In a few words

Treat yourself to a week-long immersion in holistic yoga , accessible to all levels, guided by an Ayurvedic therapist and energy practitioner. This retreat offers a comprehensive approach to harmonizing body and mind in an environment conducive to rejuvenation.

Hatha yoga sessions lay a solid foundation: postures held gently, grounding exercises, breath awareness, and body alignment. Gradually, vinyasa brings fluidity and dynamism through sequences synchronized with the breath, promoting letting go , energy flow, and the release of physical and emotional tension.

The practice is enriched by periods of meditation , deep relaxation , and energy rebalancing , allowing for targeted work on the chakras and overall harmonization. Each day becomes an invitation to slow down, listen to one's feelings, and reconnect with what is essential.

This wellness retreat is ideal for refocusing, regaining vitality , inner clarity and alignment , while developing a conscious and sustainable practice.

The highlights

  • Yoga immersion week accessible to all levels
  • 5 half-day hikes in addition to yoga sessions
  • An exceptional accommodation located in the heart of the Haute Maurienne Vanoise

A wonderful experience of disconnecting, with a room overlooking the glacier and a great atmosphere. I did the yoga and hiking retreat. Things I wish I had known before booking: 1. The average age is around 60+. 2. The hikes are in the afternoon, and there are no full-day excursions. 3. The yoga level is beginner-level over 3 hours, with a maximum of 1 hour and 15 minutes of actual practice (1 hour of introduction, 1 hour of meditation). 4. There is no prior assessment of fitness level or health. The "cozy" and "fun" hiking groups are formed based on the participants. 5. The buffet is very good for the price. However, the staff is not very receptive (and sometimes unpleasant) to dietary restrictions.

I participated in a yoga and hiking retreat. The yoga involved far too much talking and not enough practice. The hikes were often cut short. Overall, it was a good stay because the other participants were friendly, as were the staff at the center.

La Bessanaise is an incredible holiday center. The staff, from the waiters and mountain guides to the reception and entertainment teams, were all lovely. The location is exceptional, with stunning glacier views from the rooms and access to the spa included in the stay. Our only complaint was the program, which didn't quite meet our expectations. The yoga classes were very short (even though they were scheduled from 9 am to 12 pm), and the hikes were equally brief (2 pm to 5 pm), leaving us wanting more for most of our stay.
