Mind-Body–Spirit
The Château du Yoga Sivananda is one of the International Sivananda Yoga Vedanta centres (see Paris entry) whose aim is to spread ancient teachings of yoga to all. This place, formally an ashram, is located about 100 kilometres south of Paris and very close to the city of Orléans. It is a large property in a calm and peaceful setting near one of France’s largest forest. Activities take place throughout the year. As well as the normal daily ashram timetable into which you can book yourself, there are special programmes and retreats. Some examples of recent ones including Karma Yoga Weekend; Nana Yoga – Inner awakening through the power of sacred sounds with live music; Yoga and hiking; Yoga and Stress Management; Fasting Weekend; Yoga, sport and nature; Yoga and the Family; and a Festival of Yoga and the Sacred Arts.
