Yoga Adventure with Brent Laffoon
We are delighted that the first yoga retreat to be held at Chateau de Rosieres en Vivarais will be led by the wonderful Brent Laffoon in June 2022. Those of you who watch the UK television show Escape to the Chateau: DIY will have seen Brent travelling from Los Angeles to check out the early stages of work on our retreat centre in 2019. We’re happy to say that he loved it here and is as excited as us to return and share his inimitable style of yoga adventure with you at Chateau de Rosieres in 2022. See below for full details of the retreat!
Given the uncertainty caused by the current pandemic, we are not fixing absolute dates or prices, and not taking deposits at this time. Instead we ask you to sign up for this special waiting list. You will then be given exclusive access to booking, one week before we open it to the general public. The estimated date of the retreat is between mid-May and Mid-June, to be confirmed later in 2021.
NB: Signing up for this waiting list in no way obliges you to book and incurs no cost.
