The expert's opinion

This retreat is open to all levels, from beginners to experienced practitioners. Sessions are adapted to each individual's abilities, needs, and any limitations. No prior yoga experience is necessary.

The teaching emphasizes a progressive and body-respectful approach, combining postures, breathing, relaxation, meditation, and yoga nidra. The goal is not performance, but well-being, self-awareness, and exploring one's practice within a supportive environment.

People with pain or physical limitations are asked to report this before the start of their stay so that activities can be adapted.

I have practiced meditation in the Buddhist tradition for 30 years. This practice has opened my heart and mind and cultivated a sense of compassion towards others. In keeping with my natural abilities, learning massage and hypnosis was a natural progression for me, with the aim of releasing and healing physical tension to calm the mind.

I graduated in Thai massage and reflexology in 2007, after training in Bangkok. Wat Po is a state-recognized school that welcomes students from all over the world due to the high quality of its teaching. I was fortunate to complete a comprehensive training program, culminating in three main diplomas: traditional Thai massage (floor massage), oil massage, and foot reflexology. This Thai massage training was complemented by osteopathic knowledge acquired at the Osteo_Thai College.

In addition, I completed this cycle with two other essential trainings in my journey: Chi Nei - Tsang taught at Master Mantak Chia's school and Abdominal Detox Massage from the Thanachai massage school in 2008.

Finally, it seemed essential to me to focus extensively on Indian techniques, particularly those used in Ayurveda: Abhyanga massage and Kansu bowl massage. To this end, I trained at the Tapovan Formation school in Normandy in 2009.

Fanny, a yoga teacher since February 2013. I have been practicing yoga since 2007. In 2012, a transformative journey to India marked a major turning point, culminating in a 200-hour training in Rishikesh. I then continued my path with a 500-hour training in Natha Yoga. Today, I remain faithful to this lineage of traditional Hatha Yoga, where the practice places a central place on pranayama, the use of bandhas, visualizations, concentration, meditation, mantras, rituals, and yoga nidra. Currently, I teach in the Verdon region, offering two classes per week during the winter.
