Fall Retreat to France
with Andrea Lodico
October 11th-17th, 2027
In 2027, join Andrea Lodico & The Yoga Common for a journey to the heart of the French countryside at Oranga, a retreat center nestled amid the ancient sequoias of the Loire Valley. Just a few hours from the lights and bustle of Paris, the setting asks us to slow down and get quiet. During our week together, we’ll revel in the expansive forests, meandering walking paths, and wide open skies in a week of movement and community (and French treats!).
Days will begin with energizing, playful vinyasa and wind down with yoga nidra and meditation. In between, savor farm-fresh organic meals and bask in the forest's golden light. Expect laughter, connection, and the joy of discovering what is revealed amid nature’s quiet.
This area of France is extraordinary — it offers a sanctuary for calm, peace, and a little luxury with famed chateaux just a stone's throw away. We’ll explore charming riverside villages, rich with history, taste local wine, and more. If deep rest is what you’re after, Oranga boasts plentiful hidden nooks to read or nap in, as well as abundant paths amid 100+ year-old Sequoias to wander. And a pool for post-practice dips if the weather is in our favor! Sound Healing massages are available for an additional cost.

Our Home for the Weekend: Oranga Retreat & the Loire Valley
Lovingly cared for by its devoted wife and husband founder team, Oranga has been intentionally designed as a home for practice, connection, and grounding. Set in the heart of the French countryside between the Loire Valley and the forests of Sologne, life at Oranga moves at a sweeter, gentler pace.
This being France, food is a central part of the experience. Meals at Oranga are vibrant, generous, and thoughtfully prepared, guided by seasonality and care for the land. Vegetables take center stage in dishes made with local ingredients and those sourced from the garden onsite. Our shared meals will be inspired by French, Mediterranean, and Ayurvedic influences to nourish, delight, and provide balance.
The Loire Valley, known as the Garden of France, is a UNESCO World Heritage site renowned for its fairytale châteaux, sprawling vineyards, and historic, charming medieval villages that dot the banks of the Loire River. The fertile land offers some of the most delicious produce and wine, featuring world-class Sauvignon Blanc and Sancerre.
This retreat is intimate due to Oranga's size, which is its magic. Get ready for the best sleepover in France with your closest yoga buddies!
