Theme: Breathing in the fresh air of the Morvan
In a relaxed atmosphere, we organise a week of yoga for beginners and advanced practitioners in open air. Have you never done yoga before? Then this is a great opportunity to get acquainted with it in an accessible way.
With our flexible programme, there is a lot to do, with no obligation whatsoever.
Even for more advanced enthusiasts, there is still a lot to discover in breath deepening during poses.
During this week, we’ll spend quite some time on “pranayama”, a yoga term which embodies way more than just breathing. It’s about stimulating life energy. Through active use of the diaphragm, you’ll feel energy flowing through your body. The attention to breathing will be approached in a very “light” way.
We made an open programme, in which you can participate according to your own wants and needs.
In addition, there is plenty of room for you to add your own activities during the week.
For more information about your stay, please contact La Gagère.
The yoga activities are led by Martin Struik, an experienced yoga teacher and therapist.
The yoga will be taught in French, Dutch, English and German, depending on the needs of the group.
