Organisation of treatments

In a retreat, you do not have to take care of your schedule: your mind is free to relax and rest.

 

The treatment is given on your resting bed or you are brought to a special room for grand massages with warm oils. The sauna is situated in a Nordic chalet and the “shirodhara” space evokes “shanti”, the absolute peace and serenity.

Additionally, you can benefit from “Panchakarma” (purifications), attend yoga classes, and learn recipes of healthy, tasty and nourishing recipes using the magic of spices.

 

You can offer yourself some more pleasure and relaxation by receiving a facial treatment, a feet or hands treatment or a Kerala massage. In the evenings, you can listen to some special lectures or debates, watch a video film in the “Yehudi Menuhin” hall, to remind this illustrious guest was once in Tapovan enjoying the same retreat as you are.

And as the master of the premises is a passionate and creative man of action and vision, he did not merely create a place blending the East and the West in an ideal quest of health and beauty; he also marked the place with his philosophy.

 

The place is a forum of ideas and conviviality; the gestures of therapists lavished care with softness, respect and love. The human exchange is authentic and the atmosphere is of a big family. These are all the reasons why we invite you to share our retreats, in a spirit of freedom and discovery.
