Recharge Your Soul in the French CountrysideYoga & Wellness Retreat in France
July 13–17, 2026
La Maison Welcome, Réaux-Sur-Trèfle, France
Picture this: soft sunlight spilling across the vineyards, mornings filled with yoga, afternoons by the pool, and evenings savoring farm-to-table meals with new friends.
Join us for five unforgettable days in the Cognac region on a retreat designed to nourish your body, mind, and spirit.
The Retreat
Every summer, I take my family back to France. To the slow mornings, the long meals, the familiar softness of the countryside.
It’s the week where my whole system exhales, where rest stops being something I should do and becomes something I can finally feel.
This year, I’m taking you with me…
This retreat is more than a getaway.
It’s a chance to slip into a rhythm of rest I return to every year, one I can’t wait to share with you.
Sample Day in the Life…
Each morning begins with a revitalizing yoga practice and sound meditation designed to awaken your energy without rushing you.
Meals are crafted by our private chef, served slowly and with intention, because in France, nourishment is part of the experience.
From there, your day unfolds exactly the way you want it to. Float in the pool. Wander through gardens. Drift into the sauna or steam room.
Read. Nap. Do nothing, beautifully.
Together, we’ll explore nearby villages, enjoy gentle nature walks, and gather for thoughtfully curated workshops and a cooking class that will leave you glowing from the inside out.
Your Home Away from Home: La Maison Welcome
Nestled in the heart of Réaux-Sur-Trèfle, La Maison Welcome is a private countryside retreat center blending rustic French character with modern amenities. With a pool, sauna, steam room, and acres of vineyard-lined land, it’s the perfect setting to disconnect from the noise and reconnect with yourself.

Rest & Relaxation
Spend the afternoons lounging by the pool and soaking in the sun! Enjoy the on-site sauna, steam room, and hot tub, or cozy up by the fire at night! Optional spa treatments on-site make it easy to indulge in deep relaxation.
Activities & Excursions
While yoga is at the heart of our retreat, you’ll also have the chance to explore the nearby village and celebrate Bastille Day, participate in special workshops, wine tastings, and even enjoy an authentic French cooking class on site!
I’ll have two of my dear friends joining me to make the retreat extra sweet!
Lindsay Monal will be guiding us through sound meditation ceremonies daily, in the pool, in the aerial hammocks, anywhere you want to sit down and tune in!
Shelly Xu will be documenting it all behind the lens so you can fully relax and be present in the moment, and still take home some pretty picture souvenirs!
You’ll also be able to book 1:1 Reiki Sessions with Lindsay, or a private photoshoot on the property with Shelly!
Sound good? There’s more!

Bordeaux is technically the closest airport, but it’s best to fly to Paris, then take TGV towards Angoulême or Bordeaux.
Highly accessible, La Maison Welcome is located 1 hour from Bordeaux by train or car, 45 minutes from Angoulême TGV station, and 20 minutes from the A10 motorway exits. -
Check in is on Monday, July 13th at 4pm!
I highly recommend you fly in Sunday, spend a day in Paris and take the train Monday morning to Bordeaux for a leisurely start! -
We will part ways on Friday, July 17th after our morning yoga + brunch.
You can plan to book your flight back on Friday, stay in the region longer or continue your French adventure. You can go further south east to Provence, or up North to Paris! The world is your oyster!
Your French Countryside Escape Awaits
This retreat is more than a getaway, it’s an invitation to return home to yourself. In the beauty of Bordeaux’s wine country, surrounded by like-hearted travelers, you’ll find rest, renewal, and unforgettable memories. Spots are limited, and this experience won’t be repeated in the same way again.
