Welcome to Salt and Yarrow
Deepen Your Practice
Whether you’re a long time practitioner, or in your first few months of practicing, this retreat is for you. The daily sadhana of asana (postures), pranayama (breath expansion), and meditation will deepen your personal practice and work to strengthen your tapas (spiritual discipline). We hope to revitalize joy and exploration in your yogic journey.
Expand Your Horizons
Through the effort of your daily sadhana, you will prime your body and mind for experiencing the luxury of this enchanting landscape. Our intention is to use the daytime hours to be totally present and learn about a new culture. We want to be apart of the world, offer ourselves to the space, and bring back a little bit of the culture at the end.
Connect with Community
Traveling with like-minded souls is life changing and life enhancing. We are intentionally curating a group of thirteen so that we may not only enjoy all that Charente, France has to offer, but so that we can share in that joy with one another! We believe high value connection is the most healing magic on this planet and we’re excited to explore that with you.
Elate Your Spirit
The intention of our retreat is to explore a heart led practice. By nourishing this inner relationship, you open the potentiality to access a full spectrum life and savor each moment. We will pull teachings and techniques from Non-dual Shaiva Tantra, an ancient practice which connects you to your innate divinity and inspires expression of your essence nature from that deeply rooted place.
