Le Mas Du Figuier (The House of Figs) Yoga and Wellbeing Retreat

with Rebecca Bieraugel and Nicki Merali

(Sponsored Listing)

Join Becky and Nicki in a magnificent 9-bedroom, French farmhouse, situated just outside the walls of the stunning medieval village of Vézénobres, 30 min drive from Nimes international airport and just over an hour to Montpellier airport.

Our group stays for 4 nights at the beautiful villa, which has its own swimming pool, light-filled yoga studio and lots of private areas to relax and unwind. Up on the hill the small town of Vezenobres is a delightful place to explore.

The Yoga

We come together in the morning to practice. Classes run for around 90 minutes with the option to drop into the shala early to ground, meditate or just relax. Some evening restorative classes will be offered depending on day trips and timings. Classes are designed to suit our guests and are inspired by the season’s energy. Our autumn retreat is more grounding, with a deep sense of going inwards and nourishing ourselves. We encourage our guests to take what they need from the time spent on the mat and to use their body’s wisdom and intuition to guide their personal practice.

The Food

We take our food seriously on our retreats! We feel it is as much part of the yoga as the time we spent on our mats. Therefore, we like to add a big dollop of soul onto your spoons! How we feed ourselves affects our bodies, minds and the environment around us so we take care to only cook with the best local ingredients. We design our ayurvedic inspired menus according to the season and offer up an array of flavour packed vegetarian and vegan meals that will nourish and hopefully inspire. Breakfast, afternoon tea and a hearty supper are all included but we recommend you explore all the wonderful cafes and restaurants for lunch. We also provide a picnic lunch and an opportunity to check out local restaurants on our optional day trips.
