Yoga & Meditation Retreat: Deepening your presence
Do you need a real break? To take time for yourself?
We propose 4 days to slow down, breathe, meditate… and get back to basics. This retreat is an invitation to deepen your yoga practice and establish a stable, comfortable meditative foundation in a natural, rejuvenating setting.
The aim of the retreat is to establish real comfort in a 40-minute sitting meditation.
- Tasty vegetarian cuisine, prepared on site
- Accommodation in shared rooms in the heart of the forest
- Accessible to everyone: motivated beginners & intermediates welcome
The program:
Gentle, deep postural practices to relax the body
Breathing techniques (pranayama) to calm the mind
Guided meditation to cultivate presence
Self-reflection and theoretical workshops
Moments of silence, exchange and reconnection with nature
- Beautiful walks in a magnificent setting in the heart of the Loches forest
Take this time for yourself. Take a breath. Observe. Feel.
Use this opportunity to reconnect with yourself.
Comments from participants
Superb weekend in wonderful company! Practical and theoretical workshops to help us understand the benefits of practicing yoga and meditation. Lots of interaction, moments of reflection and simple, sincere sharing in a joyful, serene atmosphere. Cultivating inner peace together and in nature is even more powerful!
Wonderful weekend of sharing, listening and acceptance. The location is quite idyllic. A well-balanced program, with time for yourself if you like. Soothing, energizing. A retreat which, I now realize, has enabled me to set up a little internal mechanism for connecting to well-being, and that reality has less of a hold on my emotional and mental state. For that alone, I recommend it! Thank you Surya!
To date, I have attended 2 yoga retreats and loved my time there. There was a well-balanced schedule of yoga, meditation, reflection, free time and discussion of holistic health including ayurveda. The setting was calm, surrounded by nature, and the participants were all friendly and open-minded. The benefits of the retreat were instantaneous!
This retreat is the perfect way to unplug from the daily grind, spend time with yourself and discover many exciting resources. The Surya team is warm, professional and attentive to our needs and questions. You immediately feel at ease and in good hands. The atmosphere during the weekend is so great, and you make some wonderful new acquaintances!
