For over 19 years, we have organised encounters, courses and Yogic retreats with Sri O.P. TIWARI, in France or in India. Our summer encounters present the study of Yoga an its realm of knowledge via various viewpoints. These last years, we have particularly insisted on understanding classical traditional Indian Yoga at great depths, so intrinsically different from "French" Yoga.

For several years our encounters have taken place at the Saint-Antoine old abbey near the town of Valence. We are hosted with great competence and warmth by the Arche community founded by Lanza del Vasto following his meeting with Gandhi and Vinobha in 1948. The spirit of the community encourageing non-violence and is particularly in harmony with our own philosophy. The wonderful medieval village of Saint-Antoine-l’Abbaye has for thousands of years been a centre of pilgrimage and healing and bears a very distinctive energy, enhancing our sense of well-being and our practices. The vegetarian food proceeds directly from the large organic vegetable and flowered garden. Our week course unfolds in a very serene and joyful atmosphere.

Next summer course with Nathalie ANTHONY : July 9 – 15 2012
