In a few words
In the heart of unspoiled nature, this rejuvenating stay in the Morvan invites you to a true break from everyday life. Located on the banks of the Yonne river, in a region renowned for its majestic lakes and dense forests , this privileged setting promotes tranquility, disconnection, and letting go.
Designed for a group of no more than 5 people , this intimate retreat combines self-discovery with moments of sharing. Your days will be structured around Hatha Yoga practice, pranayama exercises, as well as meditative walks and rejuvenating forest bathing . A vegetarian cooking workshop will further enrich this experience focused on conviviality and well-being.
To complete this getaway, a trip on an electric boat along the Nivernais Canal will lead you to the impressive Collancelle vaults , a remarkable passage through three secret tunnels. A gentle and balanced interlude to deeply recharge your batteries.

Management
French
I teach Hatha Yoga. I completed the Sivananda Yoga Teacher Training at the Ashram in Neuville-aux-Bois (45). Hatha Yoga originated in India and arrived in the West in the 20th century. It awakens our spirituality through asanas (postures), pranayama (breathing exercises), and meditation. "Ha" and "Tha" represent the union of the sun and moon. "Yoga" comes from "yug," meaning union or control. It is accessible to everyone, from beginners to advanced practitioners, from the youngest to the oldest. There is no competition. The postures should be practiced effortlessly and without strain. Through stretching and releasing muscles and tendons, it improves blood flow to the joints and cartilage. Practicing all forms of yoga helps increase energy and restore confidence in one's body and self. It helps reduce stress, calm the mind, and improve flexibility, memory, and concentration.
