Charlotte3 Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Hi there,A friend has asked me to try to find out if there are any yoga classes in the southern Manche, northwest Mayenne,southwest Orne area. Any ideas appreciated. (I have asked at several Mairies locally, but nothing doing at present)Many thanksAly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robkat Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 We have a house near Surgeres (17) & there is yoga every Wednesday in the local hall - I know this is miles from where you are - but it appears that many French country folk regard yoga as a sort of 'sect' thing & are slightly wary of it - so we are told by our yoga teacher!! Our class is taken by an English guy & there are more Brits than French in the class. We hope this attitude changes before we live there permanently! Good luck in you search anywayKathy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlotte3 Posted April 29, 2007 Author Share Posted April 29, 2007 Thanks Kathy, We have classes in the next village, but they run September to June.Of course, this being France she won't be able to join until September.....!Aly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzer Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 We also live near Surgeres. My wife attends a Yoga class on a Monday in Surgeres The instructress is French and my wife is one of two Britishpeople attending.All very friendly and no English spoken.She had not done Yoga previously,and whilst it would have been easier with an English speaking instructor, has found the double challenge excellent. Much appreciation by the French for the way she is adapting to both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerise Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 Aly - I go to a yoga class in Cordes (Tarn) run by a French lady and most of the members are French and not very 'sect' like! No class this week as we are having a 'pont' but I believe there is a federation which gives a list of all classes. I'll see if I can find out whether there are any near you when I go next Monday.

Charlotte3 Posted April 30, 2007 Author Share Posted April 30, 2007 Thanks Maggi, that would be great!I'm almost sure that our local classes are run by a French person also. I've not seen any people locally who look like they might be in a sect...except the odd farmer perhaps...Aly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even tried No2 daughter (in desperation expecting to be told I'm stupid Mummy), but guess what?....she's stumped too!Any ideas? Bet it's something dead simple!Aly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
