Samadhi Yoga

IMMERSION

Nous vous invitons à vous immerger dans la paisible campagne toscane pour quelques jours, où vous pourrez vous défaire de vos tracas, déposer vos fardeaux et dégager de l’espace en vous, pour permettre à l’énergie vitale de circuler librement. Olivia Tüscher vous guidera dans des pratiques qui révèleront les blocages et stagnations énergétiques, physiques, mentales et émotionnelles, et qui visent à recréer du flux vital et de l’ouverture, là où le corps en demande.

EXPÉRIENCE

Lors de ce voyage bénéfique et transformateur, vous prendrez profondément conscience de votre corps, en mouvement ou au repos, de votre respiration, de vos pensées et de votre présence. A la pratique des postures de yoga (“asana”), vous intégrerez des exercices de respiration yogique (“pranayama”) et de méditation (avec “mantra” et “kriya”) qui vous conduiront au coeur de vous-même et à l’apaisement. En toute confiance, vous jouirez pleinement de la sagesse, joie et vitalité de votre corps.

OLIVIA TÜSCHER

Depuis 15 ans, Olivia étudie et enseigne différentes pratiques yogiques, notamment le Hatha Raja Yoga, le Dharma Yoga, la méthode Iyengar, le Hatha Vinyasa et le Liquid Flow ainsi que diverses autres techniques qui continuent d’inspirer sa pratique, sa vie et son cheminement. Aujourd’hui, Olivia enseigne le « Samadhi Flow », une pratique intuitive et consciente, composée d’enchaînements lents et créatifs, portés par le souffle. Elle s’inspire de plusieurs voies de yoga, notamment Hatha, Kriya, Bhakti et Raja Yoga. La sienne est une pratique douce et profonde, qui va bien au-delà de la maîtrise des postures corporelles. Elle vous guidera avec bienveillance, humilité, patience, humour et compréhension, afin d’aider chacun à atteindre un équilibre harmonieux entre le corps et l’esprit. En partageant sa passion, Olivia se plaît à générer le bien-être, la joie et la sincérité dans le rapport à soi, aux autres et à la vie.

POUR QUI?

Que vous soyez un(e) yogi chevronné(e) ou un(e) débutant(e), cette immersion est une opportunité pour approfondir vos connaissances et explorer de nouvelles techniques. Elle s’adresse à toute personne prête à développer une pratique de mouvement, respiration et méditation consciente, enracinée dans la tradition et constante. Le plus important est votre motivation, votre dévouement et votre engagement envers votre propre développement personnel. Pour tout doute sur la participation, veuillez contacter Olivia par mail à info@soham.yoga .

Yoga Retreat with Daniela Dibenedetto, Daya Deepa Yoga

Will you heed your heart’s call?

The hero’s and heroine’s journey, described by mythologist Joseph Campbell, is a universal cycle of transformation, growth, and self-discovery. Just as the heroine and hero who answer the call of adventure face challenges and change in the process, our yoga practice is an inner expedition, an exploration of our personal challenges, our limits, and our potential.

Through yoga poses we evoke each stage of the hero’s and heroine’s journey. Our yoga mat becomes the landscape of our adventure, a place where we face our fears, learn from our mistakes, and ultimately discover our inner power. As with any quest, there will be moments of strength and moments of vulnerability.

This trip takes you to the heart of the Tuscan countryside, to Podere Trafonti, an enchanting eco-estate in the province of Siena. A magical place to practice yoga; explore the countryside on foot or by bike; share vegetarian, local, seasonal, organic and delicious cuisine; taste notable Tuscan wines; bathe in a natural hot spring or in the pool; recharge your batteries in contact with nature; get lost among the winding streets of a medieval village; admire art and architectural treasures; or just rest and be.

You will be guided by Daniela Dibenedetto, traditional Hatha Yoga teacher in Nice, according to the teachings of the silent Yogi of Madras, Sri Sri Sri Satchidandanda, which were transmitted to her by her teacher Walter Thirak Ruta, thanks to 4 years of training at the Yoga school Pramiti founded by him in Ventimiglia.

“I consider yoga as a non-competitive and non-performing practice, as a tool that each of us can adapt to our own life and needs in order to find a moment of peace, serenity, balance, harmony and an opportunity to look within and evolve.” Daniela Dibenedetto, Daya Deepa Yoga

Open to adults aged 18 and over. For all levels of yoga practice. In French (and Italian). minimum 6 and maximum 10 participants.

Only a few places left, sign up soon!

Poetry of an Infinite Body

Poetry of an Infinite Body. Yoga, Meditation and Drawing.

12-15 September 2024

During this retreat, you will be guided by Vidya Gastaldon in practicing Yoga according to the Kashmiri tradition, in which you freely and consciously explore the body’s movements, carried by the energy of the breath. You will connect to the power of silence and through it learn to become more aware of how your body, mind and emotions interact. In observing yourself  without judgment, you will meet and own your limits and resistances, thus allowing for an intense experience of the present moment.

The afternoons will be devoted to drawing mirror portraits in small groups.

Both practices reflect on our relationship to borders and connections. Those with the ‘other’ for the portrait, those with ‘space’ for the yoga practices. When we allow our minds’ and eyes’ perceptions to unfold, we change our conscious and sensible relationship with the environment.

Vidya Gastaldon was born in 1974 in an Ashram in France. At the age of 20, she was introduced to the fundamental Yoga practices (Raja Yoga) and began to passionately read the sacred texts of India, which would later guide her artistic work. In 2001, she graduated as a teacher of Hatha Yoga at the Soluna Yoga School in Geneva. There she met Mathieu Richter, who directed her towards the Kashmiri practice. She began to follow this tradition as taught by Eric Baret, a disciple of Jean Klein. 

Her approach to the practice is profoundly tactile, visual, and sensual, as is her artistic creation. 
 
Vidya is also a widely acclaimed artist and art teacher (at the HEAD in Geneva). Her artwork is both mystical and earthy. Her landscapes portray the macrocosm as well as its swarming cellular constitution. Each composition contains many layers of consciousness which are constantly shifting and changing. In this sacred, sensual, humorous and sometimes provocative universe, she gives birth to new beliefs free from any form of domination. 

Yoga and drawing practices will be conducted in English and French. All ages and levels of yoga practice are welcome, including beginners. No artistic prerequisites or academic knowledge are required.
