Details
Take a week away from the busyness of life and escape to the French countryside! I’ve chosen a gem of a retreat center—Occitania, nestled near the Pyrenées mountains. Spend a week in the newly renovated chateau, with a gorgeous pool, sauna, gym, and gardens to stroll in. We'll bookend our days with yoga, leaving the afternoons to do as you please - explore the French countryside and the many tiny charming towns in the area, read a book by the pool, or stroll the gardens. Joining me for a second year in a row, Irene Sanchez will offer qi-gong and a cacao ceremony, along with 1:1 sessions including acupuncture, birth charts, and body mind therapy. My intention for this retreat is to guide you back into your body with daily yoga practices, followed by time to simply be—whether that means relaxing by the pool, wandering the beautiful gardens, or exploring nearby towns. Let the healing power of yoga and nature replenish your body, mind, and spirit.

The historic château was constructed in 1786, just 3 years prior to the outbreak of the French Revolution, belonging to the family of the Comte Du Pac until 1960. The property encompasses a sprawling 10-acre park with gardens designed under different themes: French, English, Asian and Mediterranean. The grounds also include a pond where koi fish and wild ducks swim, a salt-water pool, a steam room, gym and a greenhouse.
