Mindful movement & Meditation

Yoga originates (some 4000 years ago!) out of the desire to prepare the mind and body for meditation, which is a focused free-flow mind-state. Through daily yoga classes, customised to you your needs, explore the ways our movement and breath can enhance creativity and soothe the nervous system; a relaxed mind is a creative mind!

Sailing yacht day trip

Explore the bay of Saint Florent and anchor at some divine hidden coves and beaches on an exclusive wooden sailing boat day trip! This is a private charter and an opportunity to dive into the azure Mediterranean, to loll in the sun, to recharge and dream away…
