"Happiness is determined more by the state of mind that external events."
- Dalai Lama -
Sandrine lives and teaches in Peru.
" I have practiced yoga since 2006 with an experience in Vinyasa Flow, Hatha and Ashtanga Yoga. I teach mainly Vinyasa Flow Yoga.
I am a certified Yoga Teacher, did my teacher training course with Yoga Inbound in Cusco, and am also a certified Prenatal Vinyasa Teacher, did my course with Jennifer Wolfe (USA). I hold a certificate in Chakra Clearing and Anatomy and physiology with The School of Natural Health Sciences (UK), and am registered with Yoga Alliance.
I started my yoga journey in England, and in France where I am from. I have travelled a lot and lived in a coupel of countries, then I decided to visit Peru and fell in love with the country. I am now settling down in Arequipa with my own yoga studio which I opened in 2009.
I am very happy that yoga came into my life and that I can share it with people who want to change something in their life and make a loving and happy world around them."
Namaste,
Sandrine
The Yoga Sandrine teaches is Vinyasa Flow, a flowing form of yoga in which the movements are linked with the breath. This Yoga will instruct you to move from one pose to the next on an inhale or an exhale. It's called Vinyasa Flow because of the smooth way that the poses run together and become like a dance.
Through the practices of Asanas, Pranayama, Relaxation and Meditation, we start changing the way we see life and become a better person.
The practice of yoga will help you to grow physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
The Yoga sessions are designed to strenghen and stretch all muscles of the body, to relax muscles, joints, and nervous system.
During a retreat we will do two Yoga sessions daily, one in the morning before breakfast, which will wake your body up and give your enough energy for the day ahead, and one session in the evening with breathing exercises and a meditation to quite your mind and get ready for a restful nights sleep.
Yoga helps to find balance, peace and inner happiness in our everyday life. It helps to be aware of living in the present moment, to be mindful, to have compassion, to pay attention to our body's reactions and limits, and to connect with our true self and our natural environment.

The Colca Valley is located about 100 miles (160 kilometers) northwest of Arequipa. Its main attraction is its Canyon which is more than twice as deep as the Grand Canyon in the United States at 4,160 m., and it is promoted as the "world's deepest canyon," although the canyon's walls are not as vertical as those of the Grand Canyon. The Colca Valley is a colorful Andean valley with towns founded in Spanish colonial times, and still inhabited by people of the Collaguas and the Cabanas cultures. The local people still maintain ancestral traditions and continue to cultivate the pre-Inca stepped terraces.
The canyon is home to the Andean Condor (Vultur gryphus), a species that has seen worldwide effort to preserve it. The condors can be seen at fairly close range as they fly past the canyon walls, and are an increasingly popular attraction. 'Cruz del Condor' is a popular tourist stop to view the condors, an overlook where condors soar gracefully on thermals of warm air rising from the canyon. The condors are best seen in the early morning and late afternoon when they are hunting. At this point the canyon floor is 3,960 feet (1,200 m) below the rim of the canyon.
The "La Calera natural hot spring" are located at Chivay, the biggest town in the Colca Canyon where we will be lodging during our 3 days retreat.
On the banks of the Colca River, 1 km from Chivay, the main village of the Colca Valley, and 2 km from the hot springs of La Calera, the lodge offers a stunning view of the Valley and is surrounding by a big outside area, which is perfect for our morning yoga classes.
The lodge has 12 rooms, own suite bathroom, hot water 24h, a large dinning area and an inside area for our evening yoga sessions.
Peace and natural environment it's what awaits you this beautiful place of the Colca Valley.
