DATES:

Tuesday September 2 to Saturday 6, 2025 (5 days - 4 nights)

LANGUAGE:

English with French explanation.

SUMMARY

Easy yoga practice. Nature immersion. Cultural tour. All optional. Participate at your own pace, alone, with a buddy or your sweetheart for great intimate moments shared in wellness or why not as a group of friends or family for a healthy stay on a tropical paradise island.

Enjoy a full-on ecotourist retreat where your day starts with a comfortable yoga practice (or time alone) followed by long walks in awesome nature spots in our endemic tropical forest on Mauritius island. Come back to relax on the white sandy beach and have a dip in the safe turquoise lagoon protected by coral reefs and nurtured by the Indian Ocean, finishing the day with a breathtaking sunset. On the third day, we’ll dab in the Mauritian cultural roots with a visit to our capital city of Port Louis, led by our facilitators.

We have tried to bring the most out of the retreat in a gist of 5 days where you can take care of yourself, enjoy the sea, forest, rivers and waterfalls as well as have a tour in the capital city of Mauritius to get a short but sweet experience of the Mauritian culture. It is a good start for your stay in Mauritius where you can experience much more.

Take a look at our Dharani (July 27-31) and Green Tara retreats (August 1-3, 2025) at Flic en Flac.

FOOD

The price of the retreat includes the cost of staying full board. Meals provided: breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Free choice a la carte breakfast, lunch and diner. In ayurveda, one of the common ways of toxin production in the body is through bad digestion. Digestion depends not only on the type of food but predominantly, on our emotional-mental state. If we are happy and like what we eat, digestion happens efficiently and health is maintained. The location is exceptionally beautiful and many participants like to celebrate their trip. We do not have any intention of dousing your happiness. It will be the fuel for your enthusiastic effort in the retreat. No restrictions will be applied on the type of food allowed during the retreat. Instead, we will practise mindful eating where you will become more conscious of the effects of the food on your being. Consciousness will be our leitmotif all throughout so that it intensifies during your stay and remains thereafter.
