Yoga, Baking/Cooking & Slow Living with Animals in Rural France

Welcome to Rural French Wilderness & Gentle, a 5-day beginner-friendly retreat set in the heart of rural France, where forest paths, a flowing river, and friendly animals become part of your daily rhythm.

This is not a retreat about perfection or performance.
It is about slowing down, breathing deeply, moving gently, and reconnecting with joy — through yoga, baking, nature, and simple living.

Wake to birdsong.
Stretch beside the river, in the fields, forest or on the terrace.
Have fun & bake some cakes with your own hands (veganized).
Share quiet moments with donkeys, hens, dogs and cats.
And return home calmer, lighter, and inspired.

No yoga experience needed. Just a love of nature, food, and a slower pace of life.
