Frequently Asked Questions

This dedicated environment allows for open sharing, relaxation, and full immersion in the experience without external distractions.
 

2. When is the best time to attend a retreat?

Many participants find the second and early third trimesters ideal, as they can fully benefit from the movement, mindfulness, and birth preparation sessions.

No, our prenatal yoga sessions are suitable for all levels, from beginners to experienced practitioners. Modifications are provided to ensure comfort and safety.

Each day includes guided prenatal yoga, breathwork, birth preparation workshops, relaxation practices, nourishing meals, and free time to rest or explore. The schedule is thoughtfully designed to balance learning, movement, and relaxation.

5. What kind of food is served, and can I bring my own?

We provide wholesome, plant-based meals designed to nourish you and your baby, using fresh, organic ingredients to support your well-being during pregnancy.

Our goal is to ensure you feel comfortable and well-nourished throughout your stay!​

6. Is airport transportation included?

Airport transfers are not included in the retreat price. Since our guests travel from different countries and land at various airports, transfer costs vary. We also recognize that some guests may wish to extend their stay and explore beautiful nearby cities such as Bergerac, Bordeaux, or Toulouse. For these reasons, we leave transportation arrangements flexible so that each guest can choose the best option for their journey. We are happy to provide guidance on travel options if needed.

We recommend bringing comfortable clothing, swimsuit and any personal items that help you feel at ease.
