An 8 days retreat to immerse yourself into the depth of the practice

This retreat is open to all levels, advanced practitioners as well as beginner ones.

Through this week-long intensive program, my aim is to offer you a full immersion; not only in your practice, but also in a life that needs very little to be positively impacted by a daily practice. During this retreat, we will practice the Ashtanga Vinyasa system, Mysore style and Led style.

My promise to you:

I want this immersion to be an opportunity to unravel our beliefs and ingrained patterns, so we can deconstruct the parts of us that are no longer needed. Clearing our body from existing blockages, we declutter declutter our mind, enlightening a new space of clarity, to keep us rooted and grounded. 

This is where the the true power of Ashtanga lies: an embodied practice, and a healing space for all. As your yoga teacher, my mission if for you to step into that space, each time we’ll be in the same room. So practice after practice, you can find your true essence again.

What is the Mysore Style?

The self-practice (also called Mysore style) allows you to unfold through the Ashtanga serie, at the rhythm of your own breath; This is the opportunity to gain independence and confidence in your practice, tailored to your needs and to your body. As your teacher, I do support the use of props and modifications as much as needed. 

In a Mysore room, each practitioner is journeying through the Ashtanga series on his.er own, while being fully supported by the collective energy and the kind and loving guidance I will offer you, always making sure to create a space of care and belonging for all.
