More than
a yoga retreat

Step into a realm of softness and poetry,
where every moment is an opportunity to explore yourself,
connect with others, and embrace the world around you.

This isn’t just a yoga retreat—it’s a multi-sensory odyssey that intertwines movement, mindfulness, and exploration of the world. Designed as poetic and immersive escapes, we understand that the journey within is as vital as the journey without. We hold spaces of care for you to heal, explore and expand.

Our interludes provide a nurturing space to come together, finding harmony between action and reflection, and uncovering pathways to softness and connection. At our core, we hold a profound belief in the transformative power of love, as a universal force that binds all beings together.

We believe in the power of vulnerability, cultural immersions, and nature explorations to create holistic well-being. Our journeys are for anyone seeking to peel away the layers of their heart, deepen their relationships to themselves and others, and unleash their true potential.

Join us for transformative immersions, where you'll journey from the physical to the subtle, discovering the poetry of body and soul and delve into the depths of your being.

Allow yourself to pause, surrender to our sanctuaries and embrace the journey inward. Together, we’ll create a sacred space to release fears, dissolve barriers, and find softness and poetry.

The journey
to the heart

Each of our retreats is designed as a transformative journey into the inner self, to open up and discover the intimate immensity that unfolds outward.

Ground Yourself
& accept

Root yourself deeply into the present moment, feeling the solid support of the earth. Through yoga practices, walks in nature & mindfulness practices, discover a profound sense of acceptance. Delve into the depths of self-compassion, releasing the need for perfection and embracing the raw authenticity of your being.

Challenge yourself
& dissolve fears

Enter the arena of self-discovery and transformation as you confront your fears and limiting beliefs. Through inversions practices, new experiences & discussions, challenge the barriers that have held you back from realizing your fullest potential. Embrace discomfort as a catalyst for growth, boldly stepping beyond your comfort zone into the expanse of possibility.

Observe,
Feel & discover

Dive into a journey of introspection where you’ll observe the intricate dance of your thoughts, feelings, and bodily sensations. Through guided meditation & practices, and self-inquiry exercises, uncover hidden layers of your psyche, unraveling subconscious patterns and buried emotions that have long shaped your perception of self and reality.

Let go

Release the grip of attachment and surrender to the natural flow of life. Through dynamic movement practices and surrender ceremonies, relinquish control over outcomes and the burden of past and future anxieties. Allow the gentle current of the present moment to carry you forward, trusting in the inherent wisdom of the universe to guide your path.

Surrender & love

Embrace vulnerability as a pathway to profound connection and authentic expression. Through heart-opening practices and soul-nourishing rituals, cultivate a deep sense of interconnectedness with all beings, recognizing the binding force that unites us all.

“Thank you so much, Alice, for these few days out of time. I am still moved and I don't have the words to express how good I felt, so happy to practice and share with all these beautiful people. I feel calm, present, in my body and in my mind. This retreat is such a precious memory, I make a special place for it in my mind. Thank you for everything, thank you for your kindness, your gentleness, your infinite dedication, your benevolence, all those laughs: your magic worked again, and it was beautiful.”

Alicia

“It was so great to meet you in person, you are a beautiful person. Thank you so much for these four days. I needed to completely disconnect and enjoy the present moment, and that's exactly what happened. Simple moments and beautiful encounters around yoga. Thank you for everything.”

Claire

“Another huge thank you, Alice. I signed up for your retreat at a very difficult time in my life and found everything I was looking for there: calm, gentleness, and lots of sharing. All these moments with you and the group were magical and saving. Thank you for everything; your good mood, your humor, your cooking, your flows... You are a sun!”

“
Murielle

“A big thank you for everything, Alice: this impeccable organization, the feasts you prepared for us with the wonderful Anne and Manuela, these magnificent and gentle flows, these very beautiful meditative experiences, this cohesion you created, your naturalness and simplicity, and so much more. Thank you again to everyone for these wonderful moments, exchanges, and walks we shared. The experience would not have been the same without all of you. I am still on cloud nine and hope to see you all again soon.”

Pauline

“Just a little note to thank you for this extraordinary and completely out-of-time weekend. I had never met someone with such determination to do good around her, such a will to share beauty, and such generosity. Rare values these days but so precious. So yes, simply thank you. Thank you for allowing me to escape from my daily life, to deeply recharge, to learn to know myself better, to have the courage to believe in myself; it is priceless but so valuable. I leave stronger, more serene, I know where I am going.
See you very soon, for sure.”

“It was also the first time I went somewhere alone. Even if it wasn't at the other end of the world, or even at the other end of France, it was such a big step for me. If only you knew. When the lovely @alicegirardyoga, whose practice I admire so much, announced this 4-day retreat, I took the plunge. And I do not regret it. During this weekend, I returned to the essentials. I put down my agitated mind, the daily worries, and the difficulties I am going through, I turned off my phone and opened this parenthesis, this bubble... Surrounded by these 23 women, carried by their smiles, their energy, their kindness, I did not feel alone for a second. Between the practices on our mats, the aches, the laughs and the tears, the suspended moments watching the chickens and alpacas, the delicious vegan meals prepared by Alice, the discussions in the sun, the naps, the walks in the fields, the meditation and writing, time flew by. I fully lived "the present moment," for real. The slow life. I left with lovely memories and the desire to live other future retreats. And I am proud of the path I have taken, I feel so much gratitude for all of this. Thank you again @alicegirardyoga for creating this lovely luminous bubble that I took with me...”

I am full of gratitude towards life that leads me to all this discovery.”

“Hello hello ✨🌱
Thank you for these beautiful messages that are so nice to read and feel ❤️ thank you for these few days together, thank you for your presence, your gentleness, your laughs, your welcome, your strength, your encouragement, your shares 🪐 I really had a very beautiful time and I think I will continue to feel it for some time, it will resonate and grow, I already feel it haha. Yesterday I found myself in a very unpleasant situation with a guy yelling at me and insulting me but I felt so serene, so strong, so confident, and peaceful too, as if I had the strength and presence of 25 women with me and I think that was the case 😊. Of course, thank you, Alice, thank you for creating this space, thank you for your words, your kindness and love, and all the experience you share with us which is so inspiring✨ and your flows 🤌🏻 real gems!

“Thank you Alice for these 3 days of softness and joy! This was my first yoga retreat and, I was very happy to join this group and feel welcomed, safe and challenged (on my mat) at the same time. I came away with more space in my heart, body and head <3. Thank you also for adding a broader sense of openness to others during the retreat and in life. It gives us even more momentum when we come out! See you soon on a mat!”
