Show
Elleke's journey in yoga and meditation began when she was a child. In her early teenage years, she spontaneously started to meditate, following an inner guideline and set off on the path of yoga. Yoga and meditation became a way of life. For more than 35 years now she has been teaching the ancient form of Raja Yoga with love and passion and for 25 years she has been training yoga teachers. In your daily life at La Borde Blanque lies an invitation and challenge to practice the yoga way of life, each day, every minute.
Retreat location
This retreat will take place in Midi-Pyrenees, France. The area has a long and moving history. Amongst other things, you will find prehistoric caves with carvings and stalactites and stalagmites. Apart from that, the Celts also left their traces, as well as the Romans with their thermal baths.
La Borde Blanque is an authentic French country estate located on the crest of a hill with a magnificent view over the Pyrenees and surrounding countryside. The location offers various opportunities to be together, as well as to draw for some private space, both indoor and outdoor. It has a private lakeside beach on the beautiful Lac de Montbel and is defined by forest and the river Hers on the other side.
