In a few words
During this course, you'll combine learning to sail with discovering yoga in unique locations in Brittany. Learn to navigate, breathe, and take the time to reconnect with yourself.
Hoist the sails, breathe!
With this Sailing & Yoga course, embark on an experience that combines learning to sail a habitable boat with moments of discovering yoga .
On one hand, you learn to maneuver, to read the sea and to find your place in the crew. On the other hand, you explore movement, breathing and sensations through accessible yoga sessions.
Two practices that come together around the same desire: to gain confidence, to listen to oneself and to discover new sensations.
You don't need to be a yoga pro or a seasoned sailor to embark. You just come with your curiosity, your desire to learn, and the joy of discovery.
These two worlds have more in common than it seems!
Yoga sessions punctuate this adventure: moments to loosen the body, explore breathing, work on balance and refocus after a day at sea.
All this in a natural setting that invites you to slow down, observe and fully enjoy the experience.

Equipment to bring
- Footwear: Remember to wear closed, non-slip shoes, and boots if they might be useful in case of rain! The most important thing is to be comfortable in your shoes and stay dry!
- A pair of gloves if you want more comfort
- A hot water bottle can sometimes be useful in case of seasickness or a sudden chill!
- A sleeping bag (a compact model to save space. It can sometimes get chilly on a boat, so don't hesitate to take a sleeping bag rated for temperatures between 3 and 10°C).
- A fitted sheet or sleeping bag liner (the bunks are covered in imitation leather, for comfort a fitted sheet (single) or a sleeping bag liner can help you get a better night's sleep!)
- A pillow (depending on your needs)
- Earplugs (as needed)
- A headlamp (this can be useful)
- A toiletry bag (opt for biodegradable products (soap often ends up in the sea) and a microfiber towel (saves space and dries quickly))
- A soft bag (it can be rolled up and slipped into the bottom of a cupboard to optimize space)
- A small backpack (for stopovers or to keep your valuables close at hand)
- A waterproof pouch (if you want to keep your most valuable equipment safe from water when you're on deck)
Clothing to bring
- Warm clothes all year round and summer clothes for the months of July and August
- A pair of flip-flops/thongs for the toilets during stopovers or on the boat to be comfortable!
- Comfort (layer 1): technical t-shirts (sports type) that wick away perspiration.
- Insulation (layer 2): a thick fleece or a synthetic down jacket (avoid cotton which never dries).
- Protection (layer 3): Waterproof clothing, a foul-weather jacket or windbreaker and sailing overalls (we can lend you some, contact us before you leave!).
