Story | Destination Namaste

The birth of our unique retreats came about when our first one was held in 2016.

Where two High School friends from South-Africa came together over an ice-cream in Nice,France. Theresa Moodie a passionate Yogi and Lara a Somatic Embodiment Coach decided right there to host their first retreat in Corsica together.

Focused on finding a positive, gentle and unique way to share the beauty of Corsica (where Lara lived then). They wanted to be respectful of the islands breathtaking natural environment so decided to share it’s beauty with others through an immersive nature and wellness retreat. The first experiences were magical, hard and rewarding where they both learnt valuable lessons in how to set up and run retreats and events moving forward.

Since then the project has grown to include a small team of experts that are passionate about the retreats and events we create, working closely with the best yoga teachers, healers, therapists, chefs, facilitators and artists from all over the world whose work we know combining it with our inside knowledge of the destinations we have explored since.

Theresa is based in South-Africa where she teaches and Lara is now based in the South of France, where she coaches and still helps others set up their own unique retreats and events.
