Your home
The retreat will take place in a typical house from the South of France called a "mas" which used to be a farm, built in the 18th century. The space has been fully renovated over the last 20 years to become the perfect location for your yoga holiday. You will find plenty of space to relax; a large pool, patios, quiet rooms and a library area...
