The Equinox Retreat ~ Lake Annecy, France
\
4th-7th September 2025
Lake Annecy, France
Immerse yourself in the serene beauty of Lake Annecy as you embark on a journey of balance, reflection, and renewal ahead of the Autumn Equinox.
Escape to the tranquil shores of France’s most stunning alpine lake, where crystal-clear waters meet breathtaking mountain vistas. Our Equinox Retreat offers a sanctuary for deep nourishment through yoga, meditation, breathwork, and holistic wellness practices.
This retreat is for honouring the shift in seasons and how we can honour the cycles of nature both outside and inside of us.
During our four days together, you will immerse yourself in a variety of yoga and wellness practices, time take to slow down, reconnect with nature, tune into yourself and connect with likeminded individuals.
Swim in the refreshing waters of the lake, savour delicious seasonal meals, and explore the charming town of Annecy. Through movement, stillness, creative expression, and sacred ritual, you will create space for renewal and transformation.
Please note: All levels are welcome on the retreat, you do not need to be an experienced yogi however you will get the most out of the retreat if you have practiced yoga before.
Our Venue
Nestled in the heart of Talloires-Montmin, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, France, this exquisite 18th-century family home offers lush gardens, open spaces, and serene mountain air for our retreat.
Situated only 30 minutes from Geneva Airport and perched on the serene shores of Lake Annecy, the property is set in a park spanning 10 hectares, providing space for relaxation and rejuvenation.
With stunning panoramic views of the lake and mountains, this home is all about tranquility. The large garden, towering trees, and peaceful surroundings make it the ideal place to slow down, breathe deeply, and soak in the natural beauty. Wake up to a panoramic view of the lake every morning.
Charming and Comfortable Spaces
Inside, the house blends historic charm with modern comfort. There’s plenty of space both indoors and outdoors to stretch, move, take some alone time or find your flow. Each room has its own unique charm, making it easy for everyone to feel at home. There’s a piano, table tennis and a rowing boat down in Talloires.
Close to Nature & Local Adventures
While the property feels secluded and peaceful, it’s just a 10 minute walk to the picturesque village of Talloires-Montmin and private lakefront dock. Whether you want to explore local cafés, take a dip in the lake, or hike in the surrounding mountains, there’s plenty to do if you’re up for a little adventure.
