Details
Join Sophie and Mindful Wellness Coaching for Rest & Renew – an Autumn Yoga & Relaxation Retreat in the Alps, a cosy, heart-led escape at the serene Chalet Zenspace. This tranquil Alpine haven, nestled in the French Alps, offers the perfect backdrop to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and feel supported as you move into a new season. Set in the charming village of Le Grand-Bornand, just an hour from Geneva, this retreat invites you to step out of everyday noise and into the peaceful rhythms of nature. Stroll through the gardens, breathe in crisp autumn air, and soak up expansive mountain views that invite your whole system to exhale. Savour nourishing vegetarian meals prepared on-site, and unwind in warm, thoughtfully designed rooms that blend Alpine character with modern comfort. Choose from private double rooms with en-suite bathrooms or singles with shared facilities—each with its own window onto the breathtaking Alpine landscape. Throughout your stay, Sophie will gently guide you through a restorative program designed to help your body and nervous system settle, and your inner world feel clearer and more grounded. Experience soft, accessible yoga, grounding meditation, guided journaling for meaningful self-reflection, nature walks to attune to the changing season, and breathwork sessions inspired by Polyvagal principles—all honouring the Autumn Equinox as a time for reflection, release, and renewal. We’ll consciously leave behind the energy of constant doing and busyness, and welcome the season of change feeling rested, resourced, and renewed. **Payment plan options available* Please note: This is an alcohol-free retreat. Food will be vegetarian with vegan options, or vegan-based with egg/cheese sides. All sessions are run in English (your host is bilingual EN/FR). A minimum of 6 attendees is required for this retreat to go ahead. Numbers will be reviewed by 30 June; if the retreat is cancelled due to low numbers by that date, all tickets sold will be fully refunded.
