According to yoga philosophy, peace isn’t a final destination but a continual process along a winding path. Unfortunately, there’s no shortcut to arriving at indefinite tranquility. Luckily you can take a break from your regular routines, demands, and environments to reorient and refill your inner reserves on a nourishing, peace-inducing, luxurious Journey to Tranquility Yoga Retreat in France.
A highlight of this week-long yoga vacation to Normandy is the opulent accommodations. What once was a small hub of fishermen and farmers has now grown into a serene sanctuary that perfectly balances modernity with its rich historical roots. The medieval mansion turned eco-friendly elegance is known for unrivaled hospitality.
You’ll be supported to release the stress and tension of your daily life as all parts of you are exquisitely tended in Tara’s twice-daily expertly crafted classes. Yoga sessions include philosophy talks, chanting, meditation, purposeful active movement, and deeply restful Restorative Yoga.
At night you’ll sleep well in a supremely comfortable room that is eloquently decorated to tell a unique story to inspire and rejuvenate you. The center’s commitment to high quality sleep is felt in the sumptuous top-tier, French-made bedding.
Not all yoga happens on the mat and the spaciousness of the week’s schedule allows plenty of time just for you. Book a massage, connect with others in unhurried conversations, read a book or bask in the afternoon sun. Enjoy a special evening that will unfold with laughter, good company, and the celebration of France’s diverse and extraordinary wine heritage with a wine tasting.
Also included in this retreat is a tour of one of the most picturesque villages in France called Veules-les-Roses. You’ll embark on an adventure into the diverse history, coastline, and culture of the wider Normandy region to learn the fascinating stories of the 19th century villas, cottages, and watermills. Then stroll through the quaint artisans market and enjoy a French picnic in the countryside. The day ends with a visit to the incredible site where Claude Monet, the impressionist painter, came to capture the different lights of the Alabaster Coast. Admire a magnificent panorama on the cliffs and venture down the Gorge des Moutiers towards the sea.
From your stay in the supremely comfortable accommodations in this historic manor, to the exquisite meals made from locally sourced ingredients, the empowering and settling yoga practices, and the friendly welcoming energy of the other participants, you will be supported in reorienting on your path to tranquility. Join Tara and an uplifting, encouraging community of like-minded souls on this lavish and unforgettable yoga vacation.
