FULL MOON YOGA AND HIKING
RETREAT
An Inner Rewilding Experience
21-28 July 2018
RETREAT INFORMATION This July we will be hosting a liberating hiking and yoga retreat. The retreat scheduled to coincide with the Buck full moon, and the July lunar eclipse. Some yoga traditions abstain from practising yoga during the full moon, but just like the Goan full moon party founders, we believe that each full moon is something to celebrate. It is an awe-inspiring universe we live in and the full moon is the ultimate symbol of that wonder. The full moon is the perfect time for an adventure, and we are gently calling you to come and adventure with us this July.
From the 21st to the 28th of July we will host a week of nourishing morning and evening yoga taught by Sarah Campbell-Lloyd. Every morning we will greet the day with 75-minutes of Vinyasa Flow to get your breath and blood flowing. Every evening we will wind down with 75-minutes of deep Yin Yoga stretching, to release physical and emotional tension and welcome sleep. Five of the six full days of the retreat will be spent hiking the stunning trails of the Savoie Mont Blanc mountain range. Clean mountain air and breath taking views are food for the soul. Hikes will build up in duration, from 2-3 hour hikes with lots of rest time, to 6-7 hour hikes along challenging terrain. During each hike Sarah will lead guided meditations that will immerse you in wilderness, tuning into the sounds, smells and the soil beneath your feet. By giving yourself a week of freedom in the mountains, by tuning in to nature, and by nurturing your body and soul, your own inner wilderness will be given the space to be. We’ll check in throughout the week, and support each other with practises to honour inner and outer wilderness in our daily lives. On Friday the 27th of July 2018 we’ll celebrate the Buck full moon with a cacao meditation. In addition, after dinner, we’ll all wrap up and head outside into the fields for stargazing, and to witness the lunar eclipse. If you have a dream that needs to come to fruition, this will be a powerful moment to set your intentions. Rest will also be an important part of the week. One full day will be given over to rest at the chalet, and this day will remain flexible to make the most of the best weather days for hiking. Down time at the chalet can be spent sleeping deeply in our gorgeous bedding, exploring our extensive library, curling up by the fire with a great book or journal, forest bathing, drinking in the views or watching sunset over the mountains from the bubbly goodness of our outdoor Jacuzzi. You will each also receive a 60-minute treatment with our holistic therapy expert, and be able to book additional treatments during the week. We’ll be serving a daily menu of rustic, nutritionally balanced vegan meals using fresh local produce, some from our own garden. Meals will be hearty
and full of flavour. You’ll be glowing after a week of our alcohol free, refined
sugar free, palm oil free, detoxifying menu.
I hope you can join us for this
Full Moon experience.
Wild regards,
Alex Volkers, Chalet Rosière.

LOCATION INFORMATION
Chalet Rosière is a boutique mountain lodge and retreat centre located on
the edge of a charmingly rural French hamlet, surrounded by jaw-dropping
views and pristine alpine forests. We enjoy an intense tranquillity at all times
of day and breath-taking sunsets over our uninterrupted mountain views.
We have six luxury bedrooms, a
traditional open plan kitchen and
dining area and lounge with open
fireplace and library, an under-floor
heated yoga studio with an open
fireplace, a treatment room, and an
outdoor hot Jacuzzi with stunning
mountain views.
At Chalet Rosière we run a number of mountain yoga retreats throughout the year, including our renowned Full Moon Yoga experiences. We love the magic that is created when a group of people come together with a commitment to their own personal wellbeing and to exploring new skills. We hope we can share some of that magic with you in the years to come. #thewellbeingchalet
GETTING HERE This retreat has been scheduled to encourage train travel over flying. The train journey to the Alps is a scenic, stress free and low cost way to travel to the region from many European destinations. N.B. Current French train strikes are scheduled to finish in late June. A free minibus transfer service will be provided from Lyon Part Dieu and Bourg Saint Maurice train stations to the chalet. All guests travelling by train will receive 2% cash back on arrival to say thank you for choosing a lower carbon travel option.
The arrival transfer will pick up at 13:15 on the 21st from Lyon Part Dieu. The return transfer will drop off at the same location late afternoon on the 28th. It takes around 2.5 hours to get to the chalet. If you are travelling from the UK the train times below would suit and can be booked via www.sncf.com:
If you are unable to reach us by train, it will also be possible to fly to Lyon Saint Exupéry airport, and then take a taxi over to the train station to link up with the provided minibus transfer. Alternatively you could fly to nearby airports Grenoble/Chambéry/Geneva and book a private transfer/coach/train from there to Bourg Saint Maurice where we would meet you. N.B. If you are planning to fly please run flight times past us before booking. If you would like assistance exploring your travel options please send us an email to contact@chaletrosiere.fr.
YOGA TEACHER BIO Our July Full Moon Yoga and Hiking Retreat will be lead by Sarah Campbell- Lloyd. Sarah Campbell-Lloyd teaches at her thriving East Sussex yoga studio Yard Yoga. She is a 500 hour certified yoga teacher and has been exploring yoga for over a decade. Sarah is particularly inspired by the combination of Alignment and Vinyasa yoga, and their ability to create freedom in the body. Sarah’s teaching style is gentle and nurturing. She possesses the knowledge and intuition necessary to safely challenge you with her teaching, both mentally and physically. Sarah incorporates elements of yogic mythology into her classes, offering helpful metaphors and situating pupils within ancient tradition. Her teaching delivers a lighter, more grounded and present awareness in the body and mind, through the synchronisation of breath and movement.

If a cancellation request is received after 23 June 2018 no refund will be given. We do not give credit or exchanges under any circumstances. CANCELLATION BY CHALET ROSIÈRE In the highly unlikely event that we should have to cancel your booking you will receive a full refund of the entire Booking Fee. Amendments Requested amendments to bookings must be made by email to contact@chaletrosiere.fr by the guest. In the unlikely event that any amendments to the booking should need to be made by Chalet Rosière prior to arrival, the guest will be notified immediately by email. The guest will have the choice to accept any amendment or receive a full refund of the entire Booking Fee. NEWSLETTER By staying at Chalet Rosière you are giving your permission (and the permission of those others who you are booking for) to be contacted email occasionally regarding Chalet Rosière news and events. Please inform us by email if you do not wish to receive these infrequent updates. PHOTOGRAPHY Philip Volkers, Co-Host of Chalet Rosière, is a professional photographer. You can see examples of his work at www.philipvolkers.com. Philip will sometimes be available to take photos of Chalet Rosière retreats. He takes beautiful photographs in an unobtrusive manner, which we use on social media and for promotional purposes. Please inform us by email if you do not wish to be photographed. Unless you email us expressing a desire not to be photographed, by staying at Chalet
Rosière you are giving your permission (and the permission of those others who you are booking for) for photographs of you taken during your stay to be used by Chalet Rosière. STRICT VEGANS The catering and natural toiletries provided by Chalet Rosière will be vegan. However, Chalet Rosière is not a 100% vegan chalet. For example we have antlers on the chalet and some antique leather furniture handed down by family. We also have down bedding and wollen blanets in all our rooms, but can provide synthetic bedding (with advance warning) if you are a strict vegan. If you are a strict vegan, please inform us at the time of booking so that we can discuss the suitability of this experience with you. EXTREME ALLERGIES We are very experienced at catering for a wide range of dietary requirements. Please inform us of any requirements on the Booking Form provided, or at the very latest two weeks before your arrival. However, where a food allergy is so severe that the slightest exposure to the substance in question could cause a life-threatening reaction (for example where a reaction may be triggered other than by actually eating the foodstuff - such as by smell alone, or by minute trace elements on the hands of a staff member or another person), you must advise us in writing of the severe nature of the allergy before booking. We then reserve the right to advise you that, in our considered view, the controls we are able to implement in the chalet environment are insufficient to guarantee your safety, in which case, should you choose to proceed with the booking, you do so entirely at your own risk, and would be asked to confirm this in writing in order to confirm the booking.
If you fail to advise us of a known extreme allergy at the point of booking, you will be in breach of the terms of your booking, and we will have no liability to you at all in the event of any incident. TAKING PART While we do accept bookings from couples and friends on all of our retreats, we would like to underline that this is a collaborative group experience, with a lot of solo-travellers attending. If you are looking for a friends or family holiday where there is no need to bond with the other occupants in the chalet, this is not for you. We will be running a B&B service throughout summer that may suit you better. A retreat is always a journey and it is important that we support each other through this process. Please come with an open heart, ready to share both the space and your time with your fellow retreat participants. Please do feel free to take a rest day at the chalet whenever you that you need one. While there is no provision for guests not hiking during the days, you will be given a packed lunch in the morning, and can spend the day enjoying some solo time sunbathing or relaxing in one of our many quiet, cosy spaces. HEALTH + SAFETY POLICY All guests must have travel insurance with medical cover covering all activities to be enjoyed at or nearby Chalet Rosière, including (but not limited to) yoga and hiking. Guests must provide proof of travel insurance on request. Chalet Rosière accepts no liability for injury or damage to people or property as a result of a stay at Chalet Rosière, other than as obliged to by law. This includes all activities and occurrences associated with the Chalet, with transport to the Chalet, with activities in the local area.
You will be taking part in yoga and hiking at your own risk. If you require
additional guidance to be safe on the mountain it is your responsibility to
seek instruction and additional support, however we will happily arrange this
for you.
WARNING

for the day to avoid injury.
