We are delighted to be holding our 2016 Eco Retreat in the heart of the Dordogne, France. We have done what we do best with this retreat, our research suggests that many retreats are really just normal holidays with a few yoga classes added in, this wont be the case for ours. We pride ourselves on tailor made packages, which is why we will be contacting each and every one of our retreat attendees to find out their yoga related wants and needs. Our retreat is open to all abilities which is why we want to know more about our attendees so that we can provide an experience that suits.

About

Take this unique opportunity to immerse yourself in a natural Utopia and reveal the endless possibilities that each day can offer. Join us as the strains of modern life dissolve into the ether and let us guide you on a journey of discovery. We are offering you a chance to reconnect through the ancient language of yoga. Our eco-friendly venture, located amongst the rolling hills of the Dordogne has been beautifully hand sculpted from locally sourced Willow. The delightful guest accommodation comprises of two bedroomed Gite’s and Yurts with quality mattresses for single, twin or double occupancy. The menu has been created based on seasonal local produce and is prepared in the farm kitchen by owners Wendy and Matt who have spent the last 8 years creating this wonderful oasis amongst the sunflowers.

“We had such an amazing time here the view is absolutely breath taking. The quietness and nature took us to a completely different level of relaxation.”

– Kelvin & Viv

This retreat is suitable for adult students of all levels and abilities. No yoga or meditation experience is necessary. Variations and adjustments are provided.

What Our Eco Retreat Includes

• Havan fire ceremony

On the first night we will be welcoming all of our retreat attendees with a Havan fire ceremony in the great outdoors. Havan is a Sankrit word which refers to making offerings, we will take this opportunity to offer our energy into the retreat, to let go of the day to day stresses and strains and immerse ourselves in nature and yoga. This will be a great opportunity for everyone to get acquainted and will set the tone for the rest of the retreat. Why not kick things off with a bang!

• One hour of group yoga on arrival and departure days

We want to make sure everyone gets their daily fix of yoga. None of the classes are compulsory, it is entirely up to you if you wish to join in.

• Sunrise meditation

Wake up at sunrise to start the day with some soft awakening guided meditation practice.

• Two hours of optional group yoga each full day

These are the set yoga sessions at 9am and 5pm each full day. Breakfast and dinner will be served after each class. The yoga taught will be a sequence inspired from the Ashtanga primary series where we introduce Vinyasa and flow with the breath (Prana). We think it is best to offer a similar sequence throughout so that our students are able to notice any physical developments from the beginning of the retreat to the end.

• Four separate hours of wild card yoga in unique locations

To spice up the retreat, we are providing ‘wild card yoga.’ These sessions will be spread across the week and may be made up of different yoga styles and placed in different locations.

• Breakfast and two course evening meals

Breakfast and dinner will be part of the package. The seasonal menu will be sourced locally in keeping with the Eco theme. The food will be buffet style vegan and vegetarian food with fish dishes. All food will be prepared by site owners Wendy and Matt who are used to catering for groups of people. We will be asking each of our retreat attendees about their dietary requirements to make sure everyone s caterred for.

• Walking meditation hikes amongst the hills

Have you ever tried walking meditation? We will be giving it a go amongst the rolling hills of the Dordogne so you can try it with us! We want our guests to have as much free time as they wish and we will be giving a meditation hike should anyone wish to join.

• Local excursions in the beautiful Dordogne

There is so much to see and do in this beautiful part of France, we will be visiting the local attractions and inviting our guests to join so that we can all make the most of our beautiful surroundings.

• Plunge pool and swimming pool facilities

What a beautiful way to relax after a day filled with activities… The pool is yours.

We will try our best to teach most of the yoga classes outside however we do have a lovely barn as an alternative should the rain clouds come.

Optional Extras

Purdy and Gemma will be offering additional yoga practice and therapies to those that wish to receive one-to-one support or guidance. This will come at an additional cost.
