Yoga is a light, which once lit, will never dim. The better your practice, the brighter the flame. B.K.S IYENGA miajacobyoga YOGA INSTRUCTOR - MIA JACOB Mia s Yoga journey started about 10 years ago. A former dancer, she first was interested in the physical side of yoga but discovered the transformative magic of yoga: the unity of body and mind, the feeling of balance and centeredness, the feeling of connection with yourself, the universe and life. Today her passion is to share this in a loving way by her teachings. She is very grateful to Sharon Gannon and her teachers at Jivamukti Berlin and New York who will always be an incredible inspiration and to all her teachers at Trimurti Yoga in India where she received her 200 RYT Yoga Alliance Teacher Certificate.

FOOD As you will all know, nutrition is just as important as exercise when it comes to maintaining a healthy lifestyle. So whilst you are focusing on your practice, our retreat chef will be working just as hard to provide you with healthy but exceptionally tasty food. Using locally sourced and seasonal produce, even using eggs from the chickens and produce from the garden where possible. Food is vegetarian, often vegan, and will also have a focus on the Chakras. Of course, you can t travel all the way to France without sampling some of the local wines, so we will provide you with local wine at dinner, and even an optional excursion to visit some of the vineyards.
