What to expect

​

Lizzie offers an all-inclusive Yoga package (suitable for all levels and abilities) with spring sunshine, healthy locally sourced food, daily energising Vinyasa, calming Yin Yoga, meditation, Pranayama and a relaxing time spent in beautiful Dordogne countryside.

 

Days begin with an outside energising morning Yoga class (suitable for all levels) overlooking the peaceful Aquitaine meadows. The theme of the morning sessions are to energise, cleanse, detoxify and help restore overall balance with every person guided and encouraged to practise at their own pace with appropriate options given throughout.

 

Spend the afternoon as you please; by the pool, walking in the surrounding countryside, exploring one of the many picturesque villages or drifting down the Dordogne river in a kayak.

​

Early evening we come together to enjoy a relaxing restorative Yin Yoga class in the warm fresh air. Under the sound of the birdsong Lizzie will guide you through calming seated postures, relaxations, meditations and pranayama (breathing exercises), all to help lower stress levels, anxiety and bring a sense of stillness, perspective, balance and harmony.

​

A retreat is so much more than a holiday; It's nourishment for the soul, helping you find balance and harmony in body and mind. Lizzie invites you to come & breathe in the beauty of the Dordogne.
