YUJ Paris yoga retreat at Château Louise de la Vallière: luxury, reconnection and mindfulness

From September 12 to 14, 2025, YUJ Paris organizes an exclusive yoga retreat at Château Louise de la Vallière. A weekend of complete well-being, combining postural practice, relaxation and French art de vivre.

In a world saturated with demands, the quest for meaning and slowing down is gaining ground. This is the context for the yoga retreat devised by YUJ Paris, in partnership with Château Louise de la Vallière, a discreet jewel in the Loire Valley. An exceptional weekend, from September 12 to 14, 2025, designed for those who want to slow down without giving up comfort.

An exceptional setting to reconnect

Located in the heart of the Loire Valley, just a few hours from Paris, Château Louise de la Vallière is much more than a five-star hotel. It’s a place of history, silence and nature, where Jacques Garcia’s design meets the demands of contemporary hospitality: 20 rooms and suites, a gourmet restaurant, a spa with heated outdoor pool and a champagne bar, all nestled in a French-style park.

For a weekend, this sumptuous, soothing setting becomes a sanctuary for yoga and well-being. Far from the hustle and bustle of Paris, participants are invited to reconnect with themselves, their breathing and a certain slower art of living.

YUJ Paris, pioneer of sensory yoga

Founded by Hélène Duval, YUJ Paris has established itself since 2017 as a benchmark in the world of high-end yoga. A committed French brand, YUJ offers eco-responsible technical clothing, immersive studios in Paris and a pedagogy based on sensory experience. Yoga Flow, YUJ’s signature method, combines fluid movement, conscious breathing and musical ambience.

This retreat is led by Morgane, a passionate dance teacher and YUJ instructor. Her subtle pedagogy, a mix of yin yoga and dynamic flows, is aimed at all levels, in a caring, inclusive and profoundly contemporary approach.

A program that balances body, mind and pleasure

Designed as a complete immersive experience, the retreat is divided into three phases:

• Day 1: welcome, discovery of the château, access to the spa, meeting of the group over a detox infusion, then first gentle session at the end of the day, before a well-being dinner.
• Day 2: energizing morning yoga, treatments or free time at the spa, detox lunch, Valmont masterclass, evening yin yoga session, and another balanced dinner.
• Day 3: Extended morning yoga practice, wellness brunch, then departure or free afternoon extension at the château.

Each day combines physical exercise, moments of rest, a diet designed to sustain energy, and gentle group activities, without ever forcing the pace.

A customized and personalized retirement

The program also includes complementary activities, which can be booked in advance, allowing you to explore the region at your own pace: electric bike ride (€30), private shuttle to discover Amboise (€30), vintage car rental (€250), Champagne tasting (€100), spa treatments, horseback riding (€160/hr), or even an English afternoon tea (€39). Non-practising companions can also join the yoga sessions without participating.

A proposal for introspective luxury

More than a weekend of yoga, this retreat is an experience of centering. Here, luxury is not ostentation, but the quality of listening, the comfort of the space, the precision of teaching and attention to detail. Every moment is designed to offer a true break, far from the injunctions and demands of everyday life.

The formula appeals to a demanding Parisian clientele looking for alternatives to low-cost retreats or impersonal training courses. With prices starting from €1,600 for a double room (and €2,025 for a single), the experience is exclusive but consistent with high-end standards.

Contemporary luxury for a spirit on the move

This collaboration between Château Louise de la Vallière and YUJ Paris embodies what luxury can be in 2025: experiential, respectful, and deeply human. In today’s fast-paced world, these breathing spaces are precious. And more necessary than ever.
