Practical information on retreats<br />
You may arrive on any day and stay as long as you wish. The rooms<br />
are simple yet comfortable; you are also welcome to pitch your tent<br />
on the Ashram grounds from June to September. The food is lactovegetarian<br />
and two balanced meals are served daily. It is almost<br />
fully organic. During the summer season, the Ashram gets very<br />
good quality organic vegetables from a local producer.<br />
We have also started a permaculture vegetable garden to slowly<br />
grow our own food. We need help with it, let us know if you are<br />
interested by email at orleans@sivananda.net.<br />
Other activities at the Ashram<br />
Year-round hiking in the Orleans forest and along the Loire<br />
river, visit of nearby historic Castles of the Loire Valley and<br />
French gardens, reading, quiet time for introspection. A small<br />
library provides a variety of spiritual books.<br />
Bicycles are available for rent.<br />
In the Yoga shop you will find literature on yoga, meditation<br />
and health and yoga accessories like meditation cushions,<br />
yoga mats, yoga outfits and relaxing music.<br />
Your stay at the Ashram requires a sincere interest in the yogic life<br />
style. Participation in the morning and evening meditation and the<br />
two yoga classes is expected. We welcome beginners as well as<br />
more advanced yoga practitioners.<br />
