Yoga retreat

GENTLE AND DYNAMIC YOGA, INDIAN SUMMER, SEA, NATURE AND INNER REGENERATION

An Autumn Escape of Movement, Rest and Nature

An autumn retreat designed as a gentle transition between the energy of summer and the calm of the year’s end: a time to slow down, breathe, move with intention, and reconnect with yourself.

It is an opportunity to enjoy the last beautiful days of the season in Corsica, immerse yourself in the still-sunlit landscapes of the maquis, reconnect with your body, release accumulated tension, and find a more balanced rhythm. Through a blend of gentle and dynamic yoga practices, moments of rest, optional sea swims, and free time, everyone is invited to listen to their own needs.

Spend a few days in the heart of the family-run and unspoilt Hameau de Petripini, in Southern Corsica, just a short distance from Porto-Vecchio. Surrounded by nature, the estate offers beautiful outdoor spaces as well as warm and cosy interiors, including a sauna, relaxation areas and welcoming communal spaces, designed to help you fully unwind.

An intimate retreat experience, limited to 11 guests, guided by the passionate and inspiring yoga teacher Jara Van der Ham (see biography below).

Jara Van der Ham

@jarafelicia

For Jara, her exploration of yoga began when she left Amsterdam to move to Paris in 2016. Always drawn to movement and sport — from baseball to ballet — she found yoga to be a gentler and more caring approach to the body and mind. She quickly realised that yoga could be extremely beneficial and that everyone should be able to enjoy it.

Today, Jara passionately teaches creative and functional vinyasa, often centred around key postures, as well as gentle but powerful yin. She also offers specific classes focused on backbends and back health.

With an approach that is both technical and accessible, she creates a relaxed space where everyone can challenge themselves with confidence, forget their insecurities and explore their potential. Jara is known for her passion for guiding her students to places they never thought they could reach. Teaching in English and French, she makes it a point of honour to bring a lightness to her classes. For her, yoga is above all a moment of reconnection with oneself and deep well-being.
