The expert's opinion
Yoga classes are suitable for everyone: from complete beginners to experienced yogis, the sessions are accessible and the postures are explained, with several alternatives. Now's the time to try!
For the hike, good physical condition is recommended but nothing technical, and we take the time to adapt to the pace of the group: a 9.5km hike with 500m D+, and a 6km hike with 300D+.
