What it's about
Les Echappées d'hiver – Horizons is a women's retreat weekend led by Cécile Hérault, a yoga teacher who also teaches Thai massage for the Lulyani school. It is a yoga retreat, not a Thai massage course. The organiser describes it as an invitation to set down what weighs on participants after a demanding year and to end the year differently, in a place surrounded by nature.
The programme runs from Friday evening to Sunday afternoon. It opens with a welcome from 17:00 and an opening circle, and continues with morning meditation, a walk or aqua Pilates, yin and restorative yoga, a session on "drawing one's own horizon line", an evening of storytelling, a collective flow class and yin yoga with myofascial release, before a closing circle on Sunday afternoon. Meals and free time are part of each day.
The weekend is for women. It takes place from 4 to 6 December 2026 at the Domaine du Puy Doré in Sainte-Cécile in the Vendée. The price depends on the room: €530 for a single room, €471 for a double room and €441 for a quadruple room. Registration is online via the organiser's booking page.
