 FRANCE
September 8-15, 2012
Our yoga retreat will be at ETRES AUX ANGES near DURAS in south west France. It means, at the height of angels, and surely is!! Located in sweeping green hills the old stone buildings overlook the fields of sunflowers. I took a group to this enchanting Chateau La Perroterie this past September for a retreat and was amazed at the food, accommodation and attention of the owners Karen and John Lamb. I booked a week for us next fall and proceeded to check-out the activities in the area such as: wine-tasting, hot thermal pools, massage on site, the ancient castle in town, the chocolate factory, local cafes and restaurants.
Please view their website, www.theretreatinfrance.com for beautiful detailed photos of the rooms and grounds, plus the most impressive menus. We ate a le francais three times a day!!
The Chateau La Perroterie is near a small medieval village in southwest France, close by is the intriguing city of Bordeaux www.bordeaux-tourisme.com the entire area surrounding the chateau is historically superb from ancient caves to traditional architecture. I led a retreat to this area in 2008 and 2011 and we had such a good time in all genres: yoga, touring, learning, and culturally enhancing this way of teaching. We will have time to explore the nearby area during the retreat and afterwards you can extend your travels with friends, partners, or some of us from the retreat, to many other sites and /or countries.
Mornings will be dedicated to your yoga practice as I guide you in my style of effortless is best method. I did several workshops this past summer with Diane Long, Marc Woolford and Louise Simmons enhancing this belief. Now I want to pass this work on to you
