Art & Soul: Yoga and Art Retreat in Antibes, France

The retreat runs for four nights in Antibes old town, from Friday 27 September to Tuesday 1 October 2024. Days mix yoga with art and creativity sessions, meditation and relaxation, with walks and swims in the Mediterranean in between. There is also time to explore the local markets and see the town.

Elaine Harris leads the yoga side as a yoga therapist, and Louise Shearer leads the art. Between them the programme covers both movement and making, and the two are treated as connected rather than separate activities. No prior experience in either is expected.

The setting is the old town of Antibes rather than a walled resort, so the town, its markets and the sea are part of the week. Breakfast and lunch are included; art and yoga equipment is available for anyone travelling without their own.

The 2024 edition was fully booked, so the practical route in is to register interest for the next dates. The operator also runs workshops for private groups and can be booked to bring a retreat to your own group.
