Yoga & Shiatsu retreat in Savoie | Breath and wide open spaces

What are the aims of this yoga retreat in Savoie?

Nestled in the Northern Alps, on the border between Savoie and Haute-Savoie, this Yoga and Do In retreat invites you to head for the hills. Between Beaufortin and the Aravis range, the setting is idyllic: fresh air, majestic panoramas, far from the heat and bustle of the lowlands.

Eight days at altitude to open yourself up to the future. Gaining altitude to see further, to see the bigger picture, but also to see things more humbly. An immersive retreat, specially designed for a profound letting go.

The cornerstones of this journey:
letting go, nature, relaxation.

From 1 to 8 August 2026, treat yourself to a refreshing and gentle break. 8 days for those who wish to experience nature differently: not as a backdrop, but as a foundation for your well-being. Letting go is achieved through yoga sessions, daily Do In (self-massage), free time to reflect, and mountain walks.

YOUR ACCOMMODATION IN THE HEART OF THE ALPS | A SPACIOUS, COMFORTABLE CHALET SURROUNDED BY NATURE

This haven of peace is perched at an altitude of 1,450 metres in the commune of Notre-Dame-de-Bellecombe. The chalet, rated 3 stars by Gîtes de France, offers 240 m² of living space across three floors, complemented by large south-facing terraces and balconies.

The chalet enjoys an exceptional location. Just 30 minutes from Megève, and 1½ hours from Geneva, Annecy or Chambéry, it combines accessibility with total seclusion.

Cosy communal areas

A large 70 m² living area combines an open-plan kitchen, dining room, lounge with a fireplace, a children’s corner and a utility room. It is the ideal convivial space for shared meals, relaxation or informal get-togethers.

Areas dedicated to well-being and relaxation

• A 40m² yoga terrace for practising with a view of the mountains
• Balconies on every floor offer privacy and allow you to connect with nature.
• An outdoor swimming pool, ideal for cooling off and relaxing.
• A 6-person jacuzzi overlooking the peaks of the Alps

Your comfort and your ability to recharge your batteries in complete tranquillity are at the heart of our approach.

INTERMITTENT FASTING:
A GENTLE INTRODUCTION

Over these 8 days, we offer you an introduction to intermittent fasting in ideal conditions: a peaceful setting, caring support and healthy food.

What is intermittent fasting?

It is not about deprivation, but a simple dietary rebalancing: you alternate between a period of eating (lunch and dinner) and a period of rest for your digestive system (around 14 to 16 hours). In practical terms, you skip breakfast and have a hearty brunch at 10.30 am, followed by a balanced dinner at 6.30 pm.

Why practise this on a retreat?

• Improved digestion: less fatigue after meals, more energy for activities.
• Mental clarity: many participants report improved concentration and a feeling of lightness.
• Metabolism support: intermittent fasting can help regulate blood sugar levels and promote natural detoxification.
• Self-awareness: you learn to listen to your body’s signals, without frustration.

How does the introductory session work?

• Brunch at 10.30 am: a full, hearty meal to last the whole day, sweet, savoury, hot and cold
• Dinner at 6.30 pm: a nourishing but not overly heavy meal, to optimise sleep quality

No obligations: you are free to follow the schedule or have breakfast if you wish. Our approach is flexible and non-dogmatic.
