Yoga & Hiking Retreat
28 April – 2 May 2025
Languedoc Roussillon, Southern France
Le Mas Des Oules is a beautifully renovated farmhouse surrounded by rolling hills, vineyards, ancient woodland and exquisite landscaped gardens. There is a sublime sense of deep peace and stillness in the natural beauty of this place.
Situated in the Gard, a few minutes from the medieval city of Uzès, the farmhouse is presented in eight elegant houses with charming interiors made of original stone, wooden floors and high beamed ceilings. Bathe in the serene swimming pools surrounded by nature or bliss in the spa for total relaxation. The spacious gardens are designed with trees, vines and wild flowers to uplift the senses and soothe the soul. Walk and discover your hidden secret place for a moment of meditation and calm.
The quintessential gardens, patio and fountain, vineyards and woodland, stone architecture and sublime starry nights offer many possibilities to replenish and rejuvenate your body-mind-soul.
On waking in this stunning location, we will do a blissful sunrise sadhana in the historic yoga shala with wooden floors and high ceilings. Moving through beautiful sequencing and creative namaskars, we will explore Elemental Vinyasa Flow and inspired Dharma Yoga. At sunset, we will surrender to a restorative Yin Yoga practice allowing your being to rest, renew and rejuvenate. On one evening, you will be guided through a magical cacao ceremony with a shamanic drum to awaken positivity and powerful intentions for a new path ahead.
Our Chef will prepare delicious French-inspired cuisine. The delicious, nutritious flavourful food is lovingly homemade with local and seasonal produce. The restaurant has an open-air terrace, so that guests enjoy gourmet French delicacies, while admiring the splendid view of the Cevennes.
Uzes and the surrounding nature holds some breathtakingly beautiful scenes for hiking. You will experience a guided trek, exploring the outstanding natural beauty of the southern French countryside and history of the region. On another afternoon, we will visit the historic picturesque town of Uzes, discovering the medieval architecture, cafes and boutiques shops of the town.
The joy of a retreat is the concept of ‘kula’ (community) where we eat, sleep, and practice together, returning home feeling energised from this sharing element. For those who seek solitude, the villa offers wonderful spaces and places to immerse in peace and serenity.
We are blessed to retreat together in the breathtaking natural beauty of the South of France!
