Yoga & Countryside

« With every bite of food steeped in the herbs and oils of Provence he seemed to absorb a lit­tle more of the land that lay ahead; it was as if he were eat­ing the sur­round­ing coun­try­side. » Nina George

Yoga between almond trees and lavender

Come and reju­ve­nate with a yoga ses­sion fol­lowed by relax­ation in fields of wheat and clary sage.

Intox­i­cat­ed by the scent of Provençal laven­der, awak­en your sens­es under the olive and almond trees, typ­i­cal of Haute Provence.

In spring, take advan­tage of the prac­tice under the almond trees that are already bud­ding at the end of win­ter for the ulti­mate plea­sure of the sens­es. Among the blos­som­ing trees, enjoy the fresh­ness of the land­scape in a pas­toral set­ting, with the snow-capped moun­tains of the Hautes-Alpes in the back­ground.

In sum­mer, you can con­tin­ue to pam­per your­self in the shade of the fruit trees at Les Grandes Marges, dur­ing a ses­sion filled with the essence of aro­mat­ic plants whose scents tan­ta­lise your nos­trils.

Program

Take a guid­ed tour at Les Grandes Marges estate, and dis­cov­er the meth­ods used in sus­tain­able and organ­ic farm­ing, get a feel for the land and taste the fruits of the earth­’s labour.
