😎 A (very) belated sharing of captures from our final event of the summer Peyrounet | Nature & Yoga in SW France - our 26+2 August Yoga Intensive ❤️‍🔥

🌞 An unplanned start of a near-total eclipse on the first night (not sure why IG is not letting me add music to posts anymore, you’ll have to sing Bonnie Tyler yourself as you flick through… 🎤🎶)

🙌 Followed by breakthrough after breakthrough from day 2 (usually takes another day to get there but these gals were on the fast track 💪)

🏞️ Of course our time together included heatwave-relieving swims in the Aveyron & a chess re-match (with all the drama of last year & beyond)

⚡️⛈️ Bear took advantage of the heatwave-breaking thunderstorm & sympathetic Yogis - & re-claimed his sofa spot
(But notice his big cheesy grin the following night - anything for pizza/cheese 🧀)

💛 So beyond grateful for our time together, for our yoga family coming together, for the inspiration that each person brings to the yoga table through the simple (but not always easy) act of showing up, committing to the practice & being open to what is there (you never know til you get there) ✨✨

🫶 Always wish we had more time…
💝 Until next year!

📆 Meanwhile, the Livestream Class Schedule continues - a full, normal schedule this week including today for the Bank Hol & of course classes with Johnny Ward on Weds & ɢᴇᴏʀɢᴇ on Sunday (but a heads-up that from next weekend the schedule will be reduced across the 10 days of our 26+2 TT session 1).

🌞✌️💛 Have a wonderful week & see ya in class!

🌄 No such thing as too many sunset photos – here is another recent favourite, from the edge of the woodland Peyrounet | Nature & Yoga in SW France

⚡️ A big, dramatic storm cleared the air last night & now the heat builds again (fifth heatwave of the summer), just in time to welcome our last yoga guests of the season for our 26+2 Yoga Intensive. If we have to have a fifth heatwave this year, at least we can put it to good use!

🍈🥝🌰🍨 The studio is heating up… Ice cream is ready & waiting (can’t wait to test some new flavours on you)… We’ve stocked up on the best melons in the ‘hood… Beds are made… Shutters are shut (keeping the house cool)… The river just got a little healthy top-up… & Most importantly we have a great group coming together for some serious 26+2 fun (can’t wait to see you!!).

📆 PLEASE NOTE a few Livestream Class Schedule changes this week:
- No Yoga Homework (back to normal next week)
- Weds 26+2 is 1 hour earlier this week at 5.15pm (bc of the eclipse!)
- Sat 26+2 is 90-min format
- It’s a FULL, NORMAL SCHEDULE NEXT WEEK
- & Of course that includes a fun-filled Pilates class with George ɢᴇᴏʀɢᴇ on Sunday

🌞Wishing you a wonderful week,
With Metta,

❤️‍🔥 Sweet memories from a week of 26+2 à la Campagne with students who have been with us for 19-going-on-20 years!

🙏 So grateful for our time together, to be able to share in so much precious yoga and non-yoga time with you, & to share this chapter of our lives that is our big Peyrounet | Nature & Yoga in SW France adventure (the extra-hot edition of 2026).

😋 Did you know that “cheese” when taking a photo elicits a different response from a dog than a human? 😆📸 (photo no 14!!)

📆 We are back to a full normal Livestream Class Schedule this week where you’ll see Johnny Ward for some 26+2, ɢᴇᴏʀɢᴇ for some Pilates & K for the rest!

🌞 Wishing you a wonderful week ahead & much Metta

💫 Throwback to just over a month ago, just before the never-ending heatwave landed, when we still had grass growing & we held our June 26+2 Yoga Intensive!

🌾 Hay bales are made for yoga nerds who do yoga homework & Yoga Intensives are made for yoga nerds… so the conditions were perfect 🙃

📸 Which do you prefer: 1, 4 or 5?

💝 Thanks to Jo, Lynne, PK & Anne for making our first Intensive of the year as special & unforgettable as it was – we just 🫶 digging deep into 26+2 with like minds & willing Yogis!

🌞 The sun has been shining ever since & it remains in position for the start of our July 26+2 Yoga Intensive with Yogis arriving this Weds! We cannot wait to dig deep into 26+2 all over again.

📆 It’s a slightly reduced Livestream Class Schedule this week with all Yoga Homework cancelled but all other classes ON. We’ll be offering a 90-min 26+2 class on Saturday where you can practice with the Intensive Yogis – highly recommended! You’ll see .johnny.yoga & for their usual Weds & Sun classes, too!

🦋 We emerge from what was an inspiring week of Yoga+Art à la Campagne – & these precious moments captured in photos & videos offer a small, butterfly’s-eye view of our time together.

🫶 Thank you to the Yoga+Art à la Campagne Yogis of 2026 for helping us to make our third instalment of this retreat extra-special, & for taking time out of your lives to be with us for what was an unforgettable week. Yoga & meditation with us followed by art lessons with Emma, with the surroundings of Peyrounet & St Antonin Noble Val… We are so fortunate to be able to host events like these & share in a week with you all.

📸 Here are more than a few photo & video shares – I think the hummingbird moth from Claire is our favourite, what a stunning slo-mo capture – but then there was the nightjar who always deservedly steals the show! 🤩🙌

🤸🏻‍♀️🔌⚡️ We welcome our next group in just over one week – 26+2 Intensive Yogis of July – who will all be returning for the second year, together! It’s fully booked, but if you do want to join us this summer we still have a space for you on our 26+2 à la Campagne Retreat 24-31 July, or if you want to take part in an Intensive, join the waitlist for our August 26+2 Intensive 12-17 Aug because it is possible that one person who is registered can’t join the 26+2 practice party after all…. Email us for details!

📆 It’s a mostly-full Livestream Class Schedule this week with covering R&S on Fri & Yoga Homework on Fri cancelled for that day only. You’ll see .johnny.yoga & for their usual Weds & Sun classes, too!

⛱️ Stay Cool & Keep Practising!

🌞 What do you get when 8 friends for over 30 years (plus one recent but very special addition) come together for a yoga retreat ?

🙌📚 A summer holiday for the books!

💝 Thank you to .maher88 & friends – we are so grateful for our time together with you, & so grateful to Michael who just keeps on coming back to Peyrounet & bringing all of his great friends! Must build more rooms & a bigger studio!

🌌🌄🌝 We saw kingfishers & heard nightjars… Had visits from the deer, foxes & tawny owls at the pond… Viewed Jupiter & the Galilean Moons through the scope… Swam & kayaked down the Aveyron… Walked the edges & country lanes & took in the most breathtaking sunsets… Visited local villages & landmarks… Practised yoga every day… & very much enjoyed some down time together over meals & in the shade of the big linden tree, including birthday celebrations for Pete. Butterflies, bees, cicadas, moths, stag beetles (so many stag beetles!!), bats, lizards, glow worms… And of course our host with the most, Mr Bear, was alongside through it all & finally seems to enjoy kayaking (he even squeezed in a much-needed snooze) before his cheese feast 🧀👌

🧑‍🎨 A couple of rest days, a few prep days, & on Fri we welcome our Yoga+Art à la Campagne group for one week! Looks like the sun is here to stay… we can’t wait to see you all again & welcome our first-time visitors for what is going to be another fun week in our little corner of Occitanie!

📆 It’s a mostly-full Livestream Class Schedule this week with 26+2 at a slightly earlier time on Sat & with Johnny. is covering R&S on Sunday, & you’ll see .johnny.yoga & for their usual Weds & Sun classes, too.

Wishing you a happy Solstice, a wonderful week ahead,
& of course much time on your mat & in your practice – out in the garden or at the park –
& don’t forget your SPF & to breathe through your nose!

🌞 With Metta & Cool Wishes

👋 Practising this much yoga does make you a little crazy 😉


🙆‍♀️ We just wrapped up our last class of our first 26+2 Yoga Intensive of the summer (two more Intensives & three more retreats to come!) & it has been a wonderful & inspiring five days with four incredible Yogis – Thank You!

📆 We have a few more hours together before they head home & before Bear holds his usual grudge against us, blaming us for making his friends leave!! We’ll see you in classes tonight & through the week, & remember it’s a slightly modified Livestream Class Schedule this Saturday & is covering R&S on Sunday. You’ll see .johnny.yoga & for their usual Weds & Sun classes, too.

Wishing you a wonderful week ahead
& of course much time on your mat & in your practice.

🐝 Le sigh! 😌 So far, summer 2026 is so good! We hope you’ve been enjoying it too.

🌝 We welcome our 1st guests of the summer on Weds for our 26+2 Intensive (cannot wait to see you!) & our friends of the forest are ready to meet & greet – most of them w a babe or two in tow!

🦊🐇🦌 We haven’t managed to capture every spotting – missing are the baby roe deer & the baby hare we spotted last week – but mom & baby fox have been making a nightly visit to the pond – sound on for the sweetest sounds

🪺🌌 Birdhouse is full of blue t**s about to fledge, cuckoo has been visiting the garden (looking for nests to steal!), treecreepers nesting & bats roosting in the studio walls, golden orioles helping to control slugs, had to stop the car & wait for the hoopoe fledglings to clear the lane on our way home from the river, & we heard the churr of a nightjar in the garden last week… exciting to hear nightjar for the first time ❣️

🦋🌳 The linden tree is in full bloom – buzzing all day & all night (‘ommm’) & hundreds of butterflies drinking from the linden blossoms & flitting around scabious in the butterfly field.

🌼 The air is sweet w honeysuckle, mock orange & linden – honeysuckle all over the garden, studio, woodland & hedgerows in full bloom too.

🌄 Sunsets have been off the charts 📈💥

🤦‍♀️ We made the mistake of telling Bear that his ‘friends are coming soon’ & now he won’t venture far from home….

👷‍♂️ Johnny & Cyril are almost finished w rebuilding the barn roof – just a few more roof plaques to fit & then some sealing (tiles coming later in the summer).

✅ Check yourself in for class tonight & through the rest of this week & next!
📆 Johnny .johnny.yoga teaching Weds, Helen teaching this Fri & next Sun, George teaching Sun, & no Yoga Homework this week but some next week 👌
🙆‍♀️ Join us for 26+2 on Sat at 9.30am – 90 min format w the Intensive Yogis!

🌞 Wishing you a wonderful, yoga-filled week
