No. All levels are welcome, including complete beginners. Every posture is explained and adapted, and nobody is watching what the person next to them is doing.

Yes. A friend, a sister, your mother or your adult daughter: you share a double bed in one individual room, with €150 off per person.

Meditation and pranayama on waking, Hatha Yoga, an Ayurvedic breakfast, a workshop in the morning, the afternoon free or in nature, a reconnection time at the end of the day, Yin Yoga, dinner. The schedule stays soft: the point is not to fill every minute.

No. There are chosen times of silence — the mornings, certain practices — but also conversation, laughter and sharing circles.

Yes, travel insurance covering cancellation and repatriation is required. Check the one included with your bank card first — it is often enough.
