About the Retreat.
Living life in the slow lane is our focus for this yoga retreat experience! It’s time to welcome the summer, and what better way to welcome it than in southwest France where you can truly experience each day in the present moment. Give yourself some new inspiration, meet new people and enjoy relaxing wellness treatments to give your soul the boost it needs.
Imagine a relaxed haven of luxury design and atmosphere where you can breathe in the fresh air and feel your stresses melt away as you recline on the terrace. Renew yourself with morning and evening yoga, taste delicious and refreshing meals, learn more about your mind and body with a personalised yoga practice, and make wonderful memories.
Join us this June in the Lot Valley for this authentic French experience where we will be staying at Château de Cadrès for 5 days of timeless luxury.
The Wellness.
Your retreat will be hosted by founder of The Glowin’ Retreat, Harriet Cherry. A 350hr yoga teacher, Harriet will guide you throughout the daily rituals, including yoga, grounding and meditation, practiced throughout the 5 days of the retreat.
A lover of movement, her sessions allow you to fully connect your body and breath, finding a sense of meditation in motion by drawing awareness to the body’s senses. She knows how to adapt to the class, and connects with each person individually so that you can get the most out of your practice. During this escape, you will be guided through a variety of meditation & relaxation sessions to help you relax & draw further awareness to mind and body whereby you will step out into the forest to experience barefoot grounding, forest-bathing & breathwork.
Throughout your experience, you have the opportunity to discuss any questions you have about all aspects of the practice and personalising it to you. Whether it’s a specific posture or deepening your meditation, Harriet will be happy to guide you!
“I like my sessions to be a safe space; somewhere you can be comfortable with yourself, with zero judgment towards yourself or towards others. You’ll often hear a lot of laughter in my classes too!”Styles of Practice ~

The Sanctuary.
This hidden gem is set within 10 hectares of private parkland & forest, harnessing the tranquility required for an escape from the modern rush so that you can take a moment to breathe.
Château de Cadrès has been restored to its former glory, highlighting its unique architecture, and creating a soothing environment with its timeless design. A stunning studio overlooks the sequoia trees, growing beyond the South Terrace, where you can practice yoga and meditation twice a day.
Step out upon the terraces encircling Cadrès, and surround yourself with the breathtaking views of the rolling hills. Let your senses be lulled by the sweet perfumes of the fruit trees and herbs that grow about the gardens and let your morning strolls be guided by the birds. Between the activities of this retreat, you will have plenty of time to relinquish the daily rush of life by relaxing by the private pool, dozing under dappled shade of the trees, reading your favourite book on the terraces or playing a round of tennis as you bond with the other guests.
The Cuisine.
While you retreat with us, our chef will be in charge of nourishing your bodies with delicous cuisine. She certainly likes to make the table as colourful as possible using seasonal fruit and vegetables!
