St Martin de Re, Ile de Re. France

A Return to Balance, A Renewal of Spirit
After the magic of our first Sun & Moon Retreat, we’re returning to the island that stole our hearts — the luminous Île de Ré, France — for Sun & Moon 2.0, an elevated journey of yoga, connection, and renewal.
In May 2026, we go deeper. Over six days and five nights, join Charlie and Max for a soulful immersion designed to realign body, mind and energy. Our intention is to honour the rhythm of the sun and moon — the dance between action and stillness, light and shadow — as we move, breathe and explore together in this French paradise.
The Experience
Our days follow the island’s natural rhythm — rising with energising Ashtanga Vinyasa and Hatha Vinyasa practices that strengthen, balance and awaken. Evenings invite you to soften with Yin and Hatha Chill sessions designed to release tension and invite deep calm.
Complementing these practices are guided meditations, breathwork, and transformative sound experiences — including a deeply restorative Gong Bath, designed to harmonise body and mind through vibration and stillness. Each element has been thoughtfully woven to support a complete sense of wellbeing.
Island Magic
The Île de Ré is a haven of understated beauty — sun-dappled beaches, quiet pine groves, and postcard-perfect villages where time seems to slow. Its salt marshes, vineyards and winding cycle paths create a backdrop of peace and inspiration, inviting you to reconnect with yourself and the natural world.
Stroll the cobbled streets of Saint-Martin-de-Ré, a UNESCO World Heritage site, enjoy fresh, locally-sourced cuisine, and discover the island’s gentle rhythm. Charlie and Max will share their favourite hidden gems and local insights to help you experience the island like a true insider.
A Deeper Connection
Between classes, savour nourishing, homemade meals crafted from fresh local produce, share laughter with new friends, and let time expand in the rhythm of island life. Every moment is an opportunity to return — to your breath, your body and your natural state of balance.
Sun & Moon 2.0 isn’t just a yoga retreat — it’s a reset for the soul.
A chance to realign with the cycles of nature, reconnect with yourself, and return home renewed.

As well as yoga being at the heart of Sun & Moon 2.0, so too is the food — each meal crafted with the same care, mindfulness and intention that guide our practice. Every day begins with a balanced, nourishing brunch featuring a colourful spread of fresh seasonal fruit, vibrant juices, creamy chia puddings, pastries and wholesome dishes designed to energise and uplift. As the sun sets, we come together for a beautiful homemade dinner lovingly prepared by Max or Charlie, using locally sourced, high-quality ingredients that celebrate the flavours and spirit of Île de Ré. Each meal is a moment to pause, connect and savour — nourishing body, mind and soul in perfect harmony.

Upon arrival, it’s just a short and scenic journey to the island — a quick taxi ride across the bridge that connects the mainland to Île de Ré. As you cross the water, you’ll feel the pace of life gently slow, the sea air shift, and the spirit of the island begin to welcome you — the perfect transition into retreat mode.
