Kamalaya Koh Samui
Awaken your body from within and
“Deepen your Yoga Practice“ with Francine Aubry

August 5 - 15, 2006

Thailand’s first Wellness Sanctuary and Holistic Spa, Kamalaya Koh Samui invites you to "Deepen your Yoga Practice" with Francine Aubry.

Within this 10 day retreat, you will have the opportunity to discover the beauty and depth of your being in dynamic morning sessions which help to deepen your practice to flow with happiness and grace from one asana to the next, and in gentle afternoon practices which promote quietness while awaken your body and mind.

During the retreat, Francine will also help you to explore the partner yoga approach and discover the benefits and the pleasure that yoga can bring when practiced with a partner. While working with the energy and strength of your partner, this practice promotes connectedness with yourself and with the other through touch and breath and the search for balance.

From early childhood, Francine Aubry has been, and still is driven by a true passion for every aspect of the art of movement, for music and for literature. She has been led down this path by a thirst for the divine, and a life of spirituality, through grace, beauty and contemplation. Francine has experienced and taught many practices for the body and spirit, such as Tai Chi and Modern Dance with stage performances and choreographic creations. In 1988, an encounter with a traditional music and dance Balinese Master has radically transformed her perception of the world. For Francine, the Balinese art constitutes a Calling, a true revelation. Since 1998, she has totally devoted herself to the practice and teaching of Yoga. Francine runs Yoga retreats in Quebec, Vancouver, Bali and Morocco. She has perfected her Yoga practice with teachers such as Hart Lazer, Mark Darby, Allison Ulan, Erich Schiffmann. Rich of these various experiences, Francine Aubry wishes to share her knowledge, through a teaching of Yoga which is respectful of individual evolution.
