About the retreat
During the week we will use the precision of postures (asanas) to focus on different areas of our bodies. The practice of asana is not about doing the perfect posture. It’s about using postures to understand and transform ourselves. Each week is different, as we are evolving, so are the elements surrounding us... The weather, the group, everything plays a part of how our week develops.
It is a beautiful game of fluidity and often a wonderful and unique experience.
The purpose of this workshop is to have the body and mind working together and being in harmony. Our yoga practice is the core of our week, but you will have free time in order to enjoy the nature of the island (swimming, hiking) and of course to rest!
All levels are welcome. The retreat is limited to 16 participants.
