ENGLISH VERSION

Yoga. Ocean. Mental Clarity.

Your retreat on the Atlantic coast – with yoga, surfing & personal growth.

One week just for you: Start your day with yoga on the beach, find your focus through mental training, and feel the power of the ocean – whether you're surfing or simply relaxing.

Yoga & Mentaltraining Retreat
14.–19. September 2025 | Atlantic Coast/ near Bordeaux

During this special retreat week on the French Atlantic coast, you’ll experience a nourishing combination of yoga, surfing, mental training and true relaxation that strengthens you from within. You’ll begin with a welcome workshop to arrive and settle in, enjoy daily yoga sessions right at the beach, receive a personal mental coaching session, and have the option to dive into the waves with a local surf school.
In between, there’s plenty of space for what often falls short:
Time for yourself. Time to breathe, recharge and enjoy.
And time shared in a supportive community – during group dinners, while exploring the area, or simply with your feet in the sand.

Only 10 spots available!

THE LOCATION: LACANAU OCEAN / FRANCE
A true place to recharge – with a special kind of energy.

Lacanau Océan is more than just a holiday destination – it’s a place of energy and renewal.Three years ago, I unexpectedly ended up there – and it’s where I truly found myself again. In September, Lacanau shows its most beautiful side: the summer crowds are gone, but the vibrant coastal life remains – with cozy cafés, lovely restaurants, a relaxed beach promenade and endless space to breathe and just be.
You’ll find everything you need: a town beach right in the center and endless stretches of sand in both directions – perfect for long walks, morning runs or barefoot wanderings. There’s also a nearby lake and the famous Dune du Pilat just a short drive away.
I know the area well, have local connections, and will happily share tips for beautiful spots, cafés and typical French experiences. I’m sure you’ll feel the special energy of this place – just like I did.

UNTERKUNFT & ANREISE

ACCOMODATION
You organize your accommodation independently.
There are plenty of options for every budget – and since it’s off-season, availability is generally good. I’m happy to send you personal recommendations, as I know the area well and have good contacts with local hosts. I can also help you choose the best location so you’re close to both the yoga beach and the surf school.
If you’re coming as a group or with a friend, I can help arrange a holiday home for you.
And if you feel like it, several participants can also share a house together.

TRAVEL
Airport: The best airport is Bordeaux – about 1.5 hours from Lacanau (by bus or rental car).
By car: Lacanau is easy to reach and gives you flexibility for day trips in the area.
By train & bus: Travel to Bordeaux by train, then continue by bus to Lacanau.

Depending on arrival times:
If several participants arrive around the same time, I may be able to organize a pick-up or drop-off for 10 € per person and ride.

WHO’S GUIDING YOU?
I’m Colette – mental coach, sports psychologist, and yoga teacher.

For over 30 years, I’ve supported people in sports and personal development – with heart, experience, and a clear, grounded approach.
In my work, I combine depth, lightness and humor. You can expect a powerful mix of energizing morning flows, calming evening yoga, mental training, breathwork, meditation, visualizations – and even elements of yoga dance that bring joy and movement together.
I’m a certified sports psychologist and trained Hatha and Vinyasa yoga teacher, with additional training in breath and relaxation techniques.
My goal: to help you reconnect with your strength, let go of what no longer serves you, and fully enjoy your time-out by the ocean – physically, mentally and emotionally.

I’m looking forward to meeting you – and to sharing this special time with you!
