ROOTED & WILD
South of France Retreat
9th-14th September 2025
Join us on our Rooted & Wild Yoga Retreat to end the summer season together. Endings are really beginnings.
Drawing inspiration from our very own Wild Roots philosophy, our rooted and wild retreat blends the sacred with the every day, embracing every part of life for the perfect balance - practice, connection, pleasure, play, rest and introspection, who says that we can’t have it all…
We believe that all of these elements are integral to our journey, allowing us to experience the fullness of life, both the rooted and wild -without having to choose one over the other.
During the retreat, we explore mindful rituals that nourish the mind, body, and soul, that you can incorporate into your life - long after the retreat ends too.
This retreat offers you the sacred opportunity to deepen your yoga practice and connection to yourself , by stepping away from distractions and the business of life, with everything intentionally planned for you to find presence, unwind, and soothe your nervous system.

Nurturing you
Intentionally curated for you

South of France, Côte D'Azur; The most delightful place full of soul, wine, bread, and the best pastries.
Our villas are in a private gated estate between Sainte Maxime and Port Grimaud. They boast incredible panoramic views over the luscious green hills and the gulf of St Tropez.
Enjoy the balance of the calm and peaceful villa whilst being so close to towns, shops and restaurants... it really is the perfect spot.
-
Our villa is in Sainte-Maxime, 1.5hr Drive from Nice airport
Fly into Nice Airport: Return flights are around £80 return, if you book early!
There are three options from Nice to the Villa:
Share an Uber/Taxi Direct from £100-£150
Group Van - £50pp there & back
Get a train from Nice to Saint-Raphaël, then get a taxi or Uber from there. (Around £50 estimate)
For a lower budget/scenic route there is a slightly longer journey. Train from Nice to Fréjus, then the 876 bus to ‘Plage Les Cigales’
(More information about this will be shared once you have booked, so please don’t hesitate to ask)
We put everyone in a group chat plenty of time before the retreat so you can organise travel together if you wish, split cab fares etc!
-
We practice Yoga 2-3 times per day, starting with our morning practice which is a 90 minutes vinyasa-style practice, of asana, breathwork, meditation, mantra, embodiment and somatics.
We usually then have a workshop offering during the day, often with a particular theme or tailored to the group at the time and their desires.
These could be anything from journalling sessions, headstand/arm balance or backbend workshops, to building your at home practice etc.
The evening practice is always a grounding and nurturing practice, either yin, nidra, restorative, breath-work & or meditation.
Our retreat and yoga practices are open level intentionally created to be both beneficial and nurturing for everyone. Whether you are a complete 'beginner' and haven't practiced much, to if you have a longer dedicated practice, we want you here. You are welcome just as you are...no one ever started anything being the greatest right away, plus, that is not what the practice of yoga is about.
So please join, come as you are, and let us support you in your journey... I promise this is the best place to start.

Food is very important to us, the right fuel to feel nourished, supported and fuelled for life. Food is fundamental for mental, physical and soul growth.
Our food varies based on the country, cultures, and produce available.
On our France retreat we have a fantastic private chef cooking us up a variety of delicious foods for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
This retreat we offer mostly vegetarian/vegan with optional fresh fish some evenings at dinner.
Wine you asked... well this retreat is extra special...why??
Well, when in France how can we not have wine... some evenings at dinner we have a delightful rosé from a local vineyard.
Move, Nourish & Connect
During this retreat, all practices are thoughtfully designed to be accessible to individuals of all levels, while also offering profound healing benefits. Together, we will cultivate an environment that feels safe, allowing each practice to be a gateway for you to delve deeper into self-exploration and discovery.
'We arent here to feel better, we are here to get better at feeling’ - Gabor Mate.
Adding to that, we aren’t here to fix anything, were here to support you in remembering that you don’t need to be fixed.
Our philosophy at Wild Roots is to offer, share and support through the tools and practices of ancient wisdom, our embodied experience and community, to empower you to navigate and transcend limiting self-beliefs, old patterns, and unhelpful habits that hold you back from living your life to the fullest potential. This transformative journey will enable us to embrace the joy in being, and lead more fulfilling lives.
Classes will be a mixture of nourishing embodied movement (both gentle and dynamic), breath work, meditation, mantra and journaling. With each practice ending in deep intentional rest and glorious lavender shoulder and head massages. How yummy!
Room Options
We have two delightful villas next to one another in Sainte Maxime overlooking the gulf of St Tropez. Both of which you will have access to.
The main villa will be the ‘hosting villa’ where the beautiful infinity pool is situated, as well as where we will hold most of the yoga practices and meals together. The second villa is a 3 minute walk and just as beautiful with an incredible view of the coastline.
The rooms that you can choose are split between these two villas, and each bedroom has either an en-suite or its own dedicated bathroom, so you’d only be sharing with whoever you share a room with. You have access to both villas at all times but can of course take yourself off for some peaceful alone time.
Payment plans are available, after the deposit to secure your spot.
Disclaimer: Not all rooms have a sea view, these will be given on a first come first booked basis. So book early if you want the best views!

There will be something for everyone and each class you have the option to be challenged or to soften and restore.
The retreat is a co-creation and we base everything we do around the group and tailor it to your needs, so feel free to reach out with requests and questions too.
