Location
​
The charming villa of Bastide Avellanne dates back to the 17th century. It is set in a private park of three hectares, where olive trees and old oaks blend with the perfumes of lavender and rosemary to create an exclusive Mediterranean paradise.
International airports, Nice and Marseille, are just 1 hour and 15 minutes away.
​
It is only 30 minutes to the Cote D'Azur, with its white sandy beaches, rocky capes and wild bays.
​
Cuisine
​
Delicious vegetarian meals are all lovingly prepared with fresh, local and organic produce.
You'll feast on traditional Provençal flavours with a twist of French, Italian and Mediterranean styles.
Dine al fresco under the leafy pergola or on the oak-shaded veranda while sampling a selection of local and regional French wines.
​
And now for the best bit - your three yummy main meals a day are included in the price. Ooh la la!
​
Things to see and do
​
The entire local area exudes a rich architectural and cultural heritage. Add arts, culture, and natural beauty to your retreat experience by exploring gorgeous beaches, hiking trails, medieval villages, chateaux and markets bursting with local produce and exotic spices.
​
We'll go by boat on an adventure to the pretty island of Porquerolles, situated on the chic French Riviera.
​
At the villa itself, there is a swimming pool, a giant chess table, a tennis court and mountain bikes.
​
The region's exceptional natural light and vibrant colours have inspired many great artists. Will you be next? Be sure to bring along your camera and paints.
​
Transformational mini-workshops
​
Recharge and refocus with the help of thought-provoking mini-workshops. Learn how to create a life that is more fulfilling and aligned with you.
We'll focus on three themes:
1. Clarity – get clear on what you want and how to live a life filled with greater purpose and meaning.
2. Confidence – learn how to empower yourself and break free from fears that are holding you back.
3. Connection – connect with your inner guidance and best self, whilst deepening your connection with others and the world around you.
​
Yoga and meditation
There will be yoga and meditation daily.
Classes are open to all levels, from beginner to intermediate. No previous experience required.
​
The main yoga style will be Rajadhiraja Yoga (“the yoga of the king of kings”). It's a dynamic yoga and an all-round systematic and scientific process for developing your body, mind, and soul.
​
Classes will be outdoors, surrounded by beautiful nature. Depending on the weather, there is also a calming indoor yoga space.

"Coaching with Jenny was a life line for me. It came at the right time when I needed someone to focus me on my goals. Jenny guided me with compassion and care, helping me to challenge how I was feeling in a positive way."
– Jean Rogers, NHS
"Maria helped me navigate through a sea of external pressures and personal expectations to rediscover the things that are truly meaningful and fulfilling for me. She helped me work through a number of deep-rooted blockers that have hindered me throughout most of my life."
– Dave, U.S.
​
​
"I reached out to Maria when I was in desperate need of guidance in my life. I felt like something was missing, almost having a feeling of walking the wrong path. Since I could not make sense of my own feelings, I started to feel “stuck” and an anxiety inside of me was growing every day. Maria helped me to gather my thoughts, to be more connected to myself and to figure out why I was feeling “stuck”. I realized that I was not living the life I wanted, rather the life I had pictured me to have. Based on this, I was able to take action. Live your life, you only live once."
– Sara, Sweden
​
​
"I had my first yoga class with Maria in a very stressful period of my life. Maria's yoga is incredibly relaxing, comfortable and prestigeless. It really feels ok to come just as you are and to put the yoga at a level that works for you that day. Her calm and warm charisma really makes the class pleasurable from start to finish. I hope I get to do many more of Maria's classes in the future!"
– Malin, Sweden
