From the 20th to 28th of October 2020
Intensive Yoga & Karma-Yoga & Massage retreat
At the Yoga Gaïa Healer International School in Decazeville
From the 20th to 28th of October 2020
The Yoga Gaïa Healer International School in Decazeville is a co-creation project inspired by founders Ekarshi Sarva Atma Mithra, Sylvie Rigal and Padma Priya (Nicole) Rupp.
The aim for the creation of this eco-responsible school and its teachings without borders is to share traditional yoga and all other practice known for the well-being of the human Being and the planet. Gaïa Healer means healer of the earth.
The Gaïa Healer Organization created this Yoga school in the old school of Fontvergnes (Decazeville’s pre-school). It’s an old building that hasn’t been much used or cared for, for 40 years. It has kept all its charm of the period it was built (early 20th century). Today, it needs all our care, like our earth on a smaller scale.
In the image of those taking care of the earth (the Gaïa Healers), the Gaïa Healer Organization holds this intensive Yoga and Karma-Yoga retreat to put into concrete action this vision, using the teachings of Yoga tradition : learn, practice and share knowledge together.
This retreat puts the first founding stones of this eco-responsible and co-creative school.
It is organized and co-lead by a yoga instructor and Sarva Atma :
Padma Priya (Nicole Rupp) (more info at : yoga-gaiahealer.com) on location and Ekarshi Sarva Atma (more info at : maithrimandir-homestays.com eandecole.maithrimandir-homestays.com) on Zoom from India.
Languages : french, german and english.
