ABOUT THE RETREAT
Join Angie Valencia, a certified yoga teacher and Malika Dreyfuss, a facilitator for social change for a 3.5 days Yoga retreat. We will explore together the practice of Yoga in its wholeness, from body to mind, thanks to a holistic agenda. The retreat will take place in a fully restored and ecological farmhouse of the french countryside with delicious organic and local food.
PROGRAM
According to the studies on which yoga is based, us humans, need to satisfy three aspects of our lives, to achieve self-realization:
1. Physical aspect: health and physical activity
2. Psychological aspect; knowledge and power of the mind
3. Spiritual aspect; happiness and peace
Yoga is a practical wisdom that covers each of these aspects, giving the tools to each individual for their own evolution through the development of self-discipline.
The programme is designed to practice all of these aspects in order to cultivate harmony within. It will be paced by morning mediations, daily morning Vinyasa and afternoon Restorative Yoga sessions, beautiful walks & observation of the exceptional starry sky, recreational and introspective activities and time to connect with ourselves and each other in a authentic way.
​
We start Thursday 14th of June at 5.30pm and finish Sunday 17th of June at 4.30pm. We will soon share with you the full program.
The programme will be delivered in English (intermediate level of english required).
VENUE & ACCOMODATION
This lovely farmhouse is located 800m above sea level, at the edge of the forest and on the edge of the village Brénaz.
