Teachers

Agnès Blain

Agnès discovered yoga at the age of 16 and has received teachings from many different styles during her travels, including Sivananda, Hariharalaya, Vipassana meditation, and DeGasquet. She aims to contribute to the transmission of yoga that combines traditional principles with modern, inclusive, feminist, decolonial, and ecological approaches, adapting to each individual. Agnès has been leading workshops since 2015 and recently completed a module on “Respecting the Roots of Yoga: Teaching without Cultural Appropriation.”

Location

Brocéliande is a legendary site that was once spread across a vast forested area in the interior of Brittany and still exists today in the Paimpont forest – the largest forest in Brittany not only by its size but also by its influence. Brocéliande is the setting for many of the Arthurian legends, including those related to Merlin the Enchanter, the fairies Viviane and Morgane, and some of the Knights of the Round Table.

During your stay, you will be accommodated at La Hulotte, a warm and ecological large gite located in a hamlet near Concoret, in the heart of the Brocéliande region. The large garden promises a week of tranquility and relaxation.

La retraite se déroule chez Agnès, où l'on a décidé de vivre selon le modèle ashram. Spontanément, on participe à la communauté. La vie en collectivité à neuf se déroule en douceur grâce à Agnès, qui est à l'écoute de nos suggestions. Le déroulement de la journée a été adapté au fil du séjour pour répondre à nos envies et à notre ressenti de façon naturelle. Cette souplesse est appréciable et positive, on se sent écouté. La maison écologique et le jardin sont complètement adaptés à la vie en ashram. On peut facilement circuler, discuter ensemble, s'isoler pour lire, dormir, marcher à notre guise pendant notre temps libre. Le silence pendant l'heure du brunch nous permet de nous recentrer sur nous-mêmes avant de passer à notre temps libre. Les séances de mantras, méditation, philosophie du yoga et asanas sont équilibrées tout au long de la journée, dans une ambiance bienveillante. Agnès est hyper organisée, sait déléguer et cuisine divinement bien la cuisine végétalienne (nous sommes toutes reparties avec des recettes). Tout se passe naturellement sans contraintes, la flûte jouée par Agnès nous rappelle les horaires et si on veut renoncer à une séance, on peut le faire. C'est un enchantement d'écouter Agnès chanter, elle nous emmène très loin avec sa voix douce et mélodieuse... Le bonheur de chanter ensemble ! Les discussions sur l'ayurveda sont également un plus !

Se donner du temps pour soi est une nécessité absolue si l'on veut bénéficier du partage d'énergie, de la bienveillance de chacun et de l'environnement magique et édifiant que l'on peut trouver dans un lieu propice à l'évasion.
