inversion immersion
Build the strength and mobility that make inversions sustainable.
Inversion Immersion is a week-long deep dive into building the strength, mobility, and confidence required for sustainable inversion practice. The focus is on developing intelligent core stability, shoulder mobility, and load-bearing capacity, so inversions become less about effort and more about efficiency and control. Daily practices blend Vinyasa, targeted conditioning, and progressive skill work to support balance, alignment, and nervous system regulation. Evenings are dedicated to Yin and restorative practices, allowing the body to recover, restore connective tissue, and integrate the physical demands of the day. The program also includes an optional one-on-one consultation to design a personalized gym-based training approach that complements your yoga practice and supports long-term progress in inversions.
Set at Château Rieucazé, Occitania’s historic sanctuary offers elegant rooms, a saltwater pool, a mosaic steam room, and expansive gardens. Our kitchen serves organic, locally sourced vegetarian cuisine designed to nourish active days. All levels of yoga and riding experience are welcome; routes are adapted with options for mileage, elevation, and technicality. Bring your own bike or rent locally—support is available.

Situated in the department of Haute-Garonne, one hour from Toulouse and its international airport, Château Rieucazé is nestled at the top of a hill, offering captivating views of the valley and the Pyrenées mountains to the south. Located on the edge of a tiny village, the main house is backed by a courtyard of eighteenth century barns and enjoys 10 acres of park and gardens ensuring complete privacy.
The historic château was constructed in 1786, just 3 years prior to the outbreak of the French Revolution, belonging to the family of the Comte Du Pac until 1960. The property encompasses a sprawling park with gardens designed under different themes: French, English, Asian and Mediterranean. The grounds also includes a large pond where koi fish and wild ducks swim, a salt-water pool, a handmade mosaic Hammam, a weight room and a large greenhouse.
The château can host up to 14 people in 8 rooms, with either private or shared bathrooms. The interiors of the house have been meticulously restored, preserving numerous period features, including intricate plasterwork, marble fireplaces, wainscotting and beautifully detailed hardwood floors throughout the main rooms. The house has been artfully revived to recapture its authentic charm and elegance, balanced with modern elements and imbuing it with the enduring ambiance of a genuine home.
