Come to relax, enjoy & take time out to focus on you - your needs & wellness goals!

We know how hard it can be to find “me time” in our busy world & have designed this retreat with you in mind! The fantastic facilities at Manoir Mouret & the peaceful surroundings give you the perfect setting to dive deeper into understanding your body, how it moves & how you want it to move for years to come.


Our Team is led by Asha, an amazing personal trainer & yoga teacher with over 15 years’ experience of helping clients in London & Hong Kong.


Asha “I’m really excited to be leading Move for Life! at the beautiful Manoir Mouret and to be able to work with such an inspiring team. My overarching goal is simple, to help people feel good in their bodies. By thoughtfully creating a personalised combination of strength training, yoga/Qi Gong and mobility work people can improve their wellbeing, and with it, their enjoyment for life.






Hayley North, a super experienced holistic retreat chef & Qi Gong teacher, will be sharing her knowledge & delicious food.


Chef Hayley “I love the way this retreat holistically weaves together a variety of movement practises and the joy of sharing delicious energy giving meals. My food philosophy is to bring subtlety of balance and connection that nourishes mind, body and spirit. On Move! we can align seasonal rhythms celebrating Mouret’s home grown produce and that of the other local producers."

Margaret & Jack, retreat hosts and long-term local French residents, complete our Team bringing local knowledge.


“We’re so pleased to launch this new retreat at Mouret which celebrates the joy of movement and brings together two amazing teachers and people, Asha and Hayley, who we love and admire.” Jack and Margaret
