Come to practice Ashtanga Yoga with Bianca Oliveira
We invite you to immerse yourself in a week Ashtanga retreat with Bianca Oliveira, Authorised teacher level II, whilst you enjoy the tranquility and beauty of the French countryside, resting in a stunning and beautiful Chateau.
Our Accommodation:
At Ashtanga France we have two houses within the same grounds. You can either choose to stay at the Château or at the Cottage. Both have their own swimming pool, common areas to sit, relax and enjoy nature and both are available for everybody to use.
Location:
If you are looking to escape to tranquility and surround yourself in never ending vineyards and countryside then you have found the right place. Wake up birdsong and gaze at the stars at night, marvel at the Eagles and Buzzards soaring on the updrafts in the late afternoon heat and walk through our extensive grounds to watch the heron’s patrolling the lake.
If you want to venture further afield then we are surrounded by pretty villages, many dating back to medieval times. The impressive river Garonne is a few kilometers away as is the famous Canal du Midi here you can hire canoes or take a boat trip. Bicycle hire is available locally.
As you’d expect, there are numerous wine tasting Châteaux in the area and we are happy to organise visits. Bordeaux and Toulouse is worth a visit if your have time, it’s about 1.15 hour by train.
Our food
During Bianca’s retreat, we will follow the principle of wholesome, nourishing and freshly prepared vegetarian food. Our garden provides a selection of organic vegetables and herbs that are picked daily according to the season.
We also support our local farmers who grow organic vegetables and fruits. We believe the best meals are those prepared with the highest quality ingredients we can find.
