Yoga & Wild Swimming Retreat Bath

Yes we are returning! In 2024 myself and Lucie Norris will be running our 
Autumn re-wilding  — a yoga and wild swimming weekend retreat.

Fancy something a little on the wild side as the summer draws to a close?

RECHARGE AND UNWIND 

Soulful Summer Yoga and Meditation Retreat 

in the Loire Valley, France

July 18-22 2024

Join me this summer for a Soulful Yoga and Meditation retreat in a beautiful converted medieval farm, deep in the beautiful countryside of the Loire Valley.

​Enjoy a revitalising mix of warming, transformational yoga and workshop-style sessions to inspire and develop your personal practice, balanced with nourishing, ease-filled postures, somatic awareness movement, yin and restorative yoga to allow you to go deeper and truly let go. Immerse yourself in the beauty of the practices and the amazing French countryside surroundings for a truly sublime summer solstice.

Over our time together you’ll experience a range of styles with a different anatomic and philosophical focus threaded through, but all dancing around the theme of harnessing and celebrating the midsummer energy, taking stock and recharging ourselves. Throughout the week, we will explore different forms of pranayama and meditation, including gentle flowing Yoga & Qi Gong inspired movement meditation outside and barefoot, with longer flowing yoga sessions to invigorate and inspire.

​There will be free time each afternoon for whatever nourishes you, such as walking in nature, reading in a hammock, exploring the local area, visiting local chateaux (including the stunning one right across the field!) or likely swimming in the heated outdoor pool before our early evening yoga. This will vary between workshop-style sessions, flow and restore, or yin/fascia releasing movement and Yoga Nidra depending on the group energy, before enjoying our freshly prepared dinner. For the summer solstice, we will gather for songs/tales around a campfire, stargazing and meditation after evening dinner.
