A New Year yoga retreat in an enchanting setting

Escape for the festive season and join us in a charming Chalet in the French Alps! Imagine yourself surrounded by snowy landscapes, where every morning begins with a revitalizing yoga class facing the majestic mountains. Then set off for a hike along enchanting trails, breathing in the pure air and enjoying the natural beauty. Treat yourself to a magical interlude to celebrate the New Year in a serene and friendly atmosphere. Don't miss this unique opportunity to reconnect with nature and with yourself.

In the heart of the French mountains, winter has a soothing charm. In this snow-covered setting, Yin Yoga invites contemplative slowness, allowing the body to relax deeply. Prolonged postures open the meridians and soothe the mind. In the continuity of Vinyasa, breathing gives rhythm to fluid movements, bringing warmth and vitality. The transition to meditation then occurs naturally, offering space to refocus and appreciate the surrounding silence. In this wintry cocoon, each practice becomes an ode to serenity and harmony.

Book your unforgettable trip now.
