2025... what an incredibly beautiful year with so many memorable moments....
This year I took a long break from social media, posting only when necessary. It was good for me, but I am happy to share some of those images now, that the year comes to an end. And maybe I will give a little more time to posts in the next year...well, maybe...
*We started 2025 with self-practice at a gorgeous and nourishing yoga retreat with Petri Räisännen in Thailand.
We were so happy that we will do this again in 2026...(in only a few days : )

*Shortly after we were teaching in Sri Lanka . So peaceful and joyful. My happy place!

*Followed by an adventure retreat in the morrocain mountains and the Sahara desert with .
*Summer at the wild and stunning Atlantic coast, running my naturopathy practice and teaching .leon.landes and , with so many of you who joined me again on the mat!

*Finally another fantastic retreat feat. Kathy in the Pyrenees in France.
Looking back, I can almost not believe that all this could fit into only one year...thank you all for being part of it!
In 2026 we are offering another yoga retreat in Morocco from March 30th to April 11th,
and the Pyrenees retreat from November 7th to 14th.
There is still space available, if you want to join us...contact us.

⚓ASHTANGA YOGA ET VOYAGE SONORE ⚓

DIMANCHE 20 AVRIL

ASHTANGA VINYASA YOGA:

L’Ashtanga est une forme dynamique et intense de Yoga Traditionnel qui a été développée par Sri.K.Pattabis Jois.

La particularité de l’Ashtanga réside dans l’enchaînement de différentes postures (asanas) d’une série fixe, dans un ordre précis et de manière fluide.
La chaleur interne procurée par cette pratique génère un processus de nettoyage général qui permet d’éliminer les toxines physiques, émotionnelles…
Plus qu’un simple renforcement et étirement du corps, il agit sur le mental qui est apaisé et clarifié.
Ce type de Yoga engage un travail musculaire profond qui fait ressentir son corps dans sa globalité. Le rythme de cette pratique amène à une « méditation en mouvement ».
Il développe, force, souplesse et état de concentration.

VOYAGE SONORE:

Nous avons tous des souvenirs stockés dans notre corps.

Les vibrations des sons que vous recevez lors d'un voyage sonore sont profondément thérapeutiques et traversent toutes vos cellules.
Vous sentirez les différentes vibrations des sons qui pénètrent les différentes couches d'une manière douce et en même temps profonde.
L'expérience d'un voyage sonore est différente pour chacun car chaque personne a une histoire unique.
Prenez le temps de vous reconnecter et de découvrir cette belle façon de faire de l'espace intérieur et d'avancer d'un pas plus léger dans le futur.

This autumn we welcomed at our retreat in the Pyrenees. So much joy to be leading the retreat while also participating at the same time. I always consider myself a student, and I absolutely loved to learn from the many many years of practice that Kathy offers. Her teaching is so gentle and adapted to the life of a housholder. We are very happy to announce that she will join us for our Morocco event in April as well. It's starting to fill up, so save your spot sooner than later ;)

It's time again to travel. The practice is closed, and the yoga retreat season starts for us. I have always been a nomad, and although I feel home and comfortable in many places, I always prepare my travel pharmacy of essential oils.
Here is what I usually have with me wherever I go:
* lavender - great for bites, itches, burns, and sleep
* air - essential oil blend that helps with colds, coughs, breathing difficulties, and asthma
* zengest - good for digestive problems like diarrhea, constipation, nausea, bloating
*deep blue - excellent blend for muscle strains and pains
* on guard - immune blend to stay healthy
* peppermint - reliefs and cools if you have a headache and also good for colds.
* oregano - fungus/ candida and digestion
* melaleuca - great for acne and pimples, fungus, insect bites, and athletes foot
What is the content of your travel pharmacy?

This weekend, I finally took the time to reconnect to the method that changed my life completely.
Since I was a teenager, mysticism, philosophy, and other religions were one of my favourite interests.
Shortly after high school graduation, I travelled to Sri Lanka and India in 2001 to learn how to meditate. It wasn't easy, and luckily, I found yoga on my way to prepare me for long hours of sitting when I was finally ready to face my first Vipassana course in 2010.
I had been trying out different kinds of meditation before, but I always had the impression there was something missing.
When I started Vipassana, it immediately clicked. This was the missing link that I was looking for, and it felt like coming back to myself. It frees me from all sorts of miseries that I create in my own mind. It gives me the power to change since I cannot change anybody else, but myself.
Have you ever tried mediation? What is your method to meditate?

Backbending and drop backs have never been my favourite part of the asana practice.
Many years ago, I felt very uncomfortable going in this direction. Opening the front body was a real challenge and literally took my breath away.
Over the years, I learned how to breathe comfortably, be stable, and still.
It still takes all my concentration and confidence, although I know "I can do this!"
If you are working on your backbends, here are a few pointers to make the journey easier.
*Keep your legs strong and grounded. Focus on the internal rotation. Keep your feet parallel.
*Lengthen your spine all the way before even going backwards
*Open your chest/heart region before bringing the head back
* Keep your chin tucked at first, lengthening through the neck. Activate your neck muscles to create space and comfortably bend the head backwards.
*Only after full extension, bring your arms back.
*Finally, bend your knees.
*Practice with a wall first to feel comfortable in your breath. I usually extend 3 times against a wall before drop backs.
All these principles apply for any kind of backbend /front body stretch.
There should never be a feeling of compression or pain. Backbending strengthens your back muscles and helps you to keep your spine healthy. Make sure to get help from your teacher to be safe!
In this picture, I was lucky to get help from , who will also be teaching with us in our next retreat in the Pyrenees.

Autumn has arrived, and so has the common cold.
It often begins with an itchy throat, which then leads to more symptoms like a running nose, cough, low energy, etc.
The moment you feel an itchy throat, chew on some cloves to desinfect and kill the intruders.
Yes, the taste is incredibly strong, but so is the effect.
Don't chew on more than 4 cloves a day. Drink plenty of hot liquids like ginger lemon tea to help you stay fit and healthy.
