About The Retreat
The Chateau is located in the heart of the vineyard countryside on a charming 18th-century estate in Southwest France. The private estate overlooks the quaint village of Andillac, offering seclusion and stillness, yet rich in history and culture. The grounds include an indoor and outdoor yoga shala, swimming pool, tennis court and zen garden to relax, unwind and recharge. The Region is well known for its enchanting medieval villages, castles, vineyards and breathtaking French countryside. The elegant Manoir Mouret and it’s barns were built in the 1850s by the village's master winemaker. So if you love your yoga with a cheeky side of vino you are in the right place. The Region produces some of the best wines and vineyards in the country. The chateau has 5 acres of land with mature trees, landscaped gardens and views over the surrounding countryside. At the heart of Manoir Mouret is a large organic potager with a variety of fruits and vegetables for the ultimate farm-to-table retreat! Meals on retreat will be served at large communal tables, with farm-to-table produce on the outdoor patio. Amaia uses fresh, locally sourced ingredients, primarily grown on-site or from her very own garden. This is the ultimate farm-to-table retreat, using seasonal produce to fuel your body and mind, with a French twist. Expect a buffet breakfast, a 2-course plated lunch, a 3-course plated dinner and a selection of teas and coffees. Our morning practices will be dynamic and awakening, yet accessible for all levels. Evening classes will bring balance, ease, and wholeness through slow and deep yin practices or sound healing baths. This retreat will guide you to rediscover your curiosity and zest for life, yet give you time to rest, freedom to explore and digest and drop into a state of deep relaxation.

The word for this retreat I keep coming back to is 'magic'. The team ensure you come away for feeling cared for and that your mind, body and soul have been nourished. I would encourage everyone to escape and invest in themselves with some of this magic!

Janet and Amy are amazing yogis, wonderful teachers and simply fantastic people. This retreat had everything I ever wanted and hoped: beautiful, mindful yoga practices and absolutely delicious Italian food. Nothing prepared me for the gift of the awesome community of incredible human beings with whom I shared that week. I am so thankful for every moment and wish it never ended.
