Who is this Yoga Dance Air (R) retreat for?
Mixed levels
This retreat is opened to mixed levels, which is the beauty. We will adapt to your level, injuries, needs. We will be using contemporary dance, oriental dance , waving and yoga as a movement program. If you are new to any of those styles, no worries, we will re-explain the basics.
As we move up to 13 hours in a little time span, it is recommended to have a regular movement practice (at least two years or a regular weekly class), and to have a certain endurance. Motivated intermediates and beginners who have moved in the past are welcome. It will be challenging but we believe you can push through and grow, while respecting your body.
Advanced practitioners will feel challenged and rediscover basics with a new eye. They will be challenged appropriately and also learn to take it easy and let go.
Teachers of the Yoga Dance Air (R) teacher training will be with us practicing their teaching skills.

Le Moulin du Claireau is the realization of a family project for Alda and her three children, Jason, Océane and Odin. Alda had been looking for years for "the house of happiness", a large house in the middle of nature where the whole family could gather. Océane was looking for a place to organize yoga holidays for her students. Jason and Odin were looking for a place to organize seminars and team-building for their company.After several years of research, they fell in love with the Moulin du Claireau, a place rich in energy, warm and relaxing. https://www.moulinduclaireau.fr/

TESTIMONIALS
Mosana, Switzerland
I really enjoyed Module 1 of Yoga Dance Air Training!
In addition to learning and receiving many technical tools and teaching resources, I discovered another perspective on Yoga (respectful of traditions) and its harmonious fusion with Dance!
A complete, well-balanced and unprecedented training program that I highly recommend for anyone who's curious, motivated and ready to invest passionately alongside Anasma!
Karen, Drôme
"For some time now I've been looking for a workshop where dance and yoga coexist - without creating a discipline that is neither one nor the other - and where the teacher is competent in both fields.
Anasma has exceeded my expectations! She excels in these 2 disciplines.
What's more, she's educational, cheerful and always ready to listen.
This intensive course was an enchanted interlude, a true immersion from which I retain wonderful memories of bonds forged and caring, friendships sealed, gentle surpassing of oneself, games, laughter, daring...
I'm also left with this little taste of 'coming back'!"
Laure, Lyon
I took part in the Yoga Danse / Yog'art intensive week organized by Anasma in 2018. It was a discovery for me, a yogi for a short year, athletic but not having danced for a very long time. The least I can say is that these few days enabled me to unleash my creativity, create connections between (different) yoga and (different) dance, bring more roundness and elasticity to the movements, dare to transgress the boundaries of these practices and invite the body to express itself before the mind. I didn't think I'd be able to improvise solo and duo movements in such a short space of time, or even lead the group! Anasma was able to put us at ease right from the start, creating a wonderful energy and we experienced some intense moments, rich in emotion and sometimes even tears of happiness! What a pleasure to be able to move, dance, meditate, express oneself and share every day in beautiful, caring company. Anasma is a multipotential artist with infinite resources! I have fond memories and wonderful friendships. Thank you Anasma 🙏
Mathieu, Toulouse
"The yogart course I took with Anasma was an incredible human adventure for me!
I've recently taken up dance and yoga, both of which interest me enormously, so I thought why not! But I'm a stiff beginner and I felt like crap, so it was a real challenge for me! But what a surprise it was to find such incredibly benevolent guidance! Not only was I able to progress and surpass myself, but above all I experienced a human adventure that I'll never forget!
Anasma has the ability to take you gently, with joy and simplicity, to explore new horizons that I never imagined! It was a real wake-up call for me! I didn't think I was capable of all that!
And above all, it was the driving force that kept me going!
The combination of dance and yoga is such a blessing for the body and mind that it pushed me to continue these practices in order to progress and come back for more!
Whether you're a beginner or an expert, don't hesitate to come and experience an incredible adventure!"
Prisca, Paris
Anasma, I really wanted to thank you for sharing and passing on your knowledge. Your teaching style is exceptional.
You know how to put your students "in charge of their learning". I didn't see the time go by, everything was so well put together. I was really dreading this session with my health problems, but you worked your magic. Thanks for all your tips. I feel completely remotivated.
Thank you very much 🩷
Lise, Paris
"A great workshop with Anasma! As a dancer, I was able to discover yoga during this workshop and I really enjoyed the fusion of these two disciplines. Anasma is a passionate artist and a great teacher who transmits her art with great kindness. We were a small group and very quickly bonds were forged between each participant. The program was very varied, rich and structured, while leaving plenty of room for creativity and fun. During this workshop I had fun while developing my technique and knowledge of my body in dance movement".
