Our Ashram in Ardèche

A Return to the Essentials

A place to grow together

Nestled in the raw and untouched nature of Ardèche, our ashram is a space of true renewal, inviting you to simplicity and depth. Far from the hustle and bustle of modern life, this sanctuary is for those seeking to reconnect with the essence of yoga, with themselves, and with nature.

In the heart of Southern France

Our yoga centre is located in the peaceful village of Saint-Michel-de-Chabrillanoux, in the Ardèche region of southern France — a stunning area known for its wild nature, scenic mountains, and quiet, slow-paced lifestyle.

Set in the hamlet of Bas Praly, our centre offers the perfect environment for deep rest, personal transformation, and immersion in authentic yoga practice — far from urban noise, yet easily accessible by train and car from major cities like Lyon, Valence, or Marseille.

Untamed nature

The ashram is a peaceful haven where we live in harmony with the natural world.

The surrounding nature is an open invitation to contemplation. The pure air, mountains, forests, and rivers create a nurturing atmosphere for awakening the senses and reconnecting with yourself. Here, the sound of flowing water, birdsong, and the wind become companions for your practice.

The terrace opens directly onto nature, allowing you to breathe deeply and soak in the wild beauty of the Ardèche landscape.

A return to the essentials

The buildings, made of ancient stone, are full of history and character. The raw stone practice hall is bright, welcoming, and offers the perfect space for yoga and meditation — allowing full immersion in the present moment.

Every space is designed to support introspection, practice, and a return to what truly matters. Comfort is simple yet sufficient, offering everything you need and nothing more — free from unnecessary distractions.

Connection and sharing

The ashram is a place of human connection, sharing, and transformation. We welcome you with warmth and openness, in an environment rooted in authenticity and heartfelt presence. Here, you’ll meet like-minded people, forming bonds of trust and friendship through the shared language of yoga and mutual respect.

Yoga and kindness

The ashram is more than a physical space — it is a real-life school. Each moment is an opportunity to practise yoga in its purest form. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced yogi, we guide you with kindness and care, encouraging you to explore and deepen your practice at your own rhythm.

Simple & local

We live in tune with nature, with laughter and silence. Meals are prepared using simple, locally sourced ingredients that support healthy, respectful nourishment — for your body and for the planet. There is no room here for the illusion of luxury — only the essential, intention, and mindful practice.

A return to the essentials

Rooms are shared dormitories with 2, 4 or 5 beds.

They are cosy, simple, and comfortable. Bed linen and towels are provided. Please bring your own pillow if you have specific needs.

Our house rules are simple,

but powerful

No alcohol or drug use is allowed, in order to maintain the integrity of the teachings and the group’s energy. A designated smoking area is available for those who need it.

Silence is sacred — from 10:00 pm to 8:30 am, we ask you to respect silence, allowing deep listening and inner presence. A warm smile is always welcome.

Practice (Sadhana) is built through commitment and letting go. This path is one of patience, humility, and surrender.

Don’t forget to bring your joy and laughter.
