Pricing from €1740 per person
6 NIGHT WOMEN'S YOGA RETREAT EXPLORING CONNECTION, MOVEMENT, AND THE QUIET RHYTHM OF LIFE IN THE FRENCH ALPS.
Nestled in the quiet mountain village of Fontaines Naves in the Tarentaise Valley, this retreat invites you to slow down and settle into the rhythm of the French Alps. Surrounded by sweeping mountain views and fresh alpine air, the week offers space to breathe deeply, reconnect with yourself, and enjoy the simple beauty of alpine village life.
THE EXPERIENCE
Our home for the week is Chalet Savoie Faire, a beautifully restored mountain barn turned alpine lodge and cookery school, hosted by Nikki Shields Quinn and her husband Hugh. With more than 30 years of experience in hospitality and life in the Alps, they welcome guests with warmth, generosity, and incredible food.
Each day unfolds with breath-led yoga, nourishing vegetarian meals, mountain walks, local wine, and time to rest or explore the valley—simple alpine pleasures shared in a beautiful and welcoming setting.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Mornings begin slowly with coffee or tea, followed by a short walk to the yoga studio as the mountains wake around us. After a gentle, breath-led practice, we return to the chalet for a beautiful, nourishing brunch shared around the table.
Afternoons are spacious and unhurried. You might explore local hiking trails, take a cold dip in the alpine river, wander through the village, or simply relax in the mountain air. One day we’ll also visit the local market to experience everyday life in the valley.
Evenings bring a slower yin and restorative practice to help the body unwind, followed by a decadent dinner at the chalet where good food, conversation, and a glass of wine close the day.
THE CHALET
Chalet Savoie Faire is a stunning luxury mountain lodge that blends rustic alpine charm with thoughtful comfort. Special attention has been paid to creating a deeply restful environment so guests can fully recharge.
Each room features:
• Quality bed linens
• 100% wool bed toppers
• Feather duvets and a selection of pillows
After a day in the mountains, there is nothing better than settling into a cozy bed and waking up to fresh alpine air and expansive valley views.
THE FOOD
This region of France is renowned for its exceptional food culture and culinary traditions. Meals at the chalet celebrate seasonal ingredients, simple preparation, and the joy of sharing food together.
The retreat menu is primarily vegetarian and inspired by the flavors of the French Alps, with beautiful local cheeses and eggs included throughout the week. All meals are thoughtfully prepared by Nikki using fresh, high-quality ingredients.
Dietary restrictions can be easily accommodated—just let us know when booking.
Evenings often end gathered around the table with delicious food, good conversation, and a glass of wine.
