In a few words
Embark on a unique adventure where sailing is combined with mindfulness , between navigation, yoga practices, self-discovery and life on the water... This retreat, designed primarily for women , prioritizes intimacy – only three participants – aboard a 10.50m sailboat. You will be guided by Céline, an experienced skipper and sailing instructor, as well as a yoga teacher and Ayurveda practitioner .
Each day alternates between sailing lessons for all levels, shared meals, free time, water activities, and self-exploration practices (gentle yoga (Hatha, Nidra) / Ayurveda workshops) , all in a spirit of sharing and respect for each person's pace . Stopovers in secluded coves become the setting for a profound reconnection with nature and with oneself.
Guided by the four A's of the NAVASANA sailing and yoga school – Autonomy , Grounding , Attention , Adventure – this retreat invites you to learn to sail or to confirm and improve your knowledge and technique, to gain confidence, but also to slow down and cultivate presence , all while exploring inspiring seascapes . A human and sensory adventure , far removed from any pursuit of performance, to let yourself be carried by the wind and encounters, to journey together in sisterhood, to seek balance and to be amazed.
PLEASE NOTE: Two other options are available online: a 4-day trip in May departing from Ajaccio and a 7-day tour around Corsica in July and August.

Day 5
Note
This program is indicative! Every stay is different…Each day retains an element of improvisation depending on the weather conditions, the group's energy, and your individual needs and freedoms…
We will choose the navigation plan and the themes of the courses (mainly sailing but also relaxation, yoga and ayurveda) together, according to your desires, the weather and the anchorage locations which are more or less wild and suitable for our activities.
Accommodation
🚢 Sailing cruise ship - Days 1 to 4
Taivavao is an 11m sailboat including a beautiful rear platform which will allow you to sunbathe, go into the water, shower, meditate, chill…
With its mahogany interior and teak deck, Taivavao (Hallberg Rassy 352) is a very pretty sailboat decorated with details gleaned from travel.
On board there are theoretically 7 berths but to maximize everyone's comfort there will only be 4 of you. Your skipper, Céline, will sleep in the rear cabin, accompanied by all the equipment necessary for the cruise.
Three berths for the crew: one in the forward cabin and two in the saloon. The mattresses are memory foam and very comfortable.
IMPORTANT: A draw will be held on the day of your arrival to allocate berths. Crew members often prefer the spacious saloon.
The boat's bathroom is shared (electric toilet & sink) and the (hot) showers are taken outside. You get used to it quickly!
Managing privacy, sharing, harmonious living together, and respecting community and safety rules is part of the adventure! Rest assured that everything will be in place to ensure everyone finds their own space and can express their needs.

The ferry terminal is just a short distance from the sailboat; Céline will pick you up in the dinghy. Crossings are usually overnight. There are more economical options without a cabin. Céline can also share some tips for traveling more comfortably and at a lower cost, as well as a discount code for Corsica Ferries.
If your ferry arrives in Ajaccio around 7 a.m., you can leave your luggage with Céline, who will keep it until your boarding around 3 p.m. Similarly, for an evening ferry departure, your luggage can remain in storage on board after disembarkation in the late morning.
Ajaccio offers many opportunities to pass the time pleasantly: walks in the city, cultural discoveries and nearby beaches to fully enjoy the day.
