COTE D’AZUR
Like the practice of yoga itself, the South of France is a union of the best of all possibilities. The sparkle of the Riviera meets the ruggedly serene foothills of the Alps. Nature and society synchronize. Everything is beautiful. Known as the region “Alpes-Maritimes”, our side of paradise is both accessible and magical. It is no secret that Matisse, Picasso and many more of the great artists of the West settled nearby to live in the scintillating light that permeates the experience of living on the Côte D’Azur. Our job is to cut through all the tourist pitfalls to offer you the real. Imagine one of the world’s most sought-after locales - now imagine you’re visiting old friends.
THE LUX VILLA
The LUX Villa is a 3-level 10,000 square foot private luxury home outfitted to support the services of a boutique hotel. Views over the foothills of Provence stretch from the Bay of Nice to the Harbor of Cannes and beyond. The villa recalls time when construction was an art and space was to be quietly shared. Each room has unique and memorable characteristics and thus rates vary.
The structure of the villa breaks down the walls between us. Instead of tourists at a resort, we are family in a luxury villa with an impeccably trained staff that supports us on a journey of connection, vacation, reflection and growth. Open architecture brings panoramic views that stretch from the bay of Nice to the harbor of Cannes into the living experience.
Mas is the traditional name for a French farmhouse and ours has been family owned since 1999 when it was extensively renovated to open the space, blending modern luxury with the found beauty of the classical masonry. The villa boasts one of the great views of the region. Because the land between us and the coastline is protected, we gaze upon pristine nature to the edge of the Mediterranean and beyond. Unique to the South of France is the ethereal feeling of being so very much away from it all but at the same time within arms-reach of the glamour of the riviera cities and the bucolic wonder of Provence. When the retreats are over each season and I have the chance to settle down by the pool or on my favorite terrace sofa, I am awed by the shifting beauty of nature and the restorative power of clean air and endless views.

CUISINE
We all dine together and food matters to me. A lot. Organic, seasonal, local - all that goes without saying. Eating is a sacred pleasure that represents love of life. Here, you will love life because of how you eat. You will savor ingredient-driven cuisine fit for the great dining rooms of the world at a communal table overlooking the Mediterranean coast. You might wear heals or a hoodie to dinner but regardless of how you dress you will be nourished by fresh, local products and immerse in a lifestyle of balance that can’t be bought off a shelf.
We don’t do diets - instead, you will develop criteria and practice a foundational Ayurvedic principle: enjoy your food and how it makes you feel. You will learn to pick your spots and understand why we have a gluten-free menu with bread on the table. You will have your individual dietary needs exceeded, savor three sublimely healthy meals daily and restorative juices after every class. There will always be enough to support both your practice and your love of fine food.




















EXCURSIONS
On two afternoons during your retreat you will have the option to join an excursion to one of our favorite spots. Selections are based on the seasons, places we love, and what we’re into at the moment. Expect one culturally-themed afternoon and another that gives you a peek into the natural beauty that surrounds us.
