Your cocooning stay in Burgundy
The location
Your accommodation 25 minutes from Mâcon
An inspiring home in the heart of nature, nestled in an enchanting location in the Burgundy countryside . At the dawn of winter, when the flamboyant colors of autumn adorn the landscape in warm hues, this unique place redefines the codes of hospitality with a poetic, eco-responsible approach resolutely focused on well-being.
The bright, comfortable rooms are divided between two carefully renovated authentic houses. Each room blends natural materials, antique furniture, designer touches and the softness of the past. And when the days get cooler, the fireplace gently crackles, adding a comforting, enveloping warmth to the atmosphere. Here, no screens, just books, silence, soft lighting and enveloping French bedding. An atmosphere designed for slowing down and refocusing.
The vibrant heart of the place? A beautifully converted barn bathed in light, transformed into a yoga space where wood, stone and calm create an ideal setting for practice. Outside, a sauna extends the benefits of the sessions, inviting you to let go even more deeply.
And for those looking for an even more immersive experience, LumiPod's top-of-the-range circular hut, delicately positioned opposite the meadow, offers a cocoon of glass and wood facing the bocage. At dawn, the first rays filter through the rounded bay window; in the distance, a few sheep graze peacefully. An ode to contemplation, this refuge invites you to sleep, dream and breathe.

Who is this yoga retreat for?
This is a mixed holiday
It is accessible to all
This retreat is designed for those looking to slow down, create and breathe differently. You don't need to be a yoga expert or a ceramist at heart: all you need is the desire to treat yourself to a gentle, aligned and warm break. A suspended moment before winter, to recharge your energy and creativity.
Atmosphere: Intimate, creative, warm, conducive to slow, simple, real connections.
The spirit of the stay: An autumn cocoon combining movement, craftsmanship, reconnection with nature and simple pleasures. Soothe, explore, create - and leave nourished in every way.
Ceramic workshops
Take the time to create with your hands, to reconnect with your sensibility, to shape matter as you shape an intention.
During your stay, you'll take part in two ceramics workshops led by the creator of Minuit Céramique, a committed and poetic workshop based in Beaune. Their gentle, intuitive approach invites you to slow down and reconnect with the simple beauty of the gesture.
You'll learn to shape clay by hand, without a lathe, using accessible, soothing techniques: pinched shaping, colombins, plates... You'll be able to create cups, plates, imagine handles, add your own decorations, compose a unique little service, made from your shapes, your desires, your rhythm.
What's included :
The clay, all the necessary tools, high-temperature firing, glazing with a glossy finish for a solid, luminous finish.
And of course... your creations, which you'll receive after the retreat, once they've been carefully fired and glazed.
"A tangible souvenir to take home, as a sensitive trace of what you experienced during those few days."
Your chef on site
Emeric, your host, will be in the kitchen during your stay. He cooks with delicate attention, a lot of love and a real eye for detail. Each plate tells a story, and reflects the spirit of the place: generous, authentic and deeply human.
The cuisine is sustainable, seasonal and rustic. The products used come from the garden, local markets or committed producers in the region. On the menu: simple, tasty dishes, carefully simmered to comfort the body and nourish the soul.
Vegetarian meals will be served after your yoga sessions, to prolong the benefits of the practice.
