Forest Yoga Weekend at Repère Sauvage

Dynamic and slower practices share the weekend with unhurried time outside. Brunches and dinner around the same table give this short escape a welcoming, communal feel.

Trade the city’s pace for a weekend beside the woods at Repère Sauvage. Gwennaëlle Mirol guides a small-group retreat that makes room for both movement and stillness, with bilingual teaching in English and French.

Four practices span dynamic Vinyasa yoga, quieter Yin and restorative sessions, and an afternoon workshop. Saturday opens with a circle and practice before brunch, then leaves space to nap, read or walk before the afternoon session and dinner. Sunday brings morning yoga, a final brunch and a closing circle. The order may vary, and all experience levels are welcome.

The two-day stay includes one night, two vegetarian brunches, one dinner, water, tea, coffee, a welcome drink, four practices, team support, parking and Wi-Fi. Arrive on Saturday between half past eight and half past nine in the morning; leave on Sunday between half past two and half past four in the afternoon, local French time. Shorter or longer stays are not offered. Shared twin accommodation starts at USD 559.63 per person, a shared forest lodge is USD 615.59, and a solo room is USD 635.74. The shared-twin deposit of USD 173.49 is part of the total; the balance is due on arrival. Booking closes on 4 December. Rooms have private bathrooms; lodges include a kitchenette and terrace. Tell the host about allergies or dietary needs when booking; vegan options are listed. Train travel, insurance, airport transfers, extra treatments and unlisted activities cost extra. The TGV from Paris Montparnasse to Vendôme–Villiers-sur-Loir takes about 40 minutes; contact the host to arrange the final journey to the estate.
