Yoga Intensive
Step into an extended study retreat at La Borde Blanque in Antugnac, a focused 11-day (10-night) immersion blending classical yoga philosophy with sustained practice. This intensive is aimed at experienced practitioners and teachers who want to move from intellectual understanding into embodied wisdom: close readings of the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali and the Hatha Yoga Pradipika, daily asana, pranayama and progressive meditation training. Expect a soulful, disciplined rhythm that turns study into living practice.
Highlights at a glance:
- Deep textual study & practical application of the 8 limbs
- Daily “shakti” morning practices (Ashtanga, Kriya, Vinyasa) and quieter evening “shiva” practices (Yin, long holds)
- Focus on bandhas, mudras, pranayama and sequencing for teaching/teaching-ready practice
Practice & Curriculum
The curriculum interweaves theory and embodied practice so philosophy isn’t just discussed — it’s lived. Mornings build heat and capacity with dynamic practices; afternoons and evenings emphasize restorative work, pranayama, and multiple meditation lines that train attention toward higher states. Workshops cover practical teaching skills (sequencing, fascia-aware practice), nutritional considerations, and how to design sustainable daily practices.
What you’ll work on (examples):
- Detailed study of Chapters I & II of the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali and key passages from the Hatha Yoga Pradipika
- Asana variations for different bodies, bandha/mudra practice, and advanced pranayama protocols
- Progressive meditation training across several traditions, with guidance on integrating practice into daily life
Stay & Practicalities
You’ll be based at Domaine de Mournac, a restored 14th-century estate set in woodland and vineyards with a heated outdoor pool, shared studios, and peaceful study spaces. Rooms are renovated with en-suite bathrooms and quiet views — the ideal setting for sustained practice and evening study. Wi-Fi/access is limited to preserve focus; the environment supports a true retreat container.
Included & essentials:
- Ten nights’ accommodation, three vegetarian meals daily (including a 3-course dinner), unlimited herbal tea/coffee and snacks
- Daily practice, workshops, Sutra/Hatha study sessions and pool/studio access
- Bring layered clothing, a journal, sturdy walking shoes, and (if you prefer) your own mat; pre-reading Yoga Sutras of Patanjali / Hatha Yoga Pradipika is recommended.
Optional extras (on request): private tutorials, extra treatments, and tailored teacher feedback.
