The Art of Mindful Living in Practice

The retreat in Provence offers a program that inspires the practice of mindful living. In classes, participants learn the basics of mindfulness, how to apply mindfulness in everyday life, and techniques to maintain calm even in the most stressful situations. Masters lead sessions on breathing exercises, yoga, and meditation that promote not only physical but also emotional well-being.

During yoga classes, participants learn to listen to their bodies, sensing every movement and every muscle group. This is not just a physical activity, but a deep awareness of one's capabilities and limitations. In yoga, the pursuit of perfection is replaced by self-acceptance and respect for one's physical state. The importance of these practices lies in their simplicity: everyone can find something for themselves.

Meditation, in turn, helps clear the mind of unnecessary thoughts, allowing one to focus on the present. Participants learn not only to sit in silence but also to better understand their emotions, recognize them, and then let them go. These skills can be used in everyday life, removing stress and anxiety from our daily lives. By reflecting on our feelings, we learn to be more mindful and attentive to others.
