At the Ashram de Yoga Sivananda, Orléans, Loire Valley, France
The London Centre organises group travel twice yearly to France for rejuvenation retreats at the Ashram de Yoga Sivananda in Orléans. You can join the retreat on your own, with a friend or bring your family.
Enjoy days of rejuvenation and relaxation in the midst of the French countryside. Discover the benefits of classical yoga and meditation, whether you are a beginner or experienced yogi, young or old, fit or not so fit.
The retreat allows you to reconnect with yourself in the beautiful, natural surroundings of the Sivananda Ashram – a haven of peace in the Loire Valley. Come alone, with friends or family – all are welcome to start or deepen their yoga practice, connect to the practice of meditation and enjoy the transformative power of the yogic lifestyle.
