During this retreat, you will be staying at The FrogS' House. The house is a former family-run hotel that has been redesigned into a cozy and comfortable bed and breakfast. Six rooms with single and double occupancy options are available, three with a balcony and sea view, and three with views towards the local majestic cliffs that give Saint-Jeannet its fame and set it apart amongst the hilltop villages of the French Riviera.

If the FrogS' House is full, or if you so desire for whatever reason, they would be happy to book an alternative option so you could still take part in the retreat. You will of course still be welcome to use the common facilities at the FrogS’ House as much as any other guests (the sunny terrace, the big open kitchen, the meditation and massage space, the yoga shala, etc.).

External accommodation options are:

  • A room at the next-door neighbor Chantal’s house. This is in the building opposite The FrogS' House, with views of the FrogS’ House and the sea from its window. Chantal is a charming and discrete host and all the guests who have stayed there have loved their time.
  • A private stone-built apartment less than five minutes from the FrogS’ House, with its own private balcony that has one of the most amazing views of the French Riviera anywhere in the village.
  • A room in a gite/a studio/a private apartment, in the heart of the village, three minutes walk from the FrogS’House.
  • The FrogS' House may, on occasion, be able to find others. Please ask.

Programm

This seven-day and six-night yoga retreat runs weekly, from April to mid-November. Set in the beautiful medieval village of Saint-Jeannet in the South of France, we are a stone's throw away from the French Riviera, with breath-taking views of it from the house. All of the activities during the retreat are performed with the awareness of the present moment, in complete connectedness with the body and the breath.

Language

In 2025, The frogs' house is reverting to having some exclusively French language retreats, too. The start dates for those are:

  • 27 April 2025
  • 17 August 2024
  • 24 August 2024
  • 26 October 2024

Philosophy

The FrogS'House has created a program that lasts for a whole week in order to offer their guests enough time to find the perfect balance between the yoga sessions, excursions, shared moments with the teachers and with other guests, as well as time on their own: this is why you are encouraged to arrive on Sunday and start the retreat from the beginning with everyone else to feel the natural progression of the program and get its full benefit. However, if your itinerary does not fit with this schedule (arriving earlier or later), please let the frogs' house know, and they will see what they can do.

On occasion, they are also able to let the guests stay one extra night after the retreat has finished, to just rest before their onward journey or return home. Please ask. For guests who are unable to come to a week-long retreat, the frogs' house may on occasion, be able to offer shorter alternatives. Again, please ask them and they will see what they can do. There is no "level" required here: the invitation during our yoga sessions is to listen and observe the feeling of the moment, both physically and mentally. So whether or not you have been practicing for a long time, it does not matter.

Beginners or regular practitioners, everyone is welcome. Bring with you an openness to experiencing a new approach, a new practice, and a willingness to explore your own being deep. The FrogS'House will offer you some tools and support you through your own exploration. A better understanding of yourself, and of the world, will, they hope, follow. Benoit leads most of the yoga and meditation sessions of the week.

Benoit is inspired by the French spiritual teacher Jean Klein and his practice of Kashmir Yoga which is a meditative yoga that allows you to delve deeply into subtle feelings, both physically and energetically. To do so, you have to first turn the internal voice that constantly makes comments, criticizes, and judges, into an observer, and let yourself become totally open to the here and now, to the proposition of the moment, to what is happening in your own body and your own mind; and let it be, through simple, but profound, observation. In brief, the yoga he likes to share is that of Being, not of Doing.

Jean is a certified teacher of Ashtanga, a more dynamic and physical yoga style, Yin Yoga, a more meditative style, as well as a practitioner of Tibetan sound healing, which he sometimes offers after Yin Yoga in class. All the teachers at The FrogS'House do their best to guide and listen to everyone’s needs and at the same time maintain harmony in the whole group.

Lage

This retreat takes place in the very center of the charming and peaceful medieval village of Saint-Jeannet in the South of France. Perched at the foot of the Mediterranean cliffs, locally called “Baou”, Saint-Jeannet is the kind of place where people leave their front doors and cars unlocked, and where children play in the main village square in total safety. The FrogS' House is only 15 kilometers away from Nice Côte d’Azur airport and the French Riviera. Yet it is so much quieter and more relaxing here than the hustle on the beach.

At 450 meters of altitude, you will have breathtaking views of the Mediterranean Sea and the Côte d’Azur all the way from the Italian border to Saint-Tropez. To the North and East lie the majestic French Alps - you can ski an hour and a half’s drive away from here! - and to the West, their rolling foothills and low-lying mountain ranges trickle into the Mediterranean, setting the scene for spectacular and all-so-varied sunsets year round. Its height above the sea makes for a pleasant moderate temperature here even in the middle of the summer, and we have plenty of sunshine all through the year.

Distances

  • Mediterranean cliffs ("Baou") - 5 minutes walk
  • French Riviera, 15 kilometers
  • Nice Côte d’Azur Airport (NCE), 15 kilometers

Verpflegung

On this retreat, the food is fabulous; you are in France after all. The food at the FrogS' House is based on the world renown cuisine of the Mediterranean, with innovative twists to make it more in accord with their yogic philosophy: respect for the environment and for animals, consciousness of health. Their vegetarian or vegan food is all prepared on the premises by a qualified French chef who is passionate about local gastronomy and produce. The ingredients are as local and organic as possible and the food is accompanied by wine from the village vineyard.

You will be served sumptuous daily organic breakfasts or brunches, homemade picnic lunches during excursions, and light freshly prepared lunches at home, as well as most dinners. The FrogS' House welcomes the guests with an aperitif and a finger buffet on Sunday evening. On Monday and Wednesday, the guests serve and share the two-course dinners that have been lovingly prepared by chef Noel. A French gastronomy workshop with a vegetarian or vegan twist, animated on Tuesday by the amazing chef Noel himself is a highlight of the week both in a culinary sense and in just how fun it is.

Dinner on Thursday evening will be at your own expense: there are plenty of choices of restaurants within walking distance in Saint-Jeannet, or you can take away food from the local shops to organize your own dinner at The FrogS' House using the big open kitchen which is at your disposal. Friday night is a farewell dinner, and as with the activity of Friday, the whole evening takes the flavor and ambiance that the group brings to it. There are often games involved, a huge amount of laughter, and a bit of a party!
