Winter Mildness: December 12th and 13th
This winter, treat yourself to a weekend of tranquility and reconnection in the heart of southern Ardèche, led by Pauline Robin. Combining dynamic and gentle yoga, sound baths, live music, mantras, journaling, oracles, ecstatic dance, and a cacao ceremony, this retreat invites you to slow down, listen to your body, and open a space for introspection and transformation.
Over this weekend, you will experience various practices designed to harmonize the main chakras: Yoga sessions (Vinyasa, Hatha, Pranayama, and Nidra) to support your physical, energetic, mental, and emotional bodies; singing circles to free your voice and open your heart; and moments of ecstatic dance to celebrate your creativity. We will be accompanied by the Italian musician Edoardo Tomada and his wonderful instruments (Tibetan singing bowls, Native American flutes, tong drum, drum, guitars, chimes, and other marvels). You will also have the opportunity to enjoy walks in nature and the freshwater pool, for a moment of communion with the environment. This retreat offers a profoundly enriching experience conducive to authentic connections with yourself and others.
Everyone is welcome. No experience is required, just the desire to participate. All equipment is provided.

The speaker
Yoga teacher, movement artist & retreat organizer
Pauline Robin is an eternal artist, educator and researcher in movement.
A graduate of the London Contemporary Dance School, her training in contemporary dance led her to explore a holistic approach to the body and integrate various disciplines into her practice. A yoga teacher since 2012, she has trained in Natha Yoga, Vinyasa Yoga, and Yoga Nidra. Her approach is also informed by the practice of various massages—Ayurvedic and Hawaiian—as well as Lahochi healing, breathwork, Pilates Matwork, and Barre. Over the years, her encounters with numerous artists, teachers, and practitioners have shaped a unique vision of movement, the body, and being.
Pauline also explores the art of breath through the Respire company, where she is the artistic director. Since 2022, she has led approximately thirty week-long workshops in Yoga and Dance for groups of 8 to 18 people. Now based in Rome, she teaches Yoga, sound healing, and fire ceremonies at the five-star Six Senses Rome hotel. Her teaching is fueled by a deep conviction: movement can become a path to reconnection with oneself, freedom, and transformation.
“The relationship to the body, to oneself, to touch, to care are ways of freeing oneself and accepting oneself as one is. For me, ‘moving’ is vital. Dance makes us feel alive, true, and authentic.”
Thank you for your trust
