Description of the Retreat

Holidays for students who have some experience of yoga and want to deepen their practice while enjoying fun and sunshine in a beautiful south of France Château.
You can expect gentle, mindful yoga and relaxation led by British Wheel trained tutor Alison Burns, combined with meditation and workshops to create a week that increases your yoga confidence and gives you the space to reflect, relax and be yourself.

Teacher/Teachings

Alison Burns has been a practising yogini for more than 30 years. She is a British Wheel trained teacher, influenced by B.K.S. Iyengar who developed a form of practice that pays close attention to the alignment of the body and the therapeutic possibilities of yoga.

Facilities

Château du Fraissinet is set is six acres of beautiful grounds on the edge of the Cévennes hills. Yoga will be in the dedicated studio, poolside or on our covered Garden Terrace with stunning views.
The Gardon river, perfect for quiet mediatation/contemplation or swimming and paddling runs alongside the grounds. There is also a swimming pool which includes a heated spa pool. An infra-red sauna and hammam are new this year and included in the price of the holidays. We also have two friendly donkeys and a vegetable plot where much of the organic vegetables you will be served are grown.

Timetable

A typical day begins with a silent walk, pranayama or meditation followed by 90 minutes of yoga asanas. Breakfast is at 9.30 and the morning is spent either exploring the grounds, swimming and soaking up the sunshine, or enjoying an activity such as a trip to the market or aromatherapy workshop. Lunch is at 1pm and the afternoon is free to read, write, swim, practise asanas or join the group paddle-boarding on the local lake. Relaxing evening yoga is from 6pm - 7pm followed by dinner.
Full timetable details are on the YogaSoleil.net website.
