Yin Yang yoga is the perfect balance between Yin yoga and Vinyasa yoga that brings you softness, serenity, and vitality.
The beaches around Porto-Vecchio are simply stunning and count the world-famous Palombaggia and Santa Guilia amongst their number. All have pearly white sand and glittering turquoise sea, surrounded by lush countryside. With shallow waters, they are ideal for swimming.
