Your Own Private Yoga Retreat

For years I’ve been hosting yoga retreats at truly some of the most beautiful yoga retreat venues in the world.

Think: a private château in the bucolic and rolling hills of the Bordeaux wine country or a remote and stunningly beautiful Italian villa in the heart of Tuscany, each with their own private swimming pools, gourmet chefs, day-trips to neighboring medieval villages, visits to vineyards, not to mention a week of yoga, meditation, and connecting with and making new friends. Truly, these experiences are exactly what a person needs for optimal wellbeing in body, mind, and spirit, especially after the last few years we’ve had. 

The only thing that could possibly be better than retreating to paradise and indulging in exquisite self-care while also delighting in all of your senses, is to do it with ALL of your best friends.

I’m serious, I want to invite you and your friends to your own PRIVATE yoga retreat in either France or Italy. Imagine: you and ALL of your best friends in the world celebrating your friendship together for a week at a private yoga retreat located at a French château or Italian villa. 

Do you have 10–15 friends or family members who would be in on this?

I’ll take care of all the details, just show up at the airport and I’ll take care of the rest, including food, lodging, yoga, meditation, day trips to nearby attractions, wine and olive oil tastings, and pick up and drop off from the airport.

Cost per person will be around $2495

This cost does not include your airfare and is still much less than you’d spend for a week in Italy or France on food and lodging alone, let alone all the other things that come with such an unforgettable trip. 

This would be perfect for a:

• Girls trip (bachelorette party!)

• Friends reunion

• Family reunion

• Work retreat

• Special group retreat (like a group of artists, administrators, or special needs)

Sometimes I must book these properties several months in advance. Contact me and let’s start planning right away!

I’ll need a commitment of a minimum of 10 people to book a location

Please read more about each offering and see the pictures below. Contact me at scott@scottmooreyoga.com to booking your private yoga retreat!

Italian Villa Tuscany,

Excursions to the Terranean Sea and pristine beaches can also be organized upon request.

Luxury Bordeaux Château

This is a beautiful, intimate, and remote property, perfect for friends to fill the entire retreat with 10–13 people.

Bonjour!

Join me for an unforgettable, luxury yoga retreat at Châteaux de Bardouly located in the lush, rolling vineyards of the Bordeaux region in south western France.

I look forward to gathering together and connecting body, mind, and spirit as we practice savoring this exquisite life through presence.

Details:

I’ve taken care of all the details, big and small, so you can relax, enjoy yourself, and have an experience that you’ll remember for the rest of your life.

We’ll meet at the Bordeaux-Mérignac airport. From there, our private transport will drive us through the region’s idyllic vineyards. We will arrive at the immaculately-restored Château de Bardouly where we will be warmly greeted with refreshing champagne or sparkling water.

Then, for six glorious days we’ll enjoy:

After the retreat our private transport will take us back to the airport on the morning of the last day of the retreat. By the end our six days together, you’ll feel invigorated, alive, nourished, and ready to savor the rest of your life!

Intention

My intention for this retreat is to awaken body, mind, and spirit in this breath-taking environment as we practice opening our awareness to our senses by living in the moment and savoring life. This retreat will remind you to pause and practice loving your life.

Whatever your ability or experience with yoga and meditation you’re welcome to this retreat! Together, we’ll explore movement, breath, and meditation through vinyasa yoga, restore yoga, Yoga Nidra, mindfulness meditation, and breath work. We will drink in the ripe and abundant nature of the region and breathe in each moment of this bouquet of life.

Château de Bardouly is a restored work of art with many stories to tell. Bardouly’s history dates back to 1580 when Henry IV ceded the land to the Gastebois family. For nearly 400 years this châteaux has remained with this family and has housed royalty, dignitaries, and even served as a hideout for allied forces during WWII. Artisans who designed parts of Versailles also built parts of Château de Bardouly. Bardouly’s current owners purchased it in 1999 and used local artisans to restore it to its deserved splendor. Many of the elements of the château are original.

Accommodations

Each room is stunningly beautiful and exquisitely comfortable. You’ll love the high thread-count Egyptian cotton linens, warm wood floors, armoire, chest of drawers, writing desk and comfy chairs for reading.

By construction, the temperature inside each room stays very comfortable during the summer.

All bathrooms are fitted with blow dryers, high quality bath towels and luxury soap. Pool towels are also provided.

Rooms are available as single or shared occupancy.
