A YOGA RETREAT IN SALVAN SEPT 10 – 14 2025

“CULTIVATING LOVING KINDNESS”

Loving-kindness is a central pillar of the Buddhist tradition, as well as the Indian philosophy.  this principle is one of the foundations of the four infinite thoughts, the four boundless qualities,  that enable us to fully establish ourselves in happiness.

Come and Join Cécile and myself for some time in the company of other fellow practitioners, spirited beings seeking for other than the usual outer quest.

A few days tucked away from our busy lives, shielded from the daily storm of work and chores, nested in nature away from bustling cities…come and connect with other kind souls seeking for transformation.

It’s a long weekend during which we will rise in silence and enjoy tea or coffee without a word a word facing stunning Swiss Peaks…. the golden silence enables us to turn in, visit the darker corners of our mind to then dust them, wash them clean…. to renew and see all in a different light maybe.

Deep practices will set the tone of the day, in peace we will rise to start with meditation at 8am for 30 minutes followed by the experienced teacher Joanna Lancaster vocally guiding all through her tailor made spicy Vinyasa Krama classes.

Divine homemade food will of course follow the yoga and we will be fed the most scrumptious organic locally grown delicacies… we will break silence at brunch to share heartfelt conversations. Hotel Balance caters for vegetarian and vegan diets with gluten free options (all on request!)

There will be time in the afternoon to lounge, swim, go on a hike, read, nap or else.
We, are looking forward to steaming up in the sauna and immersing ourselves in the natural pool.

The classes will resume in the late afternoon with philosophy, tinted with modern psychology, Joanna’s other passion beside Asana and a sweet & soothing YIN calss taught by the master of the method, Cécile.

The topic of “LOVING KINDNESS” will be explored in all classes, we will share through talking cicles, somatic experiencs, story telling and more.

Any questions? We are only an email away or just sign up for the experience and let yourself be taken on this mystical and spiritual ride.
