Following our very successful French retreats over the last 5 years, we once again return to Les Passeroses, set in the heart of rural Charente. The peaceful and quiet location is surrounded by rolling countryside, vines, maize and sunflowers which fill nearly every field. Set low into the side of a hill the 'Longere' farmhouse enjoys great privacy and is not overlooked. The large oval swimming pool is next to the house, and from the terrace are views out over the rolling hills.
Your yoga sessions with Silva will include many of the fabulous Dru energy block release sequences, which are energetically amazingly powerful and great tools for stress release and re-energising. We will also work with classic asanas but with the Dru flow aspect integrated into the experience. Imbalances, whether they are physical, emotional or mental can be brought back into harmony and balance. This is the yoga that really puts a smile on your face!

The shared accommodation consists of twin and triple sharing; subject to availability there is limited single accommodation with a supplement charge. Each room is simply furnished with an eye for finish and detail, giving a feel of luxury. All rooms have views over the countryside. Our yoga space is a beautiful barn renovation with oak floor and dramatically tented ceiling. Light pours in from three large windows. This week will be structured in a way that gives everyone a safe and supported environment, taking the practices at their own pace and level. There will be time for walking, talking, exploring the local countryside or just chilling out by the pool. |
