 THE JOURNEY RETREAT 1.0

A THREE DAY HIKE & YOGA EXPERIENCE
Friday June 20TH - Sunday 22nd 2025

PICK UP AND DROP OFF, MORZINE, FRANCE



Are you looking to truly experience the mountains and get away from the noise of everyday life?

Join us on a guided, 3 day hike in the French Alps next Summer. We’ll move mindfully, traversing paths, crossing rivers, and taking in the views as we journey deeper within our Self. Expect laughter, challenges, and time to decompress through the power of nature.

Yoga, breath work and meditation will be woven through the 3 day hike, creating an experience you’ll remember for years to come. Exploring with our mountain guide, we’ll stay overnight in traditional refuges, watching the sun set and the moon rise high in the mountains.

 WHAT’S INCLUDED


Accommodation | Staying in traditional refuges, high in the mountains, we can watch the sunset and the moon rise. Expect dormitory sleeping arrangements, and welcome in the simplicity of staying so close to nature.


Guided Hiking | We have an incredible mountain guide, Dylan Fournier, leading us into the mountains, & taking us off the beaten track! Three days of discovery, challenge, and views that will stay with you for years to come.

The terrain for the Journey Retreat 1.0 is not overly technical, and open to all levels of hiking experience!

Yoga | I’ll be guiding you through Yoga, breath work and meditation in the great outdoors. We’ll work with the terrain, and find the best places to roll out our mats along the way, allowing nature to inspire our practice. We’ll move together, grounding and opening, supporting our bodies through this adventure, and leaning into new spaces within. [No prior experience needed].


Breakfast, lunch & dinner | We’ll eat breakfast and dinner at the refuges, normally traditional savoyard food, fuelling us for the day to come, and take our packed lunches each day into the mountains. On our final day, we’ll share a celebratory dinner before parting ways. Just remember to bring your own packed lunch on Day 1 and any extra snacks you can’t hike without!

Transport | Transport will be provided to and from Morzine, to reach the start and end of the hike. You will be required to be in Morzine for the morning of Day 1, and we will arrive back into Morzine on the evening of your final day.

Fitness |
A good level of fitness will be required to join this trip. You will be carrying your own pack and hiking in varied terrain with elevation and descent. If you have any queries surrounding this, don’t hesitate to connect via email and let’s chat!

Retreat Testimonials

"The Journey Retreat was an amazing experience, a combination of fun, yoga, meditation, physical effort, breathtaking landscapes. Perfect organisation, Emily is a passionate yoga teacher and our mountain guide, Dylan, was very well prepared. I will definitely go again!"

~ Francesca, Journey Retreat 2023

“Emilys Spring Awakening refuge trip was bliss [which will come of no surprise if you've had the pleasure of doing any of her classes]. It was the perfect combination of exercise, relaxation, nature, nourishment and fresh mountain air. Every cell in my body felt truly alive and cared for. I can't thank Emily enough and would highly recommend this experience to others looking to give their body and soul some much needed self care.”

~ Lois, Spring Awakening 2019

 

“I loved the hiking, it gave us a goal but also plenty of time to explore, to relax, to chat and just to be in our own heads. I think [the yoga] worked really well, the challenge is always the weather of course but the adaptation to Bed Yoga worked excellently. The yoga really helped with the hiking. Can't wait for the next one, wherever it may be...”

~ Lyndon, Journey Retreat 2022
