Ayurvedic Wellness Escape with Daily Yoga, Massages and Forest Bathing in the French Countryside

The retreat is structured around a few key practices that repeat across the four days, giving it a calm, predictable rhythm. Each morning starts with a yoga class, followed by meditation and relaxation practices that include crystal bowl sound baths and olfactory relaxation. The centrepiece of the retreat is a pair of two full-body Ayurvedic massages, each lasting 1.5 hours, using oils chosen for your constitution during an initial one-on-one consultation on arrival. In addition, you will take part in a forest bathing walking meditation in the mature oak woodlands that surround the château, and a workshop that introduces the basics of the Ayurvedic diet and lifestyle, covering the six tastes and how they relate to the three doshas.
