Location: Château de Gueyze

We’ll be based at Château de Gueyze, an elegant 11th-century retreat venue surrounded by rolling hills, vineyards, and peaceful countryside.

Practising yoga here offers a rare invitation to connect deeply with nature and tune into your inner peace.

The château’s foundations date back to the Middle Ages, originally built as a fortified stronghold. Today it has been lovingly restored by Joice and Martin, who host it as an Ashtanga yoga retreat space. The venue is around 80 minutes by car from Bordeaux and Toulouse airports. Trains to Agen are available, and transfers can be arranged.

Catering

There's nothing better than nourishing meals when you're moving, breathing, walking, and switching off from the world. Each day you’ll enjoy:

A delicious vegetarian brunch and dinner
Seasonal fruit, nuts, fresh baguettes, tea, coffee & herbal infusions available all day

All meals are prepared with care and creativity to support your practice, rest, and wellbeing.

Yoga

Morning classes will be Mysore based with one led class and two afternoon workshops.

Beginners through to advanced students are welcome. Claire has been practicing yoga since her early twenties and teaching for over 15 years. She has completed the Ashtanga Advanced B series. Her approach is light and joyful.
