Gillian
Occitania, southern France · Joined August 2025
I am a 73 yrs grandmother and former yoga teacher. I now run a yoga retreat centre in southern France with my husband Neil. I have been vegan for the past 12 years, and vegetarian since 1995, Neil has been vegetarian since 1982, and is almost, but not quite vegan now. We like to travel, and are always on the look out for vegan restaurants. What a great idea to only have cruelty free kitchens!! We also have a small Gite (self contained apartment) that I intend to list on this website for dates when we don't have yoga groups.
My Lifestyle
Retired, but still working. My husband and I run Santosha Yoga, France, where we welcome yoga teachers and their groups from all over the world. We love to walk in the beautiful countryside around our house, and in the foot hills of the Pyrenees. www.santoshayoga.fr
Fun Facts About Me
After being laid off from my job in England, I decided to go round the world. I met my now husband, Neil at the end of this year long trip, while in New Orleans, Louisiana. We married and I spent the 11 years living in this amazing city. We both moved to France in 2011 where we bought a ruined property which we totally renovated to make our yoga centre.
Hobbies & Interests
DIY, gardening, walking in nature, vegan cooking and recipes, practicing yoga. Travelling the world, hanging out with my husband, kids and grandkids.
