Everyone can participate in this trip. The supervision, program, or group will be tailored to each person's level.
The expert's opinion
Yoga is an activity whose goal is not to "always go further and always better." It aims to explore, to create openness in the body and mind, to let go of mental demands and the spirit of comparison in order to listen to one's inner self. Simply put, yoga allows you to be yourself. It is adaptable to all levels. Each posture is also adaptable and can be performed at the beginner, intermediate, or advanced level.

Fabienne
After a career as a consultant at the United Nations, Fabienne experienced a major turning point in 1998, marked by a profound spiritual awakening. This pivotal moment led her to radically change course: she embarked on a journey in search of meaning and truth. Through her travels, she discovered yoga, which became a cornerstone of her transformation. She settled in Tiruvannamalai, India, where she lived for thirteen years, immersed in an atmosphere conducive to contemplation and introspection. There, she met people from all over the world and, above all, she met herself. Drawing on more than twenty years of practice and teaching, Fabienne now shares her experience with diverse audiences. Through yoga, meditation, and personal development, she invites everyone to turn their gaze inward, to listen to their true nature, and to open themselves to a more conscious and authentic presence.

Day 3
Note
Activities offered:
- Hatha yoga harmonizes two opposing yet complementary energies through physical postures and breathwork (pranayama). It represents the union of the sun (ha) and the moon (tha), embodying all dualities. The class is open to everyone. There are no specific goals to achieve. Simply be aware of your limits, breathe, and relax.
- Yin yoga is a gentler, slower, and more meditative form of yoga that focuses on holding certain postures for several minutes while relaxing the muscles to activate circulation in the joints, tendons, and ligaments, thus improving flexibility. It's a way to let go, find inner peace, and cultivate deep self-acceptance.
- Meditation allows us to welcome silence, and in that silence, to let the mind be what it is, without judgment.
- Satsang is a time for exchange aimed at understanding one's true nature and healing past wounds.
