Relax, recuperate and regenerate at the Alive Centre, Couzedoux, South West France.

A retreat centre set in the enchanted valley of Collonges la Rouge, close to the rolling rivers of the Dorgogne. A truly sacred and magical setting ...

I spend a good proportion of my year at this stunning location. A few times a year I hire out the beautiful barn studio and put on workshops to run over a weekend or a week. On these occasions, you can book in accommodation at the barn (room for 6 people max staying @ €50/night b+b)...12 people max attending. Or if the barn is fully booked, you can just stay at a nearby guest house (I can put you in touch), or camp nearby during an appropriate season.

The barn is also for hire all year round, so if there are a few of you that would like come over and have your own private yoga retreat with me, check with my calendar - we can see if the barn is free and work something out.

Once or twice a year there, I am involved in a very special personal development week at the place, called 'ROOTS AND WINGS' - which combines yoga practice with spontaneous dance/movement to music, walking in nature and group work...next one My 2010.

The rest of the time that I am there, I am available for body reintegration treatments, one to one tuition as well as for couples and small groups. (more information on my 'private treatments and tuition' page)

About the Course...

The program on these weekends is designed to give you a direct experience of a range of beneficial yoga practices, and is appropriate for anyone wishing to develop depth in their yoga. Whether you have just started or are a long term practitioner, the principles behind the deepening process are the same. The main emphasis will be on developing freedom and balanced support in posture, as well as finding calm in the breath (some breathing work will be incorporated). And there will be plenty of time to look at specific issues that you may be interested in. There will also be opportunities to explore deep relaxation & meditation techniques, and possibly some voice work if there is interest (I like to chant a little to end sessions - i find it a very effective means of helping people to relax at a very fundamental level).
