Wellness Retreats   Scroll down ## Intelligent Movement and Longevity Resets !   *Éclore* means to "bloom" or to "hatch", a reminder that physical strength, mobility, and vitality continue to evolve through every stage of life. Real long-term health isn't built on quick fixes or aggressive workouts, but on understanding how your body changes and giving it what it needs to thrive for decades to come.   We created *Éclore* Retreats specifically for women aged 40 and over who are intentional about ageing well, without sacrificing the pleasures of a true getaway. Rooted in the evidence-led movement practice we teach at [*Éclore* Pilates](https://eclore-pilates.com/en/) at Port Gallice, Cap d'Antibes, our retreats take the [Méthode *Éclore*](https://eclore-pilates.com/en/exp%C3%A9rience) out of the studio and into immersive seasonal escapes. We combine precise movement and practical health education with beautiful hospitality, refined food, and unhurried time to unwind.   We don’t make lofty promises or sell overnight transformations. A single retreat won't reverse the biological clock, but it will give you the physical clarity, movement habits, and actionable knowledge needed to actively protect your bone density, joint health, and muscle strength.   Here’s what we offer: \- Intelligent Movement: Low-impact, high-precision Pilates focused on core stability, joint support, and functional strength. \- Practical Education: Clear, evidence-backed workshops on women's health (including osteopenia and osteoporosis management), muscle retention, and midlife physiology. \- Seasonal Nourishment: Chef-prepared, nutrient-rich meals prepared by a private chef and overseen by a nutritionist. \- Exceptional Locations: Handpicked coastal and countryside settings, ideal for stepping away from your daily routine, resetting, and taking dedicated time for yourself.   We are building a community of women who value practical health over trends, precision over intensity, and physical longevity over short-term results.   *Éclore* isn’t about escaping your life. It is about building the physical foundation to live it better, for years to come.   ## Upcoming retreats ### [![BastidedeLachaux\_luxuryvilla-70](https://eclore-retreats.com/hubfs/BASTIDE%20LACHAUX/BastidedeLachaux_luxuryvilla-70.jpg) Provence May 6th to 9th 2027 A four-day spring reset designed to strengthen your body, quiet your mind, and immerse your senses in the tranquil beauty of "la Drôme Provençale".

"A wonderful experience! The retreat was very well organized, warm and friendly, with a great balance of theory and practice. Lovely meals, time to relax, and a really nice group of women to share the experience with. I came away with useful knowledge about bone health and very happy I had joined. Highly recommended!” Ayse O. “I had a fabulous time at the Éclore Retreat for ladies with osteoporosis. I was apprehensive about going on my own with ladies that I’d never met before but I would highly recommend it. Everyone was lovely and we had the perfect balance between activities, amazing Pilates tuition with Gemma, workshops, chats, a local tour including wine tasting and free time. I came home revitalised and more confident about what I can do. Everything was sorted out for us including transfers from your arrival by plane or train.” Linda E. “From thinking Osteoporosis would mean limiting my activities and being cautious, I now understand my bones need to be challenged. It's been a real eye-opener as to how exercise can help you cope physically and also mentally with the challenges that osteoporosis brings. I shall never be glad to have osteoporosis, but I am very glad to have met and worked with Gemma and the other ladies in the program because of it.” Jane S. ### Interested in organising your private wellness event ?
