What is a yoga retreat with Yogascope?
Our wellness, yoga and meditation retreats are like no other... and that's what makes them so magical. Not quite a vacation with friends, far from being a simple solo weekend, not an adventure vacation, not a luxury getaway in a boutique hotel.
We tell you a little more about who we are, and what you can expect from our yoga retreats.
Who we are :
A close-knit team of three young women, driven by the company's values: passion, optimism, awareness, benevolence and investment.
A 100% home-made travel agency: we design and organize all the trips on the site in-house. We know all the teachers and instructors personally.
A company committed to and concerned by the ecological crisis we are experiencing: as a member of the association Agir pour un Tourisme Responsable (Acting for Responsible Tourism), we are making the transition to increasingly responsible holidays.
A young company on a human scale, accessible, and driven by a real mission: to contribute to a smiling, calmer world, where open-mindedness and mindfulness are one and the same.
A real guarantee of security: by using an approved French travel agency, you are protected in your investment by the guarantees that are legally obligatory when organizing a holiday.
What we are not:
An "old-fashioned" travel agency, distributing stays based on catalogs: we don't resell or distribute last-minute courses from other companies, to guarantee their quality and protect you from hidden defects.
A hotel with "luxury" or "all-inclusive" service, reserved for a certain clientele.
A team of 80 advisors, available around the clock, whose real first name you'll never know... you'll certainly have the founder's number!
What we promise:
An unforgettable human experience, engraved deep inside you
Breathtaking views, energy-transforming practices, vegetarian meals so generous and varied you'll want to convert everyone around you... ;)
Sincere, unexpected friendships unlike any you've had since you were a child!
An experience in a magnificent house... just like home.
A real progression in your level of practice of yoga, pilates or meditation, and an intense mental soothing, in a short but perfectly orchestrated time by our teachers.
What we can't promise:
A course without twists and turns or rough edges; it can happen that inconveniences sneak into the heart of the experience. They're also part of the journey.
All-inclusive service: it's just like home, only better, but there's no table service and no one to do the rooms in the morning.
Organized group transportation: the small size of our team does not allow us to manage your transportation needs, even if we do facilitate them as much as possible.
Putting your wants and needs before those of the rest of the group
In short, our pensions are for you if :
You love yoga and have already done it at least a few times, to make sure the type on offer is right for you. Hatha, Vinyasa, Yin... there are many different ways of approaching movement, but you'll want to discover the benefits!
You love beautiful journeys in environments where nature is king and so are the elements.
Do you want to reach a milestone in your life, or simply venture out of your comfort zone...
You love community life and are aware of the effort required to connect, adjust and be flexible.
Karma yoga is a notion that doesn't scare you: driving during free time (if you can), helping the chefs by clearing up after meals, taking part in the life of the group go without saying ...
You're aware that a yoga retreat is also a time to do things independently, to appreciate the benefits, a time to think about yourself.
You have a deep love of others and are delighted at the idea of making new yogi friends, joining a real family!
You (really) need to do something good for yourself.
Well, they're not going to match your expectations if:
You've never done yoga before(not even once?), and expect the teacher to adapt his or her classes totally to your expectations.
You've come because you like the destination, but don't intend to practice every day: once again, our trips are not just solo vacations!
You expect a hotel service from the place where you are staying
You don't want your trip to be "like home", but rather expect the local staff to take care of everything.
You're not interested in meeting people who - on the face of it - have nothing in common with you.
You want an "all-inclusive" holiday where everything is programmed from morning to night, leaving no room for the unknown or for reflection.
"Because there's nothing more gratifying for us than knowing you're happy and in the right place, just as there's nothing worse than knowing you're disappointed: clarity and transparency are necessary for us to evolve alongside you. "
