Picture this...
Set in the peaceful countryside of South West France, this six-day retreat is designed to explore the many layers of inner awakening. Mornings begin with creative yoga, breathwork and meditation, before moving into workshops that bring together somatic movement, self-discovery, and manifestation, including a special Lion's Gate portal experience.
Throughout the week, we'll explore yoga beyond the physical practice, with space to question old patterns, reconnect with yourself and get clear on what you want to invite into your life. A heart-opening cacao ceremony offers time for reflection and intention-setting, while evening yin yoga with myofascial release helps you unwind and release built-up tension.
Between sessions, enjoy delicious & nutritious meals from chef Megan, time by the pool and the beauty of the French countryside. This is a week to step away from your usual routine, explore what lies beneath the surface and make space for a fresh perspective on who you're becoming.
Immerse yourself in yoga and inner awakening, and return home with the tools to nurture your inner flame, manifest your intentions and keep your spark alive long after the retreat ends.

I didn’t find yoga on a beach in Bali. I found it on my bedroom floor, in chronic pain, at the lowest point of my life. Fibromyalgia had ended my performing career, and years of dysmorphia and insecurity had left me feeling like a stranger in my own skin.
Yoga became my lifeline. It calmed my nervous system, healed my relationship with my body and gave me the confidence to build the life I’d always dreamed of.
Now, I bring women together in some of the world’s most beautiful places to do the same. Whether you join us for Self-Love, Nervous System Regulation or Inner Awakening, you’ll be held, nourished and guided every step of the way - so you can let go of who you thought you had to be, and step into who you’re becoming.
Everything I teach, I’ve lived first.
