Yoga and walking in the Pays d’Aix

A mind­ful walk in har­mo­ny with your breath­ing and the rhythm of your steps. Yoga ses­sion with a view of Mont Sainte-Vic­toire.

Take some fresh air and reju­ve­nate the body on an out­ing to the Parc départe­men­tal de Roques-Hautes.

Get in con­tact with nature, let go and for­get your every­day wor­ries.

The nat­ur­al oxy­gena­tion of the body pro­vid­ed through walk­ing fol­lowed by the breath­ing work done through yoga, ensures revi­tal­i­sa­tion, improves self-con­fi­dence and inner peace.

Program

We’ll start the walk at Cézanne’s mill in Le Tholonet. You’ll hear all about this land­mark, sym­bol­ic of the link between Cézanne and Aix.

Intro­duc­tion to mind­ful walk­ing in the heart of the scrub­land with your guide. Breathe, walk through the pine for­est and feel a wave of well-being sur­round you in this nat­ur­al envi­ron­ment.

After an hour’s walk, enjoy a hatha yoga ses­sion at the top of a nat­ur­al belvedere, fac­ing Mont Sainte-Vic­toire. At the end of the class, you’ll be offered an herbal ayurvedic tea and veg­an treats.

The walk will con­tin­ue in a loop along the Zola dam, named after the writer Emile Zola’s father, then we’ll ascent a lit­tle hill to see the red-ocre rocks fin­ish­ing at the Cézanne mill.
