Yoga & Nervous System Reset Retreat in Provence, Luberon

Aurélia Del Sol, a facialist and the founder of Face Soul Yoga, leads the whole four days. The schedule alternates Face Yoga, Gentle Vinyasa, Yin Yoga, breathing and postural work with walks in the garrigue and dedicated downtime. Sessions are designed to release physical and emotional tension and restore circulation, and there is a particular focus on the face and jaw alongside the rest of the body. One block of the retreat is given over to the FEEL Method Ritual, made by twin sisters Isabelle and Alexandra Hylén, which combines infrared sauna, cold bath, conscious breathing and aromatherapy. It is the standout element of the programme and is run as a full session rather than a quick add-on.

La Bastide du Mourre is a 17-room property built as a small Provencal hamlet, surrounded by garrigue and olive groves. It has an indoor gym and yoga room stocked with weights, mats and resistance bands, a heated outdoor pool, a nature spa with Nordic bath and sauna, a tennis court and a pétanque court. There are no roads nearby, and the quiet is the reason people come. Hiking trails leave straight from the property, and the lavender fields and hilltop villages of Gordes, Oppède-le-Vieux and Roussillon are close by.

Meals are served as a shared table d'hôtes, with simple, local cooking, and a participatory culinary workshop is part of the programme. Treatments using the organic French brand On The Wild Side are available on site, and the Relax & Glow by Nooānce is offered alongside them, paired with a tasting of Apnée's collagen drink. Between sessions there is time to swim, read on the terrace, walk into the hills or book a massage.

The retreat is intentionally small. It is not a fitness bootcamp and it is not a silent meditation course — the emphasis sits on regulation and rest rather than effort, and the format suits people who want structure in the mornings and space in the afternoons. It is held once, from 26 to 29 March, and booking is by email only, subject to availability.
