Yoga on a Shoestring is delighted to offer our first Family Yoga Holiday at Tapovan, a meditation centre in the beautiful Dordogne area, in South West France. Adults without children are also very welcome, but a love for children is advisable.
Set on a river, which is perfect for swimming and canoeing, the centre is surrounded by nature which gives it the feeling of being totally secluded, yet it is only a gentle stroll away from the local village, Cubjac. The stunning town of Perigueux is a 20 minute, picturesque drive away from Tapovan, providing a feast of entertainment, from roman ruins and churches to shops, restaurants and an array of festivals, concerts, exhibitions and museums. It is the perfect holiday for satisfying both children and adults alike.
There will be morning yoga and meditation classes for adults whilst the children are kept busy with yoga and other fun activities. Timings for breakfast and morning workshops will be worked out by the group and will be dependent on the varying ages and needs of the children. There is lots of outdoor space for outdoor activities.
Evening sessions will vary from gentle restorative yoga and meditation classes to singing and dancing.
There will be one yoga free day during the week.
