IYENGAR YOGA SUMMER RETREAT: Deepening & Stillness in the Lot (France)
Dates: August 16 – August 22, 2026
Are you seeking a residential retreat where precision, detail, and personal growth take center stage? This summer intensive offers a profound experience in an authentic 18th-century farmhouse in Prendeignes (near Figeac). An oasis of calm that invites introspection and physical rejuvenation.
Yoga & Methodology by Simon (Certified Level 2)
The sessions are led by Simon, Level 2 certified in Iyengar Yoga and Master in Physical Education. Simon brings a motivating and energetic dynamic to his teaching, balanced by a caring, attentive presence and clear technical explanations. Instructions and personal guidance are available in English, French, and Dutch, ensuring every student feels both physically challenged and individually supported.
The program is structured with a progressive approach, allowing us to go deep while respecting the current state of the body. By working intelligently and with awareness, we ensure a practice that is profound and effective, yet free from harm or pain. We aim to complete the majority of the sessions in the morning, leaving ample time for rest and reflection in the afternoon.
Throughout the week, a variety of asana families is explored: from powerful standing poses, practices for recovery, and dynamic work to deep backbends, twists, and inversions.
PROGRAM AND UNIQUE FOCUS
Serenity at Sunrise: "Before the world starts talking, we listen to the breath." Every day begins in total silence with an hour of pranayama before breakfast.
Open Practice (The 5th Hour): In addition to the regular sessions, a daily optional fifth hour is provided. This is an 'open practice' session where Simon offers individual guidance on developing a self-practice or finding therapeutic answers to specific physical inquiries. This hour elevates the retreat to a level of personal coaching.
Atmosphere: While technical quality is paramount, the atmosphere is warm and authentic.
WHO IS IT FOR?
This retreat is designed for practitioners who wish to take their yoga to the next level.
Experience: A minimum of 6 months of experience with a certified Iyengar teacher is required.
Introductory Meeting: New students who haven't practiced with Simon yet are very welcome, but are asked to attend an (online) class or an introductory chat beforehand.
