Looking for a Yoga Holiday in France?
Yoga centres in France and
Yoga Retreats in France are very popular

The first thing one might be tempted to think of when considering a yoga holidays in France is....the food and le Vin. Yogic? Who cares, it is part of the culture.

Well, that may be a bit revolutionary for those abstemious yogis that feel alchohol is just not up their dosha, but in moderation it complements the hugely good time a yoga holiday in France gives you.

So who does and where?image-files/marcfr.jpg

Yoga retreats in France can be found all over the place. South west east and even in the north.

Marc Woolford has been running yoga holidays in France for some years and he knows how great they can be. His holiday retreats are really seriously good fun.

There are so many great retreats and yoga holidays to choose from that it is difficult to know where to begin.

First it is I suppose important to have a feeling of where you want to take a yoga holiday in France.

A small family venture in France run not only a ski yoga holiday but also in the summer time a yoga hiking holiday in the Ardeche.

Yoga and hiking are a populr mix and you can find some interesting options here.

If you have a yoga holiday in France that you wish to promote, let us know and we can get the yoga community aware of your holiday or yoga retreat in France.

The Cathar country is a magical place. Ever been to Montsegur? The Holy Blood and Holy Grail territory is steaming with hair-on- your-arms-raising experiences.

Near Foix, itself a magic place, (Go check out the cathedral - the organist let me play Brubeck on his organ some years ago - wow, what a gas.) Anyway, there is a great retreat yoga centre, Domaine de la Gausse, in a beautiful valley in the Pyrennes. You can find from May to October daily yoga classes, meditation and self catering.

The Ariege countryside is full of prehistory and some of the oldest caves in the world with art to see - bison, spears and hunting. I visited some of these and was amazed at the creativity they had back in 9000BC but did not see the yoga postures from Magdalenian man. So Egypt still holds the record for the first recorded pictures of asanas in their hieroglyphs.

Another hugely accomplished yoga teacher, Nawajyoti runs not only yoga retreats in France, but also runs a yoga holiday in France for all comers. Her training is Ashtanga based and the yoga of Satyananda. She is based in the southern most part of the Lot region. This beautiful centre also welcomes teachers hiring the space.
