An Intermission Retreat is not your average yoga retreat… it’s a space for musicians to gather, move mindfully, and get the creative juices flowing. It’s an invitation to fall in love with music all over again — to remember the “why” behind what we do. It’s a moment just for us, to refill our musical cups so that we can return to the stage refreshed and ready to pour our hearts out all over again. It’s a time to simply PLAY.

An Intermission Retreat: where we invite you to “take an Intermission” from your everyday lives to rest, recharge, and refill your cup. Just like in the middle of a concert, we need that window of time while the curtain is down to step back, refuel, and get ourselves ready for the next act. 🩵

With enchanting surroundings, spaces to move and breathe mindfully, stunning nature, world-class food, time to reflect and set new intentions for the months to come, and the very best vibes to lift each other up… an Intermission Retreat is the week we as musicians not only dream about but deserve.

This year’s time at Château de Queille was a true slice of paradise!

Perhaps consider carving out a week next summer to take an Intermission of your own… 2027 dates coming soon so watch this space! 👀

Highlights from our 2026 Intermission Retreat at Château de Queille. ✨

Our hearts (and bellies) are full from so much laughter, unbelievably delicious food, shared musical moments, endless poolside chats, lots of yoga, so many naps, and the warmth—both literally 😅 and figuratively—of the South of France.

Like every Intermission Retreat, this year’s group was its own perfect combination of beautiful humans, and we feel so honored that they chose to pause their busy lives and retreat with us.

Thank you for trusting us to take care of you and thank you for making this a week we’ll cherish forever. 🙏🏾 taken in Château de Queille by @intermissionsessions

On today’s special episode of the MindfulOpus Podcast, we have the fabulous duo behind @intermissionsessions!

Concert violinists Elena Urioste and Melissa White (who have BOTH soloed with my former orchestra!) came on the pod, and we had so much fun while I got to bask in hearing them share their wisdom.

We covered everything from:

• how their yoga practice has helped guide and support them in their artistic lives, on and off stage
• how to support yourself around performance nerves
• why how you talk to yourself matters
• what agency looks like, both in your art and in your life
• why it’s OK to let the path curve as you grow and evolve in your career
•and so much more!

“Let the Path Curve” is available on all podcast platforms, with the video episode available on YouTube (link in bio for easy access).

Thank you again to these wonderful humans for coming on the pod! ✨

Practicing what we preach!

We know we drone on and on about the benefits of not only yoga for musicians, but of intentionally carving out pockets of time to rest, recharge, move mindfully, and reconnect with the WHY of music-making. So we absolutely hold ourselves to that same standard!

Greetings from @cocoonportugal, where we’re nearing the end (😭) of an absolutely fabulous retreat with @antonbrandt, @nikkivilella, and the @thesacredfig community. It has been the most beautiful reminder of just how important it is to make space for joy! It’s an investment in a number of different ways, but we know we will re-enter the world feeling stronger, more centered, and ready to take on our musical lives.

If you want to learn more about that retreat life, visit www.intermissionsessions.com/retreat or the link in bio! We would love to flow, dance, make music, and be joyful with you this September 1-7 at the @chateaudequeille.

I’m going to try, but there are really no words to describe what a perfect place the Château de Queille is. 🩵

An 18th century stone castle, immaculately restored and designed, nestled in the wooded foothills of the Pyrenees mountains, complete with a breathtaking countryside views, gorgeous infinity pool, Steinway grand piano, airy yoga spaces, storybook kitchen, our own private chapel for music-making, flower-drenched grounds, on-site river for wild swimming… it’s truly the stuff of dreams and fairy tales. Add to all of that 6 days of bespoke yoga for musicians, a private chef who used to work for Ottolenghi, and music-making in whatever form our hearts desire… this will be the #IntermissionRetreat of a lifetime. We’ve still got a few spots available, so come celebrate our 10th year of yoga retreats for musicians and hang with me, Melissa White (@afroviolinist), and the most brilliant movement specialist Chloe Faulkner, this September 1-7 at @chateaudequeille! More details and registration available at www.intermissionsessions.com/retreat 🔗

The summer is sizzling.🔥

Which is exactly why we’re dreaming about September in the South of France and working hard to make it a spectacular Retreat just for you!

Imagine six days where your biggest decision is whether to head to yoga, practice in a centuries-old château, wander the gardens, take a dip in the pool, or simply do…absolutely nothing.

Intermission Sessions is part artist residency, part wellness retreat, and entirely an invitation to reconnect with your creativity, your body, and a community of kind, curious musicians.

Think:

✨ Daily movement
🎻 Time to practice (or not)
🍽️ Chef-prepared meals
🌿 Stunning surroundings
💬 Inspiring conversations
🤍 Plenty of laughter
😌 Permission to finally exhale
😴 Unlimited naps

We have just a few spots remaining for our September retreat at Château de Queille in the South of France.

Come take an Intermission with us!

As musicians, we know how tough it can be to plan even the happiest and most deserved of getaways in advance — what if a gig comes in? what if I’m not in the mood? what if my bank account gets sad? what if…⁉️

Well, the good news about time marching on is that now we’re less than FOUR months away from our next glorious #IntermissionRetreat in the south of France (September 1-7) which is the perfect amount of time in advance to set aside a week to relax, recharge, and re-inspire! As we like to remind our fellow musicians (and ourselves), we give SO much as musicians and it’s impossible to pour from an empty cup. 🫗

So reserve one beautiful week for yourself before the busy autumn season starts up again and join us in a stunning chateau in the South of France to move your body with @afroviolinist, @elenaurioste, and @chloefaulkneryoga; soak up some Vitamin D; and celebrate being alive with the very best musical community. ☀️

Options for all budgets and payment plans available! Any questions send us an email or DM. Further info available via the link in bio or our website. 💛
