Drop into a peaceful timeless space & enjoy a nurturing escape away into a beautiful part of Perigod, France in the countryside surrounded by fabulous forests & lakes.
Join Harshani & Edd on a deeply nurturing heart centred Yoga retreat, where there is time to stretch, rest, meditate, sleep, walk, swim & relax with healing Sacred Sound baths ~ helping to recharge your batteries & enjoy some precious self-care time out for you, far away from the hustle & bustle of everyday life in the French countryside.
We will be sharing a 4 night stay at the gorgeous French barn & Yoga Retreat home of Valerie & Glynn, who create a warm welcome & tasty Veggie meals for us all to enjoy.
You are welcome to join in as much or as little as you wish, it’s your time to simply be. It is a retreat ~ away from work, home & to take some contemplative quiet time for yourselves to reset & find balance & harmony. Because of that it is traditional to offer the golden opportunity of some time to experience some inner silence & explore a deeper sense of peace. You are invited to enjoy that silence after the evening meditation & into the morning meditation, hatha & within the walks in nature. These are precious moments to enjoy simply ‘being present’ in yourself & around others.
Gorgeous French countryside

The venue provide all Yoga equipment, towels for the pool & bathroom, alongside some essential toiletries (shampoo/shower gel), so you can travel light as hand luggage/carry on 10kg bag to keep flight costs low. Our hosts Valerie & Glynn recommend this to all of their guests, also due to limited luggage for pick-ups.
This is a beautiful Zen Yoga space, so less is more, so you just need to bring yourselves, a swimming costume, Yoga clothes, sun tan lotion & a good book.
