13-18th April 2026

✨

Treat yourself to a rare experience: a holistic journey designed to rekindle your vitality, soothe your mind, and help you deeply understand your inner workings through Ayurveda.
An inner adventure woven from traditional practices, sacred rituals, and truly personalized guidance.

Before you even set foot in Brittany, your journey begins with two months of guided support (February–March) to prepare your body and mind. Through Ayurveda, you’ll learn to read your constitution, identify your real needs, and adopt the practices that genuinely support you—especially during transitional periods, such as the shift from winter to spring, often more challenging than it seems.

Then come 6 days of small-group immersion, allowing you to experience profound transformation in a preserved natural setting, ideal for quietude, regeneration, and integration.

On the program:
Yoga, meditation, prānāyāma, mantras, fire and water rituals guided by trained practitioners, Ayurveda workshops, Swedish sauna, spring-water pool, ayurvedic massages, satsang evenings, and spacious moments of silence to let what needs to emerge arise naturally.

A complete, coherent, and deeply human experience—designed to help you know yourself better, rebalance your energy, and welcome the renewal of spring with greater clarity, stability, and momentum.

Only 10 places available, for an intimate retreat where every participant is genuinely supported.

Your passionate teacher

Over twenty years ago, Céline discovered yoga at a time when life seemed to be moving too fast. What started as a simple practice soon became a sanctuary — a place where the breath soothed, the body loosened, and the mind found clarity. This profound encounter quietly revealed a truth: yoga would be a part of her life… and in time, she felt the calling to share its gift with others.

Trained in the tradition of Krishnamacharya (Eka Yoga Institute – RYS500 Yoga Alliance & French Yoga Institute), Céline immersed herself deeply in the study of postures, breathwork, mantras, and Vedic chanting. She came to understand that yoga is not just a discipline, but a powerful path of transformation. Her ongoing studies — including guided meditations (Joe Dispenza, François Lemay, Christophe André, Thich Nhat Hanh, Zen tradition), Ayurveda, Indian mythology, and Qi Gong — continue to enrich both her practice and her teaching.

Céline offers gentle, open, and accessible yoga, suitable for everyone regardless of age or physical ability, with thoughtful adaptations for each student. She welcomes every participant with the same intention: to create a safe and nurturing space where the body is listened to, the mind is soothed, and each person can progress at their own pace. In private sessions, she guides step by step, building personalized practices that support both subtle and profound transformations.

For this retreat, Céline has designed and coordinated a program that reflects her passions: the power of community, the wisdom of traditions, and the magic of Brittany’s natural landscape. She is occasionally joined by expert teachers and therapists whose skills further enrich the experience.

“Yoga has taught me to see the beauty in everyday life, to breathe in the midst of storms, and to find the strength to navigate life’s challenges. My wish is to share these precious teachings, so they may illuminate your life as they have illuminated mine.”
— Céline

“Celine and Jehanne are wonderful yoga teachers – skilled in understanding one’s individual needs and expectations and customising an appropriate practice that works best to support mind and body.  This is the best yoga guidance i have ever had.” –

Bérengère (Yoga & Méditation retreat Mai 2021)

It was my first yoga retreat in Portugal with YOGA-WAYS — a unique inner experience I had been dreaming of for quite some time. Céline and Joséphine prepared these five days beautifully, in a setting that absolutely enchanted me. I let myself be completely carried and guided into a world I didn’t know yet. I recharged, rested, and replenished myself.

I loved the yoga sessions, the meditation, the vegan cuisine, the hot bath, the 5:30 a.m. meditation, the massage, my reading time, the hosts at Essencia, the atmosphere… I will definitely be back!

“Un immense merci pour votre organisation parfaite.
Une retraite yoga axée sur la spiritualité et la meditation, une ambience très zen dans un lieu magique, a refaire sans hésitation!” –

Catherine (Participante à Bali en 2017, 2018, 2019)

“j’ai tiré beaucoup de choses positives de ma retraite à vos côtés: je suis rentrée fraîche dans ma tête, vigoureuse et joyeuse.”

Stephanie (Participante en 2018)

“Votre cours de yoga/méditation est une belle invitation au voyage intérieur…. On se laisse porter en douceur vers l’harmonisation, on apprend a écouter son corps, a mieux gérer son stress!! Meilleure respiration…une sensation de légèreté!
Je vous remercie pour votre enseignement, votre rayonnement contagieux!
Un très bon équilibre parmi les activités et les temps de pause… Ubud un endroit ideal pour une retraite,  le logement un petit paradis! En joignant les deux mains a hauteur de mon coeur, je vous remercie toutes les deux. Namaste !” –  

Louisa (Participante en 2017)

“Je vis ma vie à 100 a l’heure en faisant tout dans l’urgence. Cette retraite de Yoga au cœur des rizières de Bali m’a permis de me poser, de me recentrer. Caler mes mouvements sur mon souffle n’a pas été facile au départ, j’ai même un peu lutté : puis très vite j’ai senti mon esprit s’apaiser, mon corps se détendre et se ressourcer. De là est sortie une belle énergie mais plus calme, et plus canalisée que d’habitude. Sur mon tapis, en faisant les exercices , j’ai pris conscience de de ma façon de fonctionner et cela m’a ouvert à l’univers des possibles. Merci les filles pour votre générosité, votre spiritualité, et tout ce que vous m’avez permis de comprendre.” –  

Why a Yoga, Ayurveda & Meditation Retreat in Brittany? Is it truly right for me?

Whether you’re a dedicated practitioner or a beginner already feeling the benefits of Yoga, a retreat offers you something invaluable: the chance to step away from daily routines, responsibilities, and constant demands. It’s a window of time just for you — a space where your body and mind can reset, breathe again, and rediscover their natural creativity. We all need this from time to time.

Our retreats are unique, transformative, and joyfully grounded. They are designed to support your personal growth while offering a nurturing, uplifting environment.

Drawing from the full spectrum of Yoga tools — postures, breathwork, mudrās, mantras — as well as workshops rooted in the foundational texts of yogic philosophy (primarily the Yoga Sūtras and Vedic teachings), we offer you a thoughtful and inspiring framework to explore, reflect, and move forward on your inner path.
