Hi, I am Tamsin from the UK. I moved to France nine years ago to set up a small retreat venue for yoga in my home.
I seek help managing the house and garden between guests as there is not enough space to accommodate guests and helpers together.
Life is slow here and would suit helpers that are self-motivated, enjoy silence and happy to be by themselves as much as spend time with me. I can only accommodate one, possibly two people at a time as there is only ever enough work for this amount of helpers.
The village is very quiet, situated between Bordeaux and Toulouse, set on a hill, surrounded by woodland. The house has space for 3 retreat guests at a time.
I live here with my rescue animals; a cat and two dogs. It's a very peaceful way of life. I enjoy quiet, nature, I love to cook, take photos, write and teach classical Hatha Yoga.
I provide healthy vegetarian food and yoga classes. I am organised, practical, resourceful and capable of many things but it's much more enjoyable sharing skills and ideas with others and there is always plenty to do!
Ongoing support always needed:
DIY / Painting
Gardening - I am starting a permaculture vegetable garden this spring
Experience and love manual work / fixing things.
Photography

The quietness of the place provides an opportunity to stop and observe what is going on in your life. The flow and rhythm suits people that are on a journey of self-inquiry and reflection. I have a daily practice and helpers may use the space to benefit from the shared energy and discipline to gain their own self practice and I am happy to share my knowledge of yoga.
