RETURN TO SELF: France Yoga & Cultural Experience
FRANCE YOGA RETREAT 2025
RETURN TO SELF: Provence Yoga & Cultural Experience
Led by Kayla Copeland
Hosted by Megan McAllister
Provence, Gordes, France
September 13th – 20th 2025 (7 nights)
Journey to picturesque Provence decorated with rolling vineyards, olive groves, pine forests, and lavender fields, and known for its beautiful scenery, light, and contrasting colors as we slow down, tend to our inner sanctuary, and return to self. You’ll have plenty of spaciousness to wander, stroll, meander, and get lost (or found) in the moment.
We will be staying in the French Countryside at Domaine de Fontblanche, a gorgeous and lush 10-acre private country estate surrounded by olive orchards, lavender fields and vineyards, with spectacular views. Right in the heart of the Luberon, one of Provence’s most sought after areas, and next to the beautiful medieval village of Gordes.
Drink in nature’s masterpiece while nourishing yourself with delicious Provencal food during the farmers annual harvest of sun soaked, bountiful, and flavorsome summer produce when flavor is at its peak and literally wafting in the Air.
Come home to yourself and immerse yourself deeper in your daily yoga practice while embracing and honoring another culture in our Yoga and Cultural reset and restore experience.
Join us in France!
