YOGA & Meditation Retreat in FRANCE
October 27th to November 3rd, 2012
Please Join us in inspiring and historical France for an amazing week of Yoga, Meditation, and Touring…all while staying in the rolling hills of the Loire Valley, about two hours from Lyon- the gastronomical center of France. This area, known as the Côte Roannaise, is dotted with medieval towns, churches and vineyards. Stay in the Villa with an experienced and thoughtful staff, including an in-house professional chef and bilingual language professors to answer historical questions about this rich area and assist us with the beautiful French language.
This journey includes a wonderful balance of daily Yoga and Meditation/relaxation sessions, and inspiring and fun excursions to explore “La Belle France.” Enjoy 3 amazing meals everyday and multiple excursions, including trips to: nearby medieval villages, churches and vineyards; an extensive and very French outdoor Market; a local chocolate shop; and lunch at a 4 Star gourmet French restaurant. Also enjoy an afternoon French cooking class, walks to nearby parks and in-town shops, local cafes, Wine Tastings, cobblestone streets, and soaking up the “joie du vivre” and culture of France!
Join a group of warm-hearted people who enjoy Yoga, whether they are beginners or experienced practitioners.
Feel what it’s like to live in a balanced way feeding all aspects of your Self – mind, body and soul. This trip is a balanced blend of the healthy physical practices of Yoga and walking, the mind practices of meditation and learning new things in a new culture, and the space for your soul to relax and restore, in an inspiring and magical place.
The four course dinners, including optional wine, are much more than just physical nourishment! These delicious meals provide opportunities for community and conversations, and a chance to learn, or brush up on your French… if you so desire (with our in-house language teacher).
Check out this slideshow of places and sites we’ll be visiting! (This show was from a recent trip led by the College of DuPage.)
