GRUYÈRE, 31 May - 2 June 2024
A time for YOU
If you feel that life seems to be like running in a hamster wheel, take a moment to PAUSE, get away from your daily life, your obligations, to do list, and just be. All practices will be an invitation to reconnect to your needs, your desires and what is important for you. Remember, you can't help anyone is you feel depleted. You need to fill your own cup first. Then you have the energy to interact with and support people around you.
Yoga
We will practice my favorite tools to cultivate our energy and work on our vitality: movement, meditation, breathwork and relaxation.
You will have several long yoga sessions, allowing you to realign physically, energetically and mentally.
The morning sessions will be vitalizing, to provide you with a beautiful energy for the day, and the evening practices will be more relaxing. Everyone is welcome to join, whether you are a beginner or a seasoned student.
All yoga practices, whether from Kundalini yoga , Energy Medicine Yoga or Yin Yoga will work on our various systems helping the body come into balance and feel vibrant.
Sound journeys (sound healing)
Each part of the body is invited to find its initaly frequency though the sound.
The deep state of relaxation induced by this powerful sound massage helps to settle down, let go, calm the mind, reduce stress, regulate our heartbeat, release tension, soothe and allow us to feel vibrant and alive!
These sound journeys will deeply relax the nervous system.
Meditation
You will explore different meditation modalities, whether it is mindfulness, guided meditation or other types of meditation coming from the yogic tradition.
Meditation allows you to get to spend some time with yourself and get to know yourself better. When you practice regulary you find that you become less reactive and you have more distance with external events beyond your control. You focus more on what you can indeed control: your inner state and your reaction to what happens to you.
Nature
Our Chalet is surrounded by Nature, in the very pittoresque area of Gruyère.
During your free time you will have the opportunity to explore the area, and connect to Mother Earth. Grounding (Earthing) is also a great way to fully recharge. And May is a beautiful month when the energy is really rising, Nature is in in full bloom and the main color is vibrant green.
This sounds like a dream!

Your Teachers
Annick

She very much enjoys playing for groups (sound meditations) or giving individual therapies.
Dominique
Has almost two decades of yoga practice, five years serving as a teacher and she loves sharing all the practices she has learned along the way. She is especially passionate about energy work, and all the yoga she teaches integrate that dimension, be it in kundalini yoga or Energy Medicine Yoga.
