The 5 Elements Yoga Retreat
Bordeaux, France
July 4-10, 2026
Join us for a transformative week of yoga immersion and elemental connection in the breathtaking Bordeaux Wine Region.
Go inward with daily yoga, hands-on creativity workshops, local wine country exploration, plenty of time for rest, and enriching community connection.
Throughout the week, we'll embrace the five elements as our guide—earth, water, fire, air, and space—to align our inner rhythms with nature's cycles, using the backdrop of France's ancient winemaking traditions as living metaphors for transformation.
Praise
What others are saying about retreats:
"I recently attended the “Move into Stillness” Catskills Yoga Retreat, and it exceeded my expectations. What truly stood out is the holistic approach to the planning of the retreat. The schedule was perfectly balanced, allowing ample time for yoga, relaxation, reflection, and free time that some of us used to explore the beautiful Catskills on a scenic hike. The meals were also thoughtfully Ayurvedic, so nourishing, and energizing. The yoga sessions Helene led were well-planned and crafted, with options that suited both beginners and more experienced practitioners. I left feeling inspired, rejuvenated, and at peace. I wholeheartedly recommend this retreat to anyone looking for a transformative and rejuvenating experience!"
-Rachelle Vertenten, Retreat Participant
"The retreat was an incredible blend of thoughtful teaching, delicious food, and an amazing group energy. One of the highlights was the beautiful music—Helene sang and played the harmonium, adding an extra layer of magic to the experience. Helene curated a beautifully balanced and integrated curriculum that went far beyond physical asana. Everything was thoughtfully connected, allowing us to deepen our practice in a meaningful way. [...] And the food! It was absolutely exceptional—nourishing, healthy, and delicious, all thanks to the amazing chef who beautifully complemented the retreat’s mindful and healthy approach. Above all, I felt truly cared for by Helene, who went out of her way to ensure that each of us had a fulfilling and meaningful experience. "
-Linda Machuca, Retreat Participants
"I had the pleasure to partake in Hélène's Moving Into Stillness yoga retreat in October 2024. Hélène did everything to make us feel comfortable and pampered. All was set up so the arrival, the stay, the balance between activities and free time would give us a sense of calm, peace and beauty. Yoga classes were (as always) great, a few intense and others very restorative and meditative. The food was wonderful and full of love and discovery. The location was gorgeous and we had nice walks in nature. We came back home much restored and with more friends."
