In a few words

In the heart of the Corsican maquis , treat yourself to a 6-day yoga retreat dedicated to disconnecting and well-being. Nestled between the sea and the mountains within a renovated 15th-century monastery , this stay offers an ideal haven of peace to slow down and reconnect with what truly matters.

Each day is structured around two yoga practices : a dynamic morning session to awaken the body's energy and a gentle evening practice conducive to relaxation. The experience is enriched by breathwork workshops, guided meditation , sound therapy , and an introductory course to help you integrate meditation into your daily life.

Between training sessions, enjoy free time to swim in the Mediterranean , explore the surrounding hiking trails , or simply savor the tranquility of the area. You will enjoy Mediterranean-inspired vegetarian cuisine , designed to nourish both body and soul.

More than just an island getaway, this restorative immersion equips you with concrete tools for grounding and serenity to take home with you, for a clearer mind beyond the trip.

The highlights

  • 6-day yoga retreat in a former 15th-century monastery in Corsica
  • Delicious vegetarian cuisine and free time between the sea, the maquis and the mountains

Lauren McCarthy

Lauren McCarthy is a New York-based yoga, meditation, and breathwork teacher. She guides participants toward a deeper relationship with themselves and their practice.

Lauren spent considerable time studying in India and Australia, training closely with masters from various yogic and contemplative traditions. This immersion fully shapes her teaching: grounded, experience-based, and faithful to traditional lineages, while also relying on scientific foundations.

She previously held the position of director at one of the world's largest meditation organizations. Having spent years working with practitioners of all levels—from complete beginners to long-time meditators—she knows perfectly how to adapt to each individual wherever they are.

At the heart of Lauren's work is what she calls Developmental Wellbeing : a practical framework for re-educating the body and nervous system, so that the clarity and serenity cultivated during the stay do not stop there, but accompany you on a daily basis.

Nestled in the heart of Cap Corse, near the village of Erbalunga, the stay takes place at the Convent of Pozzo , a former monastery offering breathtaking views of the Tyrrhenian Sea. This haven, hidden between mountains and maquis shrubland, seems completely untouched by time. The pine trees, dry stone walls, birdsong, and the ever-present sea create a peaceful setting where everything invites you to slow down.

Built in the 15th century, the convent initially housed Capuchin monks before being acquired in 1796 by a prominent citizen of Bastia. Still preserved by the same family, the site has retained its raw beauty and authentic charm, where old stones, paintings, and period objects discreetly tell its story.

Some of the former monks' cells have been converted into bedrooms while preserving their original simplicity and size. Each participant has their own private room, offering space, comfort, and privacy throughout their stay.

An intimate residence, both simple and refined — an ideal place to relax, recharge and fully disconnect.

The easiest way to reach the accommodation is to fly into Bastia Airport (BIA), located in northern Corsica. Our accommodation for the week is located at the following address: Strada di embranchement Cappuccini, Pozzo, 20222 Brando.

From the airport, the drive is straightforward and takes approximately 35 to 45 minutes along the coast and up into the hills of Cap Corse. The easiest option is to take a taxi from the airport, which typically costs between €70 and €90, depending on the time of day.

Two weeks before your stay, we will create a WhatsApp group to help you coordinate transfers from the airport to the Convent, so you can easily share a ride with other participants. Everything is designed to ensure your arrival is smooth and stress-free.
