Description

Santosha Yoga is an eco-friendly family run Yoga Retreat Centre, situated in the small village of Conilhac de La Montagne, in the high Aude Valley. We can accommodate 14 people comfortably (15 max) with possible private accommodation for the teachers. As yoga should be available to everyone, we have affordable, but very beautiful dorm type rooms. As well as hosting yoga groups, we have enjoyed walking groups and other groups providing personal growth and healing since opening our centre in 2012.

We have a 60 sqm yoga studio with windows that look south over the vineyards towards the distant peaks of the Pyrenees, and a 28 sqm roof terrace that is perfect for sunrises, meditation, or morning yoga practice. The proud locals call their village the ¨Balcony of the Pyrenees¨, the views from the roof terrace are panoramic and quite stunning.

There are numerous terraces for dining outside, a peaceful walled organic vegetable garden where guests can enjoy the serenity of nature, and a very cosy covered outside area for gatherings. The communal salon and dining room, situated in the lower level of the house, are also all at your disposal for group activities.

There are many short and longer walks from the house, through vineyards, up over hills and to adjacent villages. With the nearby walks, and the multiple areas within the venue for our guests to utilise, there is always somewhere beautiful to be with others or to be alone if you wish. The local market every Sunday morning is also a fun experience not to be missed. Free teacher place with every 6 paying guests.
