pyc {deep dive}
calanques national park
september 6 - 10 2026
cassis france
wild beauty focused practice joyful community supported space.
this is the recharge we need.
{deep dive} meansβ¦
keeping it local.
you donβt have to go far when paradise is your backyard. weβll have access to some of the most loved walking trails in the calanques, as well as the beaches, cobblestone streets, and celebrated vineyards of cassis. even if youβve been to cassis with us before, believe me, you havenβt seen it like this.
keeping it cozy.
this oneβs for the fam, and limited to seven guests. weβll sleep in a spacious contemporary villa overlooking the sea, walking distance from cassis and the mediterranean.
keeping it real.
this is supported space for deep connection - with yourself, with nourishing practices, and with this unique dreamscape-I-mean-landscape.
{shhh}.
weβre offering this experience to our {pyc} alumni and friends. itβs a chance to distill the magic of retreat to focus more deeply on our practice and the landscape that holds us. itβs also the perfect entrΓ©e to our 2026 {provence} retreat, starting three days later.
{ the setting }
if youβve been with us in france, youβve seen glimpses of this landscape in the high coastal sheers bordering seaside towns.
in the yucatΓ‘n, youβve been similarly blessed by the turquoise waters and dramatic limestone formations of the cenotes.
but the singular beauty of the calanques is beyond what I can describe (and you know, Iβm not short on wordsβ¦). you have to see it with your own eyes.
our home base is a contemporary villa overlooking the sea, walking distance from downtown cassis and its beaches. weβll enjoy fresh, authentic cuisine that celebrates the flavors of this crossroads between provence and the riviera.
{to get here, youβll hop a flight to marseille-provence airport or take the high speed train from paris to marseille. weβll provide transportation on sunday september 6th and thursday september 10th}.
{ the plan }
our yoga practices will form the framework for each day: think fun and fluid in the morning, slow and honeyed before dinner.
weβll also spend some time each day connecting with the landscape: a walk, a beach, a hike, a paddle, these coastal cliffs are our playground. But as always, there will be plenty of space for poolside daydreaming or curling up in a big chair with a book and a glass of wine.
meals will be mostly at the villa, but you know we also like to show you a good time in town β and OUI, chef charis will join us for the final day to put a delicious exclamation point on our time together.
{ the vibe }
this retreat is for our pyc fam, and limited to seven travelers.
youβre here because you appreciate beauty and joy and community as essential nutrients β in short, you know whatβs good!
you know the power of connecting and sharing experiences in community, and in supported space.
everything is taken care of - you are taken care of - so that you have space to think and feel more deeply, space to explore outside the bounds of your usual rhythms and thought patterns, space to be fully present to the here and now.
the bottom line
yoga is a path to liberation, in this lifetime, in this body.
that means weβre not trying to overcome or transcend the physical world, nor our physical bodies, but to revel in and honor them as divine, connected, and whole.
this practice means being here all the way, in a beautiful, pleasurable, fulfilling life.
thatβs what weβll be up to in cassis.
