Your week retreat in the French Alps will be centered around being in nature, hiking to high peaks, and enjoying a picnic with stunning views. Take a morning to go to the local farmers market in Moutiers and enjoy an afternoon at the local wellness spa.
Your host and chef have opened up her beautiful home to share her love of the mountains, being in nature, food, and connection. She will offer a cooking class during the week and share her love of food with you. There is plenty of time to wind down and relax and read a good book or have a massage.
The chalet and accommodation are situated on a mountainside in a quaint French mountain village located at 1300m altitude where the air is clean, the sunsets are magical and the birds are near. There are literally jaw-dropping views everywhere you look. Choose to stay in the luxury chalet lovingly restored by the owners or in a local gite next door with a choice of rooms, a living and kitchen area to relax in, and the yoga deck.
The hiking yoga experience here is a secret spot for locals and your hosts know their local area thoroughly and will guide you to some beautiful places. Feel connected to nature and escape the heat of summer and don’t forget about the beautiful sunrises and sunsets. There’s nothing like a hiking yoga holiday to exhilarate and enliven body and mind.
Feel revitalized by yoga on the decking in the morning and in the special yoga shala with all yoga equipment in the evening to unwind and relax. All vegetarian and vegan meals are included in the price. You will be wowed by your host and chef. AdventureYogi calls this yoga holiday a hiking yoga holiday but it is really also a holiday for real foodies too!
About the yoga
