The house is the centre of this retreat. It sits in a small village in rural France, close to Bordeaux and Bergerac, and guests have exclusive use of the pool, the loungers, the house and the grounds for the five nights. The page describes bedrooms it is clearly proud of and plenty of places to sit with a book or talk after brunch. It is a French country house rather than a purpose-built retreat centre, and the week is arranged around that.

The practice changes daily. You move through a range of vinyasa-based flows and yin, plus slow practices and workshops. The new addition for 2027 is sound: a sound bath every day, sometimes in the late afternoon and sometimes at bedtime, so the nervous system gets a daily shift into a parasympathetic state in the teacher's words. One full yoga practice and one yin or sound bath are included each day, along with daily morning meditation and pranayama.

Food is handled by an in-house private chef, with every ingredient sourced locally. Brunch after practice is the big meal, dinner is at the villa each evening, and coffee, teas and fruit are out through the day, with a snack in the afternoon. Lunch is not included — afternoons are free time, and food and drink bought outside the villa is on you.

The solstice timing is the point of the dates. The retreat runs 17–22 June 2027, over the longest days of the year, which means long light evenings in the French countryside. The page notes that optional group day trips may be arranged for free time and marked on the schedule nearer the time; those are not part of the package.

Rooms are priced per person, private or shared. Some rooms are private doubles with their own bathroom, others share a bathroom, and one is a twin attached to another twin at a lower price — the teacher asks you to contact her about that one because of how it is set up. Two of the rooms are already sold out. Flights and transfers are not included, though a group transfer may be arranged through a WhatsApp group closer to the date.
