6 days Meditation, Horse riding and Yoga Retreat in Pyrenees-France

Surrounded by the mountains, in a special place in the heart of the Pyrenees Atlantiques, we are sharing what we most love to do: meditation and horse riding. Join us for 6 days with kind french horses and enjoy the sensations of transformation as you connect to your breath, to the beauty of nature around you and the sensation of riding through the Pyrenees raw countryside. Relax into the rythm of riding cross country and find new confidence in yourself, and in your body. Learn Mindfulness meditation basics and how to apply it in your life, how to listen to your body and tune in with what you feel.

Learn to recognize autopilot and acting instead of reacting. Go deeper and develop your horse riding and meditation practice and enjoy it!

None of the activities require prior experience, all levels are welcome!

We have all the equipment you need for both horse riding and meditation/yoga, but you are welcome to bring your own gear specially if you have your own horse riding material (boots and helmet) and favourite meditation cushion (zafu) or yoga mat.

This could be a life changing experience. A transformational experience that you will carry to your daily life. In the end of this retreat you will have the techniques to slow down, to engage with your breath, to raise your level of self awareness which will lead to confidence and self-love.

The program is based on enjoying the present moment giving you tools to relieve stress, stress management and to live a more present life. You will regain control of your life and make every moment count.

Learn new skills to take home with you and feel empowered and confident beyond our 6 days together.

Experience stepping out of your comfort zone and the feelings coming with it. After this you won't be afraid to say yes to new experiences!
Mindfulness meditation and horse riding are the main core of our retreat but there will also be a Yoga class at the end of each day (to stretch and relax any muscles and joints soreness), nourishing food (local and organic), the beautiful surrounding nature that you can explore with walks, and time to relax just doing nothing.

During the retreat Manuela, the Mindfulness meditation teacher, will be always available for individual talks and offer to give an individual support to anyone who needs help with their meditation practice.

Yoga Classes with Nadine Vanmanshoven. The Yoga teacher, Nadine Vanmanshoven, will also be available for any questions during her class and we appreciate if you inform her of any limitations or injuries.

For the horse riding there will be an introduction and a short demonstration of the riding techniques used, and you always be watched and accompanied by professional and experienced teachers like Mr. Jean- Louis Birou.

And there will always be the presence of Michel, to support and help you with any questions or doubt.
