Rebekah C – Your host at Les Daurins, France
I grew up in the UK and was lucky to spend many childhood holidays in France. Those wonderful memories started a life long dream to have a second home where I could share my love of France with family, friends and guests.
In 2021, I decided to make that dream a reality, and so began the search for the perfect French property. After looking at hundreds of houses online, and many in person, I stumbled across Les Daurins in the Charente countryside. I was in love...the stillness, timeless charm and history of the property made me feel immediately at home and rooted in the earth. I knew this was where I should be to take my place in the long line of caregivers of this 200 year old home.
Passionate about creating spaces where people can truly exhale, I welcome you to share the warmth, love, and a touch of French farmhouse magic that Les Daurins has to give. My home is my heart, my heart is your home.
Leza B. - Your guide on the mat June 2027 Retreats
For over 30 years, I’ve been guiding intentional movement—an anchor through every season of my life. My yoga journey has taken me across the globe, including Thailand where I completed my 500-hour teacher training, with further studies in Bali, Santa Monica, Vancouver, and beyond. Along the way, I’ve immersed myself in specialized trainings in Vinyasa and sequencing, Yoga for Youth, Yin, Prenatal, Restorative, and Trauma-Informed Yoga Therapy.
As both a massage therapist and Reiki practitioner, I bring a holistic approach that weaves together mindful movement, therapeutic touch, and energy healing. My work invites release, grounding, and reconnection—supporting students and clients in finding balance through body, mind, and spirit.
Whether through yoga, massage, or Reiki, my deepest intention is to create space for healing, renewal, and a return to your truest self.
