The invitation
You don't need to be anywhere else, or anyone else, than who you are right now.
This retreat is an invitation to slow down.
To step out of the rhythm of the city and into something softer.
We’ll spend a long weekend together in the French countryside – moving, resting, sharing meals, and creating space to reconnect with what matters.
Held in a kind, loving and powerful group, this time is designed to feel grounding, nourishing, and simple.

"Leonie’s retreat was a truly wonderful experience. I went, not knowing what to expect, and a little nervous for my first ever retreat. I was greeted with a warm, loving, safe space with incredibly kind people who have since become friends. I not only deepened my physical practice, but also my spiritual practice. Leonie holds space with a huge amount of grace for her students and the opportunities for growth and healing she created within the space of a week was a true gift. I loved the rhythm of the retreat; with dynamic classes and workshops, meditation, sharing sessions and free time to explore the surrounding landscape, I didn’t want to leave. I truly hope to go back!" - Victoria

Questions
Common questions
This retreat is designed for participants who feel called to immerse themselves in a dedicated practice. While no advanced yoga experience is required, some prior touchpoint with yoga and a general level of physical readiness will help you receive the full benefit of the retreat.
The topics are not strictly set in advance.
There will be a balance between more active, physically engaging practices (one afternoon e.g. arm balances or backbends) and quieter, more restorative (other afternoon alignment-focused, restorative) sessions.
I stay responsive to the group and welcome your input — shaping the workshops in a way that feels supportive for everyone.
Nourishing vegetarian meals will be provided throughout the retreat — mostly gluten-free, organically sourced, and prepared with care and love. If you have any special dietary requirements, please let us know in advance and we will find a supportive solution.
