Find your flow and feel restored for the approaching winter months. House of Vinyasa invites you to join us for 4 relaxing and rejuvenating days of yoga, peace and sunshine in the South of France.
- The Retreat -
Staying in a luxury villa nestled in the foothills of the Montagne Noire, 20kms from Carcassonne, the property has been lovingly restored to create a tranquil and secluded space for unwinding and enjoying the local countryside. Relax in peace and quiet, walk in the vineyards and enjoy fresh food.
The villa offers a calm and modern space to practice yoga, unwind and rest. The private bedrooms are spacious and bright, each in keeping with the traditional style of the house, with luxurious en-suite bathrooms. There is plenty of space throughout the house and garden, including a swimming pool nestled amongst the trees.
- The Yoga -
The theme throughout the retreat will be dynamic Hatha yoga and relaxation. With an emphasis on vinyasa flow, you'll feel lighter, brighter and renewed. Classes will also include meditation and pranayama, the focus of mind and breath in combination with your practice, to teach you tools that can be used in everyday life.
The morning classes will be fun and dynamic, working to increase your energy levels and open up the body by flowing through demanding yoga sequences to build heat from within. We’ll also examine proper posture alignment and the importance of combining movement and breath.
The evening class will have a slower pace, using simple postures with longer holds and a focus on deepening your practise with the breath. This is a meditative style of yoga that is relaxing and restorative.
- The Food -
We're passionate about tasty and healthy food, and enjoy our mealtimes together. Using the abundance of local fruit and vegetables, fresh seafood and local wine, all our meals are designed to nourish and energise us throughout the week. Juices, teas and fresh coffee will keep us hydrated during the day.
- What's included -
2 daily yoga classes
5 nights accommodation
Tasty, healthy meals
A spa treatment
Explore the region with a local, guided walks and picnics
A final note from us...
Everyone is welcome to join us on this retreat - while many yoga studios focus on the super fit and flexible (often in an aim for the ‘perfect body’), we’d like encourage people of all ages and levels to join us. This is a style of yoga that is perfect for anybody who is keen to increase their strength, connect with their body and relax their mind, no matter what your yoga experience.
