About Vinyasa

Louise and Robin set up Vinyasa Retreats with the aim of providing outstanding yoga retreats in beautiful locations around the world.

Both keen yogis, climbers and sailors we wanted to share our passions with other like minded people.

The team at Vinyasa Retreats all share a love of the environment and outdoors consisting of local experts and top quality yoga instructors from around the world.

We provide an inspiring, enjoyable experience that allows people to escape daily life, practice ashtanga yoga and relax in a fantastic setting.

We have known all our yoga instructors for a long time, having received instruction from them prior to setting up Vinyasa Retreats. So we can personally vouch for their inspiring yoga teaching.

We will be running yoga retreats throughout the summer months in beautiful locations in France inlcuding the Ardeche, Gorge du Tarn and near to where we live in the Alps within the Ecrins National Park.

The roots of the business are in France although we will be offering retreats further afield as the business grows.

We will continue to source the best produce in each region, from local suppliers and work with the local community to find picturesque venues.

What does Vinyasa mean?

The word Vinyasa means “breath-synchronized movement”. It is the union of breath and movement to create a seamless flow, essential to dynamic ashtanga yoga practice.
