La Pauzette Shanti Yoga
A yurt stay shaped by nature
At La Pauzette Shanti Yoga, retreat life centers on a yurt set within a green natural setting in Boussenac. The space is also the hosts’ home, giving the place a personal, small-scale feel rather than the formality of a large resort. Travelers from different parts of the world have been welcomed here for several years, making it a base for time away in the countryside. The name points toward yoga, though the shape and style of individual retreats are best confirmed before booking. Come for the appeal of a simple, nature-facing stay and the chance to step out of everyday routines; practical details such as session schedules, meals, and lodging arrangements can vary by retreat. The yurt is the notable accommodation feature, while the surrounding landscape sets an unhurried backdrop for a visit. Check dates, inclusions, and what to expect during your stay with the host.
