What types of YOGA will we cover:
Hatha yoga is practiced at a slower pace, with focus on the breath, controlled movements, and stretching. It helps to build resistance and patience by staying in one yoga sana for an extended period of time. Vinyasa yoga focuses on connecting the breath to your movements, which tend to be set at a faster pace. In a vinyasa practice, you can expect to stay in a constant flow of movements. Restorative yoga is practiced at a slow pace, focusing on long holds, stillness, and deep breathing - in seated and lying asanas. Yoga Nidra combines guided mental imagery with a yoga posture called Shavasana (or “corpse pose”). The goal of yoga nidra is to promote a profound state of relaxation, which differs from sleep as much as there is still an awareness of one's surroundings.
ABOUT US
Hi, my name is Guka. On top of my regular yoga classes and events, organising yoga retreats and sharing these experiences with others became my passion. It allows me to spend more time with you and focus on the yoga practice and individual needs. I will be guiding yoga asana, meditation and breathwork practice during the Yoga Camp.
More about me
Camilla is a video artist and creative soul. The Yoga Chalet belongs to her family and she decided to share this magical space with others. She has years of experience in hosting groups and co-creating and co-running the retreats. Camilla will be the Master Chef (best vegetarian meals in the entire Kanton). She will also guide us through a Yoga Nidra experience.
THE YOGA CHALET IN LES CROSETS
The Yoga Chalet is a beautiful wooden family house in Les Crosets. Four guest rooms are located on the first floor. Two of them have private bathrooms. The other two rooms share a large bathroom with a corner bath tub (and a shower). Bed sheets and towels are provided. The ground floor will be our shared space. It has an amazing and spacious open kitchen, where you can grab yourself a tea or a fruit. And also a huge dining table - we find sharing meals a very important part of the retreats. There is also a lounge space at the fireplace, with cosy sofas, where you can hang out, read a book, have your tea, chat with other participants... In the middle of it, there is an open space with a wide terrace door that opens up to the most beautiful mountain view. This is where we are going to practice yoga and if the weather allows - also on the terrace. And in the free time you can also enjoy sauna which you will find on the -1 level.
