Yoga

MINDFULNESS & MOVEMENT
FOR BODY & SOUL

At the Lodge, you can choose to unplug and find your inner calm, or just as easily
connect with others and discover new perspectives. A key pillar of our philosophy is Yoga – whether as a deep form of relaxation or as a vital cross-training tool to stay
flexible and agile in the surf.

Our yoga classes run throughout the entire season (four 85 minute sessions per week). When the weather is fine, we practice in the garden; if it happens to rain, we move to our cozy little barn. With our wonderful instructor Carmen, finding your flow and relaxing becomes second nature!

In addition, we host a variety of specialized Yoga Retreats at the Lodge all year
round.

Carmen, can you introduce yourself ?

” I was born in France to an Alsatian father and a Singaporean mother, I have always evolved in a multicultural and colorful environment. Cradled since my childhood by travel and sport, I like to share, debate, eat, laugh, adrenaline rushes and have my head down.
My approach to Yoga is simple, find your balance . Besides, balance is the asana (posture) that I prefer. I even made it my trademark: every geographical location sees me on my hands!
Certified by the Yoga Alliance 200 RYT, I trained in India, my grandfather’s country, at Parimutki School of Yoga and Meditation. I love to teach in a fun, energizing way, but most of all to create a positive synergy and guide towards the path of possibilities! My goal: to develop together the tools allowing you to be the best version of yourself every day and to find your balance! »

And what type of yoga do you practice?

” I offer dynamic Hata Flow classes and occasionally Yin Yoga classes (calm and relaxing). The courses are adaptable to all levels of practice by always offering several options.
Through the practice of postures ( Asana ), breathing exercises ( pranayama ) and meditation ( Dhyana ), Yoga allows you to awaken your internal balance by becoming aware of the links between your mind, your body and your soul. A class is about discovering or rediscovering: how to relax and let go, the joy of stretching and strengthening your body, how to appreciate a simple breath and reconnect with yourself. Take a break from the constant flow of your thoughts while taking care of your body. In general, a yoga class is made to feel good in your head, good in your body ! »
