Yoga and Hiking Retreats in the French Alps

Wild Soul Yoga & Hiking Mountain Retreat

Book for 5th – 11th August

Is your wild soul calling you? or is it drowned out by your continuous loops of thoughts and being constantly plugged-in. Perhaps you only hear the urban noise of town/city not the subtle sounds of nature. When was the last time you really noticed the phases of the moon and how illuminated nature becomes under the light of a full moon.

It’s almost impossible to describe in words the magic of what happens to you in this special mountain retreat, high in the French Alps, near Megeve. This is home, where your wild soul is encouraged to be seen, heard and nourished with yoga and hiking, meditation, kirtan, journaling, art and other processes.

This is a real yoga retreat, away from the way we usually live, of being constantly “plugged-in” and on call, of being in isolation, of being in routines we don’t want to be in. This unique place is where you learn to re-wild and connect to yourself, to others, to nature, to unhurried time, to stillness and inhabit a simple way of living.

By being in community, sharing our fears with other soul explorers, we find their fears are the same, just tied up in a different package or story. This bond helps us find our courage to move forwards and in the mountain yoga retreat space, you are supported and challenged by nature herself.

Re-discover your spirit, your passion for life, sit quietly and watch the kaleidoscope of light over the mountain tops as you become curios about your habits and thoughts and begin to inhabit your body rather than just your mind. The rhythms of daily life in this mountain yoga retreat will revolve around; our two daily yoga practices (dynamic embodied & restorative), meditation and breath work (pranayama).
