Are you intrigued by the idea of spending 6 days / 5 nights in the French Countryside practicing yoga, meditating and enjoying delicious food & wine? Join Betty and Jamie at Chateaux Bardouly in the heart of the Bordeaux region of France in May 2023. We will slow down, and enjoy mornings in the countryside doing yoga, meditating, sipping coffee and enjoying classic French breakfasts. In the afternoons, we will explore the Medieval cobble stone streets of nearby towns, extraordinary castles and sample the delicious foods and wines the region is famous for. Most days we will have a second yoga class in the afternoon. Additionally, we will visit Plum Village, the largest international practice center and first monastic community founded by the Zen Master Thich That Hanh in the west for a day spent observing and participating in mindfulness and cultivation of joy practices.
Where will this take place: Chateaux Bardouly in the heart of the Bordeaux region of France. You may fly into Bordeaux or land in Paris and take a train to Bordeaux.
