A Women’s Yoga & Champagne Retreat in France

Champagne, France - September 21-26 2027

Life can get so full – of noise, of schedules, of expectations. Somewhere between the hustle, the caretaking, and the endless lists, the part of you that craves beauty, laughter, and connection gets buried under it all.

That’s why we created The Women’s Yoga & Champagne Retreat – a 5-night women’s getaway in the heart of France’s Champagne region designed to help you slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with your joy.

Each morning begins with yoga and movement on the beautiful chateau grounds. Each day invites you into the magic of this region; visiting world-renowned Champagne houses, savoring French cuisine, and experiencing moments of pure delight. Evenings are for long dinners, laughter, and connection – the kind that nourishes your soul as much as the delicious bubbles delights your spirit.

This isn’t about indulgence for indulgence’s sake-it’s about remembering what it feels like to truly live. To savor. To celebrate yourself.

You’re invited to toast to your next chapter – to trade burnout for beauty, busyness for balance, and ordinary days for something a little more sparkling. Join us in Champagne, France for a retreat that’s equal parts soul work and celebration-where luxury meets meaning, and every glass raised is a reminder that you are worth celebrating.

The Woman Ready to Savor Life Again

We designed this retreat for women who do so much for everyone else – the dreamers, doers, caretakers, and high-achievers who crave both peace and play. If you’ve been feeling stretched thin, if the spark that once lit you up feels dimmed by routine and responsibility, this is your invitation to refill your cup – literally and figuratively – in the heart of Champagne.
