North Fork Yoga Shala Retreats

Here at North Fork Yoga Shala, in Greenport, we are really proud of our expanding offering of several retreats both near and far as well as the variety of workshops and trainings that we hold both with our own instructors and talented guest instructors and facilitators.

Our retreats, currently led pre-dominantly by Claire Copersino, our Founder and Director, span the globe, and range from a few wonderful days within driving or public transport distance to further afield in Mexico, Costa Rica, various locations in Europe, northern Africa and several in the planning stage that will be further afield.  It is often the case that once someone has joined one retreat, they catch the bug, so to speak, and attend another .. and another .. and another.  Don’t say you weren’t warned J

It is truly magical to watch new connections form on our retreats, new yoga-family bonds be created and very much a family vibe set in within the first 24 hours amongst our small, intimate groups wherever we may be calling home on our retreats.  These connections then grow once back home and you now know that person who was once just a face across the studio.   As a result the community and family feel of the studio just continues to deepen and expand and sweeps everyone who walks through our doors up into the glow.

Claire Copersino Yoga Retreats, trainings, and workshops are curated based upon suggestions from you as well as initiatives from our team of instructors and we always welcome your thoughts, ideas and feedback.

Monastère de Ségriès, Moustiers-Ste-Marie, Provence, France

October 16, 2026 @ 4:00 pm - October 23, 2026 @ 10:00 am

| $2300

A former cistercian monastery, in the heart of Verdon national park, Monastère de Ségriès has been carefully converted into a charming guesthouse just 6km from Moustiers-Ste-Marie in Haute-Provence, France. The monastery is situated on 8 hectares in the heart of Verdon regional park with Lake Ste-Croix and the Verdon Gorges,

the largest canyon in Europe. The Monastery’s cloister with its fountain, the garden with century old trees, vegetable garden and heated swimming pool as well as several lounges, rooms and a chapel all create a calm, tranquil, relaxing and conducive setting for our retreat offering a beautiful indoor space fully stocked with yoga props as wel

l as many outdoor options in favourable weather. The monastery is close to Moustiers-Ste-Marie, which has been listed since 1983 as one of the most beautiful villages in France and is world famous for its “Faïence”, traditional Provencal pottery, 45 minutes from Manosque and 75 minutes from Aix-en-Provence.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Chef Christophe is at the helm in the kitchen, creatively blending mediterranean flavours while sourcing the majority of fruits, vegetables and herbs from the monastery garden as well as prioritising short supply chains. He is happy to accommodate special dietary needs as well as vegetarian options. We will enjoy three meals daily in the spacious dining room overlooking the magnificent trees on the esplanade or in one of the beautiful shaded outdoor terraces in fine weather. As always, I will organize some excursions for those who wish to explore some places of interest like Moustiers Ste Marie, founded in the 5th century and Riez la Romaine with its Roman and medieval ruins and lively markets. Additionally there are several hiking and biking (bikes are available to borrow) trails that begin from or near the monastery from which to explore stunning natural beauty. There are many activities available nearby including watersports on Lake Ste-Croix, paragliding (!) and horseriding. Massages are also available on site. You can participate in as much or as little as appeals to you.

 

 

We will have a spacious morning practice every day, and an afternoon practice most days (usually 4 days determined by our excursions schedule). There is a spacious indoor room for yoga and many outdoor options on the vast estate if the weather is suitable. Yoga props are on site for us to use, so it’s not necessary to bring your own mat unless you wish to. Classes will be accessible to all with an emphasis on modifying as needed and scaling up or down to suit your needs. There is always a wide variety of practitioners with different physical challenges, agility and every other imaginable permutation and Claire is ALL about offering a yoga practice that is inclusive and available to all. The bedrooms have all been renovated and are comfortable and elegant with all rooms featuring an en-suite bathroom. The closest airports are Nice and Marseille and I will liase with our hosts to arrange transfers from and to the airport. There are several SNCF train options also depending on where you are coming from as well as renting a car and driving if you choose.
