break is feasible.
Pilates holidays in France are a great way to unwind and recharge your batteries. Whether you want a quiet time with your partner or fun with friends you can find it in the Dordogne.
