If you're looking to be well cared for and have an incredible experience, look no further!! Francesca is a gracious host, inspiring teacher and a wonderful person to spend time with. She thinks of every detail and ensures her guests never want for anything. The food is so well curated you would think you're at a Michelin star resort!
If you have ever wanted to attend a yoga or spiritually awakening retreat but wasn't sure what to expect, contact Francesca and she will provide all of the information you need to turn your "maybe" into a "yes". I highly recommend you sign up for her next retreat!
Great retreat experience with a fabulous group of women. The food is prepared with love by all. Your heart and belly will over flow.
Francesca is extremely thoughtful in her programming to ensure we flow with what the day brings us to explore.
Highly recommend the retreat experience with Francesca.
My daughter and I met Francecsa over 6 years ago at a spa retreat. She was by far one of the best yoga teachers we had practiced with. Although we are from Montreal - we make it a point to attend Francecsa’s retreats because they are wonderful. She seems to attract such great people at these events. So you get a complete package and the food is plentiful and yummy and nutritious. We highly recommend attending these retreats. Namaste
I recently participated in a 3 day, 2-night yoga retreat with Francesca. It was set in a beautiful countryside home with a large property. Classes took place outside where the horses and cats on the property could be seen and heard. Additionally, I had no idea vegan food could taste so good although, a dairy and meat option was available. As well, there was a cooking demonstration, treatment options, a miniature marketplace, free time for hikes, reading, sunbathing, or whatever you desired. It was a perfect summer treat.
This was my first retreat with Francesca and it was such an amazing experience. The women were so lovely, the food exquisite and the accommodations were great. The program was so wonderful and I loved practicing yoga outdoors on the beautiful grounds, I had the best time and left feeling relaxed and grateful with a full heart. I can't wait for the next one!!!
Thank you so much Francesca for all that you do, xo
