8 días relajante retiro de yoga en Francia

During this retreat, you will stay either in a private or a shared room. Les Passeroses is a beautiful old farm house which has been renovated to create boutique accommodation and a fabulous yoga studio. They have been careful to retain the original features of the "Charentaise longere" or longhouse.

Built solidly out of local stone and oak, its hugely thick walls protect against the heat of high summer, keeping the interiors cool. All rooms in the house have floors of oak or handmade terracotta with many featuring exposed beams, original stone window sinks, or fireplaces. The house also has a guest kitchen and a dining room, which is open all day and night.

The spacious guest salon leads onto the dining terrace and in the cooler months, it provides a quiet place to read a book next to the new wood burning stove while in the summer you can take advantage of its thick stone walls to escape from the heat.

The bedrooms are simply, yet stylishly furnished and have quality beds, mattresses, linen, super soft towels, a hairdryer, a pool towel, and organic and eco-friendly hand wash, body wash, and shampoo.

Les Passeroses has three rooms for guests who prefer space to themselves. Two rooms accommodate wither two twin beds or a king-sized bed. The largest room is spacious enough to accommodate three guests, and finally, there is a lovely twin room with stone dove-cote windows. All guest rooms in the house have en-suite, private, modern shower rooms, except for two sharing a closely situated shower room.

During this retreat, you will enjoy one morning yoga session and one afternoon practice. Les Passeroses has a fabulous yoga studio which is well equipped with good quality mats, blocks, blankets, and chairs. The classes will include asana (postures), pranayama (breathing practices), meditation, chanting, and relaxation. Yoga philosophy will be weaved into the classes as you will work around a focused theme.

It doesn’t matter whether you have never been on a mat before or you are an experienced yogi, there will be options for all levels. If you are a yoga teacher, you may even find that you can use some hours towards your continuing professional development. The morning practice will use asana to stretch and wake up the body. There will also be a pranayama practice which you will continue to develop throughout the week.

You will always end the practice with a relaxation to allow everything to settle. The evening practice will be more restorative and include different forms of meditation. The nice thing about being away for the week is that you will also have plenty of time to experience and explore and your body.
