In a few words

Treat yourself to a rejuvenating break dedicated to guided fasting ( Büchinger method or mono-diet ) and inner exploration . In a safe and supportive environment, this experience invites you to slow down and reconnect with what truly matters. As the body calms, sensations , emotions , and thoughts emerge with clarity, creating a space conducive to listening to and understanding yourself.

Over the course of several days, various practices gently accompany this journey: walks in nature , Kundalini yoga , Adhyatma yoga , Gestalt therapy sessions, Pranayama (breathing techniques), and Nonviolent Communication workshops. Each tool promotes a conscious return to oneself, supports the detoxification process, and encourages alignment between body and mind.

This immersive experience combines kindness , safety , and personalized support , allowing you to experience fasting as a genuine transformative process. A profound experience to recenter yourself, cultivate presence, and find lasting balance.

The highlights

  • Professional support for fasting; over 500 people already supported.
  • Yoga taught by a certified instructor, naturopath & psycho-nutrition specialist
  • Self-awareness, massage (optional) and stone cottage in a natural setting

The expert's opinion

Kundalini Yoga is suitable for all levels. It's a style of yoga that encourages you to listen to your body and its limits. It's appropriate for beginners as well as experienced practitioners, regardless of physical condition or age. What can you expect?


  1. Static and dynamic postures that aim to stretch, improve flexibility, realign the body, and open the chakras.
  2. Breathing: oxygenation of the body, better energy circulation
  3. Meditations for connecting with oneself: concentration, centering
  4. Mantras (chants) to create space in the mind and break the mental ruminations
  5. Relaxation: in silence, with a gong, or guided with visualization to integrate and release bodily tension


Adhyatma yoga, as taught by Arnaud Desjardins, is a yoga of observation of the movements of consciousness and their classification. It allows you to name what is happening within you: sensations, thoughts, emotions. Its aim is, in particular, to better understand how your mind works.
