The Eiffel Tower. Baguettes. Delicate pastries. These are the things that come to mind whenever France is mentioned. Yoga, however, is probably one of the furthest concepts that one thinks of when it comes to this European country. In the past decades, however, it has gained popularity in France, so much so that large-scale festivals, including those held right in the shadow of the Eiffel Tower, are organized by enthusiasts. Besides these major events, yoga retreats have also sprouted up around the country, with guests given the opportunity to cleanse their body, mind, and soul, surrounded by the beauty of the French countryside.
