Yoga Holiday - Provence, Southern France
25th August - 8th September 2007
Enjoy a relaxing holiday in the sunny South of France with beautiful surroundings, great food and an opportunity to surrender more deeply to your yoga practice. La Paludette is a beautifully restored old farmhouse set in lavender fields in the heart of the Rhone valley. Arranged into three houses, each with its own large sitting room, it has a superb, purpose built, yoga room and a beautiful pool.
Yoga teaching will be based on the Dynamic Method, unifying the five elements of stillness, movement, flow, energy and awareness into a simple but powerful surrender to the delight of our own true nature. With its roots in the teachings of Patanjali, this Method allows us to move safely and easily through muscular release to an increasingly profound spiritual awareness. There will be ample opportunity to ask questions and resolve issues of personal concern. The two teachers, Mac and Gillian, both have extensive yoga and teaching experience and are fully accredited Dynamic Yoga teachers. Here are some comments from previous courses:
“a profound experience” “something of the peace and stillness has remained with us” “superbly organised, the teaching was excellent and the food...wonderful!”
Yoga will be in the mornings, followed by brunch. After this the day is your own. Top up your tan by the pool or explore the surrounding countryside. For the more adventurous there is hill walking, cycling, pony trekking and kayaking in the Gorges de L’Ardeche. The pretty village of Suze la Rousse is a gentle 2km walk while the historic towns of Bollene 7km, Orange 15km and Avignon 50km are within easy driving distance, as are many of the great vineyards of the Cotes du Rhone.
Getting there: The best route is: travel to Paris and get the TGV to Orange. We will arrange taxis to collect you from there. More detailed advice available on booking. Cost: £475 per person per week, based on two sharing.
