Immerse yourself in a tranquil yoga retreat nestled in the heart of the French countryside, where every detail is designed to rejuvenate your body, mind, and spirit.

Begin and end each day with invigorating and restorative yoga sessions, tailored for all levels—from beginners to seasoned practitioners. The morning practice will energize your day, while the evening session will gently guide you into a state of deep relaxation and inner peace.

Savor the delights of our vegan cuisine, with each meal lovingly prepared using fresh, local ingredients. Start your mornings with homemade vegan croissants, artisanal jams, and creamy vegan cheeses, followed by a light lunch option and a sumptuous three-course dinner each evening, where you’ll experience the rich flavors of plant-based gourmet dining.

Beyond yoga, embark on enriching excursions that showcase the best of the region. Wander through the historic streets of La Rochefoucauld, marveling at its majestic château, and soak up the authentic atmosphere of one of France’s most beautiful farmers markets in Piegut-Pluviers. Feel the ocean breeze on your skin as you practice yoga on the wild Atlantic coast, followed by a delightful maritime picnic.

For those seeking additional adventure, optional activities include an afternoon at the serene Lac de Lavaud, where you can glide across the water on a stand-up paddleboard or kayak. Alternatively, connect with nature at a nearby alpaca farm, spending time with these gentle animals in a peaceful rural setting.

This retreat is conducted in English and/or German, ensuring a welcoming and inclusive environment for all. Whether you’re seeking relaxation, adventure, or a deeper connection to your yoga practice, this retreat offers a perfect blend of serenity, exploration, and culinary pleasure. Come join us for an unforgettable journey of self-discovery and rejuvenation.

Yoga teacher Mitch

I have been passionately teaching yoga for several years in a few studios in Düsseldorf and the surrounding area and have a lot of experience in organizing and running retreats. I have completed over 550 h of certified yoga trainings in Vinyasa, Hatha, Sivananda, Restorative and Yin Yoga styles. Yoga to me is beyond spiritual religion or sport. Yoga for me is a philosophical guide through life, on all levels – physical, mental and spiritual. I teach what I myself have experienced through yoga, authentically and without dogma. Everything can and may be, nothing must be. I keep the space open for you over the time of the retreat!
