We have run countless retreats in this area and this is what our customers have to say about …
“Chloe and Christian are excellent yoga teachers, attentive and highly professional. The retreat I attended in the South of France was pure bliss for the body and the soul. The venue was equally exceptional as were the home-cooked wholesome vegetarian meals. I highly recommend going on their retreats, you'll feel replenished, and at peace while improving your yoga practice. Thank you!”
Sophie, France
“I have recently returned from a yoga retreat in the south of France. I hadn't been on a yoga retreat before and it was really quite special. The venue was wonderful; amazing views and a very homely feel. The yoga was perfect for our group (not too easy and not too challenging). Chloe and Christian set the perfect tone for the week and I left feeling refreshed and happier. I would heartily recommend it to anyone (in case you hadn't noticed from my gushing review...).”

Mara, Switzerland
“I had a lovely sunny week, in a stunning location, with some really wonderful people and some of the best yoga & meditation classes I've ever attended. I came back happy, healthy, relaxed and a tiny bit tanned - everything you could wish for from a holiday! I'd encourage anyone thinking about going to one of these retreats to stop thinking about it and BOOK IT! I wholeheartedly recommend it and am already plotting my next one. Thank you Chloe, Christian, Maudie, your amazing chef Phoebe and the ever smiley Mia for such a great week. And also big love to everyone who I was on the retreat with. I made some friends for life xx”

Your retreats are a must and I most recommend them! Thanks for an amazing yoga week in the South of France in early June! Beautiful setting, great yoga, fantastic food, not to mention the great friends and the lovely memories. I can't wait for the next! ;-)))”
