A Journey Like No Other: Yoga, Sound & Culture in a French Château


I'm Ruchika Sadh, founder of Ida Yoga & Wellness and owner of a yoga studio in New Delhi. My passion is to bring a holistic approach to peaceful and happy living through yoga, Pilates, meditation, breathwork, sound therapy, and hypnotherapy. After years of studying and practicing across the world, I invite you to experience something truly unique—an immersive retreat blending the sacred wisdom of India with the elegance of French culture.

Set in a breathtaking 1800s château, surrounded by lush vineyards and open countryside, this retreat is a fusion of tradition and indulgence. You'll practice authentic Indian yoga and meditation, while embracing the slowness and richness of French living—a rare combination that makes this retreat one of a kind.
