Yoga and Osteopathy

Come participate in this unique retreat and enjoy the combined benefits of an integral yoga practice (yoga classes, group meditation, conferences, vegetarian meals and meditative walks) as well as daily osteopathic treatments adapted to the practice of Yoga.

You will benefit from osteopathic care spread over 5 hours, three days of consecutive 90-minute treatments, in addition to the consultation and examination on the first day.  The retreat aims to improve not only your yoga practice, but also includes a daily clinical assessment to identify physical restrictions, including lack of flexibility, that could limit your yoga postures.  The retreat is designed to help you release physical tension through personalized osteopathic care while progressing in this release through asanas.

This unique retreat is for anyone interested in overall health, wellness and the mind-body connection. Whether you are a yoga practitioner or simply curious about the benefits of gentle and natural osteopathic treatments, this retreat offers an ideal opportunity to improve your physical and mental health, while deepening your yoga practice in a serene and caring setting.

Osteopathy is an approach of gentle manual techniques aimed at maximizing the patient's health so that the body functions optimally. Osteopathic treatments also aim to reduce pain, spasms, and inflammation, while improving flexibility and bodily functions. Osteopathy is recognized for its effectiveness against chronic pain, often caused by musculoskeletal disorders. Patients frequently see immediate improvements in their condition and well-being immediately after a first session.

Nicolas Philippon, osteopath since 2016, also completed training in chiropractic in 2004. However, he chose to specialize solely in osteopathic care, which he also integrated into the practice of yoga.  Coming from a family where his father is also a chiropractor, Nicolas has always been passionate about manual body care techniques. He trained as a yoga teacher at the Sivananda center in 1988 and has been offering highly appreciated osteopathic treatments since 2019 at the Sivananda Yoga Camp in Val Morin as well as in several other locations.
