FRANCE YOGA RETREAT

South-West France Yoga Retreat

4th - 8th September 2025

Join us for the second year of our France Retreat!

Nourish your mind, body and soul with 5 days of blissful yoga in the rolling hills of Lot-et-Garonne. We’ll stay in a collection of 16th century stone gites, surrounded by breath taking French countryside and ancient woodlands. Days will be spent practicing yoga in the renovated barn, swimming in the saltwater pool, and sharing locally sourced meals alfresco.

Our time together will be carefully crafted to leave you feeling re-energised, connected back to your heart and genuinely relaxed.

This retreat welcomes all levels of yoga, all activities are optional and we encourage you to take things at your own pace. In this open and friendly environment, deep connections are made and friendships formed.

Testimonials

  • Sharon Graham

    “Just amazing, Dan and Holly made this retreat the best I’ve ever been on. The yoga was set at a really good pace and Dan’s teaching was matched beautifully in pace and style to the time of day. Early morning yoga with the view and sunrise left me feeling invigorated and the evening yoga was a beautiful spiritual experience. The food was freshly made with local produce and the accommodation was beautiful with natural rustic features, comfortable soft furnishings and an outside pool. I can’t wait to join Dan on his next retreat.”

  • Gemma

    “My experience at mellow retreats was pure magic. Dan and Holly created such a safe space for us to connect with ourselves and others and most importantly have fun! Not only was the yoga so carefully considered but there was the perfect balance of restoration and activity, from energising yoga in the morning and kayaking down the dordogne to a sound bath and cacoa ceremony. I would whole heartedly recommend anyone to attend if you can. It was easily the best weekend of my year!”

  • Catherine Allen

    “Wow just wow!!! This is how I would best describe Dan’s yoga retreat in France at the beginning of September. Dans yoga classes and meditations were as per usual, so very special. Hollys warm, amazing presence and photography skills are just perfect. They make the perfect yoga retreat dream team. Thank you for the best time and it will be the first of many for us 🙏❤️”

  • Amanda Moulson

    “I practice with Dan whenever I can as his yoga is the perfect blend of strength and solace. That energy drew me to his 2024 yoga retreat in France - an absolutely divine experience. For someone so kind and spiritual, Dan is also organised. He communicated frequently about the retreat, crafted a stellar itinerary with a perfect blend of group and independent time and found a gorgeous venue, complete with an excellent chef. Most of all, Dan is kind and has a true gift and yogic spirit. Any time spent in his company, class or retreat, will leave you better than you came!”

    “Incredible retreat. There isn’t anything I can think of that would have improved or added to my experience. The retreat surpassed my expectations and is easily the best retreat I’ve been on.”
