Friday 31 May – Thursday 6 June 2024 (max. 8 people)
Join us for 5 full days (6 nights) on a chilled out yoga & walking/hiking trip to the beautiful Haute Pyrenees.
Your self catering base will be in the lovely Unstoppable Pyrenees newly renovated Gites in the foothills of the French Pyrenees, between the historic sites of Chateau de Mauvezin and Abbaye de L’Escaldieu.
As part of your stay there will be two yoga sessions included each day (more about your teacher Ben HERE), an early ‘wake up to the mountains’ session to set you up for the day ahead and an evening recuperative/recovery session to get you ready for your evening be that sitting on the terrace, glass in hand, watching the sundown dance over the high mountains or heading out into one of the local towns.
The day time can be filled with activities of your choice, hiking, walking, wild swimming, siteseeing or maybe a trip into a town market. Alternatively you may choose to sit, read, mooch, enjoy the venue!
This is not a traditional yoga retreat with the focus all on your practice and self reflection (although you will likely be doing plenty of this), the focus here is to spend your time enjoying the venue and the pyrenees, doing some walking/hiking (routes and support provided) and enjoying some yoga in a small group setting (maximum 8 people).
If you miss the morning yoga session because you want a lie in, or maybe choose to spend the day chilling on the terrace with a glass of ‘fill in the blank’ … it’s totally up to you … no judgement!
There will also be the option to book yourself in for a massage/craniosacral treatment on site.
No experience of Yoga is necessary.
