French Riviera Yoga Retreat : art and sea inspiration
The Best of French Riviera : CAP D’ANTIBES
6 - 9 October 4 days & 3 nights
“Soleil d’or” French Riviera yoga retreat
Immersion into Yoga & Riviera luxury Art of Living
( our 6th retreat )
RÉSERVATION: EARLY BIRD
Where the sky meets the sea, at the heart of the legendary Cap d’Antibes, we invite you to a retreat unlike any other — held in one of the most iconic five-star hotels on the Riviera.
This retreat is an invitation to fully experience the softness of the French Riviera — through embodied practices, discoveries of the most magic places and a gentle dive into riviera art atmosphere and happiness ( Cap d’ Antibes, Saint -Paul- de- Vence and Lérins Islands)
A place steeped in history, once a haven for artists, writers, and visionary leaders. A sanctuary of beauty where the Mediterranean inspires every breath, and where elegance and soulfulness meet.
Each morning, we will practice yoga facing the sea, gently awakened by golden sunlight and the rhythmic sound of the waves.
One of the highlights of this retreat will be a journey to the Lérins Islands, just across from Cannes. On the serene and sacred island of Saint-Honorat, inhabited solely by Cistercian monks, we will immerse ourselves in a silent outdoor practice — surrounded by ancient pines, timeless stones, and the infinite blue horizon.
We will also dive into the rich cultural soul of the Côte d’Azur: a visit to the Picasso Museum in Antibes, a sensory stroll through the art-filled streets and famous art foundations of Saint-Paul-de-Vence, and moments of shared joy around exquisite local cuisine — sun-drenched, refined, and full of life.
During this retreat you will immerse yourself in the golden softness of the sun and the timeless elegance of the Côte d’Azur and you will gently reconnect with your state of joy and abundance.
Program :
Each day offers a gentle step toward reconnecting with your joy —through our yoga practices and inspiring and joyful riviera experience.
Each morning begins gently, with a breathwork and meditation session followed by a complete yoga practice (around 1 hour and 30 minutes), facing the sea — in this unique and exquisite setting on the Cap d’Antibes.
After breakfast, you’ll enjoy a curated program of local and cultural experiences, from exploring hidden corners of the area to visiting artistic and historical landmarks that make the French Riviera so rich in soul and inspiration.
In the evening, we will gather again for a meditative or restorative yoga practiced, to unwind, to integrate, and to return gently to your inner stillness.
