Yoga Retreat with Cynthia McCabe

ONLY A FEW SPOTS LEFT . . . This June, Cynthia McCabe and her team will again host and lead a 7-night yoga retreat at Château de la Rongère in the beautiful Pays de la Loire from June 20th.  Cynthia will spoil you with morning and afternoon Yoga, Vegan/Gluten free meals, Massages and Mont-St-Michel!  These are just a few of the activities that you will experience during a delightful week-long retreat at an amazing and historic, 15th Century château.   

Located in a rural area 40 km from the medieval town of Vitré, Chateau de la Rongère is rustic, real, elegant; located in a natural setting and amidst an organic flower farm.  Each bedroom is beautifully appointed with rich linens and tapestries and unless you bring a partner, you will be assigned your own private room with a shared bath.  

The weekly schedule includes 2 yoga classes daily, one active and one restorative, beautifully prepared and plated gourmet vegan meals, guided meditation and an evening activity or day trip.  Each guest will receive 2 massages during the week and enjoy two guided tours – one of medieval Vitré and one of the world famous Abbaye of Mont-St-Michel. 

There is an on-site pool and your afternoons are free to enjoy the grounds, to wander, to paint, to rest, to jump on the trampoline or play ping-pong.  We will treat you to a hand-made chocolate and wine pairing and a sound bowl healing journey at the end of the week. 

Make new friends and forever memories!  Join Cynthia McCabe, an experienced and passionate Yoga teacher of 20 years, an Aromatherapy junkie and Massage Therapist with 35 years of practice, and her husband, Dan, chef Kate and assistant Jan for one of the best weeks of your life! 

An early bird discount is available if booked before January 31st.  The all-inclusive cost (does not include travel) is $2000 (£1530 or 1780€) before March 1st, 2020.  After March 1st, $2200 (£1685 or 1970€).

Here’s what previous attendees had to say:

I have so many wonderful memories of the retreat. Every time I practice yoga I remember to “get sassy” and it always makes me giggle. Your knowledge of yoga was expert level and really helped me advance my practice.
The care and effort you put into the meal preparations and presentation was truly outstanding-beautiful, nutritious meals presented with much love. I felt pampered and loved the whole week.
The chateau was gorgeous and morning meditation in the garden listening to the birdsong was so peaceful. Sitting by the fire drinking coffee in the morning was so cozy and relaxing. I think of our time together fondly, many great memories were created that will last a lifetime!!

This is a once in a lifetime Yoga retreat not to be missed!  First of all, it’s France! The stay at the picturesque chateau is so beautiful and unique it is really beyond words. Cynthia is a fabulous yoga instructor who is both knowledgeable and encouraging and the daily meals were well planned and delicious.  I left the retreat feeling thankful, relaxed and with a new love for my yoga practice!

The chateau setting was idyllic for enjoying nature.  I loved wandering the grounds and country roads seeing happy cows and horses.  The meals were fresh and flavorful, made with ingredients straight from the chateau garden.  It doesn’t get better than that!  The combination of daily yoga, lovingly prepared food, free time, massages, field trips, and camaraderie shared with special people, was the definition of the ultimate retreat.  I will treasure the memories always!
