Yoga retreat in Mediterranean Occitanie

Yoga retreats in Mediterranean Occitanie: Cévennes, Aude and hinterland, between garrigue, rivers and perched villages.

Between the foothills of the Cévennes, the Aude valley, and the garrigue of the Languedocian hinterland, Mediterranean Occitania brings together what we are looking for to slow down: stone villages, cool rivers in summer, and a light that invites outdoor practice for a large part of the year. Retreats often take place in old farms or small, secluded estates, where yoga mixes with walking and simple local cuisine. It is a car destination rather than a train one: we move away from main roads to gain silence. Ideal in spring and early autumn, when the heat remains gentle and the trails are passable, it suits both experienced practitioners and those who want a real break, just a few hours from Toulouse or Montpellier.
