<p>The quality of the food on our retreats is very important to us. You will enjoy healthy, nutritional meals carefully chosen by our excellent chef to complement the retreat perfectly.

<hr />
<p><strong>ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR</strong></p>
<div dir="auto"><span class="s1">Sarah Malcolm is a mother, yoga, breathwork and meditation teacher and founder of “At Home with Sarah”, an online yoga space that invites you to rest in your honest body and come home to your self. She accidentally fell in love with the practice of yoga as a student and finds her teaching style constantly evolving with the needs of herself and her students, whilst continuing to teach with heart and compassion, met with warmth and support. She empowers her students to tune into their own emotional vibrancy &amp; to move in ways that </span><span class="s2">feel</span><span class="s1"> good for their bodies, rather than look a certain way. Becoming a mother softened and opened her up in more ways than she was prepared for which is reflected in her teaching, acknowledging how much more rest we all really need. </span></div>

<hr />
<p><strong>THE HIKES</strong></p>
<p>Experience guided walks through the stunning French Alps.</p>
<p>Our gentle half day hikes last 2 – 3 hours with plenty of rest time to take in the incredible views. No prior fitness level is required. Our qualified and experienced walking guide carefully chooses trails to suit the abilities of our clients. She will make sure no-one is left behind, while imparting knowledge on the local flora and fauna.</p>
<p>On the full day hike we set off to explore some of Chamonix’s best hiking trails. Around midday we make ourselves comfortable in an idyllic setting for some high mountain yoga or meditation followed by a healthy packed lunch with impressive views like those at <a href="https://www.chamonix.com/lac-blanc,46-195135,en.html">Lac Blanc</a>. When rested, we continue our inspirational journey through the spectacular Mont Blanc mountain range before returning to the chalet to enjoy a fresh healthy smoothie and relax in the hot tub.</p>
<p><em>All hikes are optional.</em></p>
<hr />
<p><strong>WHAT TO BRING</strong></p>
<p>Chamonix Mont Blanc is the most beautiful Alpine region in Europe and as with all mountain regions, the weather is unpredictable. It can be extremely hot on sunny days and occasionally very cold even in summer, so it’s a good idea to check the weather report right before you travel.</p>
<p>We recommend bringing hiking boots or sensible outdoor footwear, sunglasses, sun cream, a sun hat, a bathing suit (for the hot tub / spa), a backpack, a waterproof coat and warm layers. You may also want to bring bed socks or slippers to wear around the chalet. Don’t worry if you come unprepared or forget anything, there are plenty of shops in town.</p>
<p>We provide all yoga equipment (mats, blocks, bricks, straps, bolsters, eye pillows and blankets).</p>
<p>We also provide towels and bathrobes at the chalet so no need to bring your own.</p>
<hr />
<p><strong>TESTIMONIALS</strong></p>
<p><em>‘The whole experience was beautiful. The setting, the chalet, the food, the yoga, the massage, the food, the walks, the spa day, the food, and the total vibe – calm but energising, excellently organised but relaxed – were all perfect. The food was delicious, healthy, satisfying. El and Anna were totally brilliant. I loved the food. The yoga was inspirational, every day. But the aspect that perhaps I wasn’t expecting, and which surprised me, was the power, joy, and inspiration I gained from my fellow guests. Thank you all.</em><br />
<em>And did I mention the food..?’</em> – Simon Blake</p>
<p><em>‘The other guests were wonderful; inspiring and real pleasure to spend time with. Everyone involved in running the retreat was very welcoming, friendly and really fun to have around. Eleanor and Anna made us all feel really at home and looked after us brilliantly. Wonderful, inspiring, responsive yoga teacher. I had the best massage I have in years. The food was excellent, absolutely delicious. The views were magnificent. Perfect balance of structure and freedom.’</em> – Fiona Paveley</p>
<p><em>‘Had the most relaxing week. Such a great experience. Everything was so smooth, well organised. Awesome yoga and hikes of course. The venus is fabulous, with indoor spa, pool &amp; jacuzzi, in-house cinema …the food was incredible. On top of all that, it was so lovely to meet new people and it truly ended up being a beautiful, fulfilling and humbling human experience. Thanks to all of you.’</em> – Morgane Boucherit</p>

<p><strong>ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR</strong></p>

<p>Jess Dezaux has been teaching Yoga and Meditation internationally for over ten years. A native Australian, she has facilitated teacher trainings, workshops and retreats across Asia, Europe and America. Furthering her certifications in Vinyasa Prana flow, yin yoga and mindfulness meditation, she has completed diplomas in health studies, energetic anatomy, yogic philosophy, Ayurveda and is a certified holistic wellness coach.</p>
<p>Jess has taken the essence of these complimentary teachings and developed a style of yoga and meditation designed to empower the student to experience the world with inspiration and awareness.

<p>“My intention is always to deeply support my students, to meet them where they are and guide them back home to themselves.

<p><strong>THE HIKES</strong></p>
<p>Experience guided walks through the stunning French Alps.</p>
<p>Our gentle half day hikes last 2 – 3 hours with plenty of rest time to take in the incredible views. No prior fitness level is required. Our qualified and experienced walking guide carefully chooses trails to suit the abilities of our clients. She will make sure no-one is left behind, while imparting knowledge on the local flora and fauna.</p>
<p>On the full day hike we set off to explore some of Chamonix’s best hiking trails. Around midday we make ourselves comfortable in an idyllic setting for some high mountain yoga or meditation followed by a healthy packed lunch with impressive views like those at <a href="https://www.chamonix.com/lac-blanc,46-195135,en.html">Lac Blanc</a>. When rested, we continue our inspirational journey through the spectacular Mont Blanc mountain range before returning to the chalet to enjoy a fresh healthy smoothie and relax in the hot tub.</p>
<p><em>All hikes are optional.</em></p>
<hr />
<p><strong>WHAT TO BRING</strong></p>
<p>Chamonix Mont Blanc is the most beautiful Alpine region in Europe and as with all mountain regions, the weather is unpredictable. It can be extremely hot on sunny days and occasionally very cold even in summer, so it’s a good idea to check the weather report right before you travel.</p>
<p>We recommend bringing hiking boots or sensible outdoor footwear, sunglasses, sun cream, a sun hat, a bathing suit (for the hot tub / spa), a backpack, a waterproof coat and warm layers. You may also want to bring bed socks or slippers to wear around the chalet. Don’t worry if you come unprepared or forget anything, there are plenty of shops in town.</p>
<p>We provide all yoga equipment (mats, blocks, bricks, straps, bolsters, eye pillows and blankets).</p>
<p>We also provide towels and bathrobes at the chalet so no need to bring your own.</p>

<p><strong>TESTIMONIALS</strong></p>
<p><em>‘The whole experience was beautiful. The setting, the chalet, the food, the yoga, the massage, the food, the walks, the spa day, the food, and the total vibe – calm but energising, excellently organised but relaxed – were all perfect. The food was delicious, healthy, satisfying. El and Anna were totally brilliant. I loved the food. The yoga was inspirational, every day. But the aspect that perhaps I wasn’t expecting, and which surprised me, was the power, joy, and inspiration I gained from my fellow guests. Thank you all.</em><br />
<em>And did I mention the food..?’</em> – Simon Blake</p>
<p><em>‘The other guests were wonderful; inspiring and real pleasure to spend time with. Everyone involved in running the retreat was very welcoming, friendly and really fun to have around. Eleanor and Anna made us all feel really at home and looked after us brilliantly. Wonderful, inspiring, responsive yoga teacher. I had the best massage I have in years. The food was excellent, absolutely delicious. The views were magnificent. Perfect balance of structure and freedom.’</em> – Fiona Paveley</p>
<p><em>‘Had the most relaxing week. Such a great experience. Everything was so smooth, well organised. Awesome yoga and hikes of course. The venus is fabulous, with indoor spa, pool &amp; jacuzzi, in-house cinema …the food was incredible. On top of all that, it was so lovely to meet new people and it truly ended up being a beautiful, fulfilling and humbling human experience. Thanks to all of you.’</em> – Morgane Boucherit</p>

<p><strong>ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR</strong></p>
<div>
<p>Mariza Smith has been teaching yoga since an extended trip to India in 2008, and teaching others how to teach in the Chamonix valley since 2014. Her inspiration comes from all over; ashtanga, jivamukti, observation of the world around us and restorative yoga with her wonderful teacher Judith Hanson Lasater. Classes are often set to music and intended to get the blood pumping and body moving, before a long wind down and eventual deep rest in savasana.</p>
<p>Mariza teaches instinctively, adapting the vinyasa practice to the bodies in the room. Yoga with Mariza is inclusive, playful and fun, it aims to be the thing that brightens and lightens each day.</p>
<p>Drawing inspiration from the majestic backdrop of the Chamonix mountains, evening yoga sessions will seek to ground, connect and earth, completing whichever cycle has begun that day and paving the way for restful digestion and sleep.</p>
<p>Morning practices will be a little more energetic, in sync with the rising sun &#8211; waking the body up and preparing to open to whatever adventures the day promises to deliver.</p>
<p>Mariza has a wealth of experience adapting the practice to all types of illnesses, injuries, body types and levels.</p>

<p><strong>ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR</strong></p>
<div class="elementToProof">Tania Moutinho has been teaching Yoga for over 15 years. She first began practising while studying Architecture more than two decades ago… and breath by breath, it reshaped her life!</div>
<div></div>
<div class="elementToProof">Certified in Kriya Yoga, Happy Yoga, Yoga Dance, Pilates Mat, and found her foundations in Hatha Yoga. In more recent years, has also taught Vinyasa and embraced the slower rhythms of Yin and Restorative Yoga.</div>
<div class="elementToProof">Before moving to the UK, Tania founded <i>Yoga4U Studio</i> in Porto, Portugal, where she built a community that felt like family. Later, she co-created and led a Yoga Alliance certified 200h Teacher Training for 5 years, in the UK. Here, she developed ways to help students embody yoga philosophy on the mat, explore a deeper bond with themselves, and find the poetry in their bodies.</div>
<div></div>
<div class="elementToProof">She aims to make her classes feel like home, and doesn’t ask anyone to impress on the mat, only to meet themselves with honesty, kindness and both strength &amp; vulnerability.</div>
<div class="elementToProof">“Yoga has a touch of magic! … somehow, we walk this journey of self-discovery almost without realising, and our lives begin to change without us even noticing.’</div>

<hr />
<p><strong>THE HIKES</strong></p>
<p>Experience guided walks through the stunning French Alps.</p>
<p>Our half day hikes last 2 – 3 hours with rest time to take in the incredible views. No prior fitness level is required. Our qualified and experienced walking guide carefully chooses trails to suit the abilities of our clients. She will make sure no-one is left behind, while imparting knowledge on the local flora and fauna.</p>
<p>On the full day hike we set off to explore some of Chamonix’s best hiking trails. Around midday we make ourselves comfortable in an idyllic setting for some high mountain yoga or meditation followed by a healthy packed lunch with impressive views like those at <a href="https://www.chamonix.com/lac-blanc,46-195135,en.html">Lac Blanc</a>. When rested, we continue our inspirational journey through the spectacular Mont Blanc mountain range before returning to the chalet to enjoy a fresh healthy smoothie and relax in the hot tub.</p>
<p><em>All hikes are optional.</em></p>
<hr />
<p><strong>WHAT TO BRING</strong></p>
<p>Chamonix Mont Blanc is the most beautiful Alpine region in Europe and as with all mountain regions, the weather is unpredictable. It can be extremely hot on sunny days and occasionally very cold even in summer, so it’s a good idea to check the weather report right before you travel.</p>
<p>We recommend bringing hiking boots or sensible outdoor footwear, sunglasses, sun cream, a sun hat, a bathing suit (for the hot tub / spa), a backpack, a waterproof coat and warm layers. Don’t panic if you come unprepared or forget anything, there are plenty of shops in town.</p>
<p>We provide all yoga equipment (mats, blocks, bricks, straps, bolsters, eye pillows and blankets).</p>
<p>We also provide towels and bathrobes at the chalet so no need to bring your own.</p>
<hr />
<p><strong>TESTIMONIALS</strong></p>
<p><em>‘The whole experience was beautiful. The setting, the chalet, the food, the yoga, the massage, the food, the walks, the spa day, the food, and the total vibe – calm but energising, excellently organised but relaxed – were all perfect. The food was delicious, healthy, satisfying. El and Anna were totally brilliant. I loved the food. The yoga was inspirational, every day. But the aspect that perhaps I wasn’t expecting, and which surprised me, was the power, joy, and inspiration I gained from my fellow guests. Thank you all.</em><br />
<em>And did I mention the food..?’</em> – Simon Blake</p>
<p><em>‘The other guests were wonderful; inspiring and real pleasure to spend time with. Everyone involved in running the retreat was very welcoming, friendly and really fun to have around. Eleanor and Anna made us all feel really at home and looked after us brilliantly. Wonderful, inspiring, responsive yoga teacher. I had the best massage I have in years. The food was excellent, absolutely delicious. The views were magnificent. Perfect balance of structure and freedom.’</em> – Fiona Paveley</p>
<p><em>‘Had the most relaxing week. Such a great experience. Everything was so smooth, well organised. Awesome yoga and hikes of course. The venus is fabulous, with indoor spa, pool &amp; jacuzzi, in-house cinema …the food was incredible. On top of all that, it was so lovely to meet new people and it truly ended up being a beautiful, fulfilling and humbling human experience. Thanks to all of you.’</em> – Morgane Boucherit</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>C<span class="wixui-rich-text__text"><span class="color_42 wixui-rich-text__text">onnect with your mind, body and spirit with Sian Bradbury through the following practices: </span></span></p>
<p><b>Morning Practice</b></p>
<p>Start your day feeling grounded, energised, and clear with your Morning Energising Yoga class designed to awaken your body and focus your mind.</p>
<p>We begin gently, arriving on the mat with intentional breath work to clear the mind and ignite vitality. Through guided pranayama, we will stimulate circulation, awaken our nervous system, and create space for clarity and calm.</p>
<p>From there, we move into a fluid vinyasa flow style practice that links breath with movement. Expect a balanced sequence that gradually builds warmth: sun salutations, standing postures, light twists, and heart-opening shapes to release stiffness and invite strength. Options and variations are offered throughout, making the practice accessible whether you’re newer to yoga or looking to deepen your experience.</p>
<p>Everyday will be a brand new sequence aimed to leave you feeling refreshed, empowered, and ready to meet your day with steady energy and an open heart.</p>
<p><b>Evening Practice</b></p>

					<description><![CDATA[Join Nola Garven for an uplifting week of strengthening and inspiring yoga, spectacular guided hikes through the Chamonix valley, delicious food and plenty of time to unwind at our beautiful Alpine chalet]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>During this retreat you will explore the incredible hiking trails of Chamonix whilst developing your strength, flexibility, well-being and mindfulness.</p>
<p data-start="0" data-end="132">In the morning, Nola will guide an invigorating movement practice designed to energise the body and build upon foundational poses. She will help focus the mind for the day ahead through yogic breathing techniques, meditation practices, and daily journaling prompts. Each session will be layered to suit every level and every body, offering space to explore, add options, and take exactly what’s needed &#8211; while leaving behind what’s not. This is your practice, and Nola encourages everyone to make it their own.</p>
<p data-start="520" data-end="904" data-is-last-node="" data-is-only-node="">In the evening, before a nourishing meal together, she will welcome participants to a warm restorative and yin yoga practice. During this time, you’ll find deep rest in the tissues while settling into longer, juicy holds, using supportive props to release mental weight and ease overwhelm. It’s an opportunity to sink deeper and experience the quiet magic of yin and restorative yoga.</p>

<p><strong>ACCOMMODATION</strong></p>
<p class="font_8"><span class="color_15">Our large and beautiful Alpine chalet is perfectly located in the Chamonix valley for easy access to areas of interest, beautiful hiking trails and boasts stunning views of Mont Blanc. </span><span class="color_15">The chalet is just as intimate and cosy as it is spectacular and luxurious, thanks to its clever design with several sumptuous social areas.</span></p>
<p class="font_8"><span class="color_15">The chalet is a former mill and </span><span class="color_15">has been built and decorated by the most sought after artisans in the valley, so every aspect has been finished to perfection and careful attention. The lovely yoga space is in the heart of the chalet with floor to ceiling windows that let in plenty of light under the beautiful wooden roof beams. The chalet also has its own spa area with a sauna and treatment room for the on-site massages.</span></p>
<p class="font_8"><span class="color_15">It is centrally located in the Chamonix valley in the quaint village of Les Tines, a short distance from Chamonix town, with breath-taking panoramic views of the French Alps from the hot tub, sun terraces and garden.</span></p>

<p><strong>HEALTHY EATING</strong></p>
<p>The quality of the food on our retreats is very important to us. You will enjoy healthy, nutritional meals carefully chosen by our excellent chef to complement the retreat perfectly. The gourmet food on our retreats is absolutely delicious and mostly vegan or vegetarian but you can opt for fish or meat when booking your retreat. We use organic and local produce where possible.</p>
<hr />
<p><strong>ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR</strong></p>
<p>Since Nola Garven was very young, her mother would tell her to get on the floor and move; a big stretch and a deep breath were her mother’s solution for every gripe she had.</p>
<p>She swayed away from that advice for years before returning to yoga in 2017, beginning her training by studying Bikram. She has since transitioned to focusing on cultivating a healthy mind-body connection within her offerings on the mat.</p>
<p>In Nola’s classes, and in her company, you’ll find laid-back movement for every single body. Safe and inclusive, her space is warm and welcoming. A place where no one cares how flexible you are or whether you can touch your toes.</p>
<p>With a particular interest and additional training in anatomy and physiology, Nola recognises that every asana feels different to each individual and aims to help everyone find the best nourishment from their practice.</p>
<p>She’s often told that she has a unique way of making a strong vinyasa class feel like a dreamy yin.</p>

<hr />
<p><strong>THE HIKES</strong></p>
<p>Experience guided walks through the stunning French Alps.</p>
<p>Our half day hikes last 2 – 3 hours with rest time to take in the incredible views. No prior fitness level is required. Our qualified and experienced walking guide carefully chooses trails to suit the abilities of our clients. She will make sure no-one is left behind, while imparting knowledge on the local flora and fauna.</p>
<p>On the full day hike we set off to explore some of Chamonix’s best hiking trails. Around midday we make ourselves comfortable in an idyllic setting for some high mountain yoga or meditation followed by a healthy packed lunch with impressive views like those at <a href="https://www.chamonix.com/lac-blanc,46-195135,en.html">Lac Blanc</a>. When rested, we continue our inspirational journey through the spectacular Mont Blanc mountain range before returning to the chalet to enjoy a fresh healthy smoothie and relax in the hot tub.</p>
<p><em>All hikes are optional.</em></p>
<hr />
<p><strong>WHAT TO BRING</strong></p>
<p>Chamonix Mont Blanc is the most beautiful Alpine region in Europe and as with all mountain regions, the weather is unpredictable. It can be extremely hot on sunny days and occasionally very cold even in summer, so it’s a good idea to check the weather report right before you travel.</p>
<p>We recommend bringing hiking boots or sensible outdoor footwear, sunglasses, sun cream, a sun hat, a bathing suit (for the hot tub / spa), a backpack, a waterproof coat and warm layers. Don’t panic if you come unprepared or forget anything, there are plenty of shops in town.</p>
<p>We provide all yoga equipment (mats, blocks, bricks, straps, bolsters, eye pillows and blankets).</p>
<p>We also provide towels and bathrobes at the chalet so no need to bring your own.</p>
<hr />
<p><strong>TESTIMONIALS</strong></p>
<p><em>‘The whole experience was beautiful. The setting, the chalet, the food, the yoga, the massage, the food, the walks, the spa day, the food, and the total vibe – calm but energising, excellently organised but relaxed – were all perfect. The food was delicious, healthy, satisfying. El and Anna were totally brilliant. I loved the food. The yoga was inspirational, every day. But the aspect that perhaps I wasn’t expecting, and which surprised me, was the power, joy, and inspiration I gained from my fellow guests. Thank you all.</em><br />
<em>And did I mention the food..?’</em> – Simon Blake</p>
<p><em>‘The other guests were wonderful; inspiring and real pleasure to spend time with. Everyone involved in running the retreat was very welcoming, friendly and really fun to have around. Eleanor and Anna made us all feel really at home and looked after us brilliantly. Wonderful, inspiring, responsive yoga teacher. I had the best massage I have in years. The food was excellent, absolutely delicious. The views were magnificent. Perfect balance of structure and freedom.’</em> – Fiona Paveley</p>
<p><em>‘Had the most relaxing week. Such a great experience. Everything was so smooth, well organised. Awesome yoga and hikes of course. The venus is fabulous, with indoor spa, pool &amp; jacuzzi, in-house cinema …the food was incredible. On top of all that, it was so lovely to meet new people and it truly ended up being a beautiful, fulfilling and humbling human experience. Thanks to all of you.’</em> – Morgane Boucherit</p>
