Adrian Luty and Alex Gonnord welcome you to the website of our retreat centre and home - Les Passeroses......

The farm house and attached barns form a Charentaise 'Longere' - or longhouse - which we have sensitively renovated to ensure its character remains. The centre caters for groups up to sixteen. Its secluded position in rural farmland is perfect for hosting a peaceful and undisturbed retreat, yet it is easily accessible. We recommend travelling here by train to reduce your carbon footprint and stress levels.

We are commited to being as eco-friendly as possible and already have many measures in place. These include almost total recylcing, food composting, organic food production, water & electricity reduction and using eco-friendly cleaning products. Next year we plan solar water heating for both washing water and heating the swimming pool.

For our 2008 season we are open from May through to the middle of September. We are again lucky enough to be playing host to many returning and new teachers who offer a wide variety of yoga styles. We would ask any teacher planning a retreat in 2009 or 2010 to get in touch with us as soon as possible to ensure your choice of dates.

Our aim at Les Passeroses is to welcome you to a homely, special atmosphere during your visit, yet allow you your own space and privacy. We seemed to have achieved this judging from the generous - and gratefully received - comments in our guest book.

Om Shanti

Alex and Adrian
