The Experience
Log fires and a sauna to sweat out whatever the year has left you carrying. Crisp countryside walks that make you feel alive again. Four days built around daily yoga, seasonal food and unwinding with evening Yin sessions, alongside an incredible group of likeminded women.
Meet Your Teacher
Hilary Vuillemin
Irish-born Hilary has called France home for more than two decades. A yoga teacher, Reiki practitioner, and certified Breathwork coach, she loves bringing out the best in everyone who walks through her studio door. Warm, encouraging, and full of positive energy, Hilary has a smile that's truly contagious.
During the retreat, Hilary will guide you through energizing morning Vinyasa and slower, unwinding evening Yin practices. She'll also help those who want to deepen their practice during optional Asana Labs, exploring inversions, arm balances, and alignment.
This will be Hilary's third retreat with Leyana, following sold-out retreats in Normandy in 2025 and Sologne in May 2026. With over half of her participants coming back for more, it's a lovely reflection of the quality of her teaching and the warm, welcoming atmosphere she creates.
Set in the French countryside, roughly 2 hours from Paris by car. Leave early on a Friday and you'll be there in time for the afternoon.

"It all started with a text from Pam: 'You should do a retreat, and I'll help you organize it.' That one message turned into one of the best partnerships I've had.
Watching Leyana Retreats take off, with multiple retreats already lined up for 2027, has been genuinely exciting. Pam is a brilliant host, a fearless and savvy organizer, and a true friend, she turns work into fun! Cannot wait to see where we take this next."
