Join Nik Kiyoko for a life-changing yoga experience in Chateaubriant, France! If you are looking to deepen your practice and correct your alignment, this retreat is designed especially for you, allowing you to immerse yourself in the tranquil beauty of the countryside surrounding Chateaubriant, where ancient medicinal Zen yoga techniques will guide you towards a more balanced and fulfilling practice. Yoga is not something you do, it is not even a hobby; it is a lifestyle. Come and discover what it feels like to immerse yourself in the ancient world of Zen.
Have you ever wondered why you are asked to take five deep breaths in downward dog or what the unique distance between your hands and feet is? Are you new to yoga, perhaps practicing online at home or once a week in a large class with little to no feedback on your alignment and postures?
This is a unique opportunity to delve deeper into each basic yoga posture. Using Zen discipline, you will explore the ancient medicinal practice of well-being (not the modern yoga often taught through home practice on the internet or in large Western classes), covering in detail over 50 basic hatha postures.
