A little breathing room

When was the last time you had a few days without having to plan meals, organize everyone’s schedule, or think about what comes next?

This retreat is an invitation to put some of that down.

Join me for three nights and four days in a beautiful house near the ocean in Duck, North Carolina. A small group, good food, gentle movement, and time to rest - with the practical details taken care of.

You don’t need any yoga experience. You don’t need to come with someone. And you don’t need to fill every moment.

What you’ll experience

• Morning yoga, meditation and breathwork, welcoming all levels, including complete beginners.
• Fresh, nourishing meals prepared by Marie, our French chef, who will stay with us throughout the retreat.
• Nature walks and ocean air, with the choice to walk together, in a small group, or on your own.
• Plenty of free time to read, nap, enjoy a quiet coffee or the jacuzzi, or simply see where the day takes you.
• Optional afternoon workshops, shaped around the group’s interests and needs.
• A warm, personal atmosphere, with just six to eight guests.

Everything is an invitation. If you need a slower morning or an afternoon to yourself, there is room for that too.

Come as you are

Come on your own, with a friend or partner, or with people you already know.

Friends, colleagues, workplace teams and families are welcome. For groups booking together, parts of the program can be adapted to your needs while keeping rest and free time at the heart of the retreat.

Your stay and room arrangements

We’ll share a comfortable house near the ocean, with space to spend time together and find a quiet corner of your own.

The price is the same for everyone: $985 per person. Depending on the final group, some guests will have a private room and others will share a room.

Room arrangements will be discussed with you, taking your preferences and the group’s composition into account. Private rooms cannot be guaranteed.

You will not be expected to share a bed with someone you don’t know. A shared king bed would only be arranged with someone you are coming with, and with both guests’ agreement.

If sleeping arrangements are especially important to you, please contact me before booking so we can talk through the options.

What’s included

• Three nights’ accommodation

A note from Ann

My name is Ann. I’m a European expat from Belgium, now living in Norfolk, Virginia, and a trained life coach. I’ve always loved getting to know people and helping them feel comfortable, supported, and at home.

Yoga, movement, and mindfulness are part of my everyday life. I’m also a CrossFit enthusiast, with a strong interest in psychology - how we think, what we feel, and what helps us navigate life with more awareness and kindness toward ourselves.

These retreats bring together things I care deeply about: people, meaningful connection, good food, and space to slow down. My life coaching background shapes the way I listen and support people, while leaving everyone room to enjoy the retreat in their own way.

I’ll be there to welcome you and guide our morning yoga, meditation, and breathwork. Marie will take care of our meals, and together we’ll create a warm, relaxed atmosphere where you can enjoy being looked after for a change.

If you have questions, or would like to talk before booking, I’d love to hear from you.
