BookAll 15 meals are included in the price—breakfast, lunch, and dinner—prepared on-site by a French private chef. The cuisine is colorful, seasonal, and heavily plant-based; the menus are developed in collaboration with a nutrition expert. Tea and coffee are available at all times. Please notify us in advance of any food intolerances or special dietary requests.
A typical day: Dynamic Yoga in the shala in the morning with a view of the plain, followed by breakfast at the large table. The afternoon is yours to enjoy, with no set schedule—swim in the pool, read in the shade of a cork or olive tree, take a walk across the plain, head to the coast (about 30 minutes away) for some surfing, or go for a leisurely horseback ride. In the late afternoon, attend a workshop or get an Ayurvedic massage (optional, for an additional fee). Yin Yoga at sunset, followed by dinner.
The three workshops on the program: Cooking with the head chef on Friday morning—everyone takes the recipe home; a writing workshop with journalist and author Géraldine Dormoy on Saturday; meditation & sound healing on Friday evening, while lying down.
