AlpineYogi view from La FermeLa Ferme

The venue for AlpineYogi 2010 is in the most beautiful farmhouse we could find.  An awe inspiring trip across the French Alps, lead us to the popular resort of La Rosiere, where we stumbled across ‘La Ferme’.  It’s perfect in many ways, but the most important being that it’s a family home and has been lovingly restored to its former glory over the last 20 years.  Dating back to 1877, it is a traditional farm house that has been renovated to it’s now luxurious state.  Made up of two separate but adjacent houses, it offers plenty of space to dine, sleep, relax, practice yoga and even play the piano!  With a selection of room sizes & styles, we are able to offer a large range of accommodation to suit all tastes and budgets.  It is located at the end of a winding road, past a couple of working farms, well off the beaten track.  There are uninterrupted views of the mountains and no neighbours to the front or to the right of La Ferme, making it the ideal location for a mountain retreat.  You will have to see it, to believe just how stunning it is, but we can assure you that your stay with us here, will be an adventure to remember.

The Mountains in the summertime

The area around La Rosiere enjoys uninterrupted sunshine all day long in the summer. As the village faces south, it is heavenly hot by day with cooler, starry skies by night. The mountains are stunning in the summer; a vision of vibrant green slopes, lush alpine woods and wild flowers galore. The Alps are the perfect place to invigorate the body & soul, with so many sports to choose from. With miles of mountains to explore by foot or by bike – you will not get bored. For serious climbers there are peaks a plenty and if you want to get up to the snow line, the Glacier at Tignes is only a short drive away. And for the more extreme tastes, if want to try paragliding or white-water rafting, this is also an option. There is even horse riding. The problem is going to be not how you are going to fill your time, but how you are going to fit it all in! And for those who want to be more tranquil, it goes without saying that the mountains are the ideal place to retreat and immerse yourself in your yoga practice. An AlpineYogi Adventure with us is guaranteed to leave your body recharged and your soul lifted.

A Typical Day at La Ferme

Begin your day the yogi way: Morning class in the mountains – will be an hour class – to wake up that cold stiff body and get you ready for the slopes. The morning sessions are a more dynamic practice with an emphasis on standing postures as we open up, warm and strengthen the body in preparation for a day of adventure! Special focus is on the legs, to build stamina for those hill walks.

And wind down the yogi way: The evening class is gentle yoga to stretch out and relax abused muscles and joints. The session will vary and we’ll include pranayama & meditation to really let go and enter a state of deep relaxation. After yoga perhaps book a massage to really pamper yourself or those who wish, can enjoy a good glass of wine before dinner under the stars.
