Slow-down stays at Centre AMATA are ideal for all those who long for a meaningful off-time without an intense schedule. Beneficial activities such as hatha yoga, meditative walks in silence, conscious contact with nature, elevating music, self-treatments with acupressure points and silent sitting meditation are tools we like to work with during our sessions. It does not matter how flexible you are or how it looks - anybody can follow the exercises. What really matters is being present and using the guided exercises as a way to connect to the stillness that is always there within each one of us. Total beginners as well as experienced practitioners are welcome!

A very comfortable accommodation, healthy organic vegetarian food and a serene and calm atmosphere will make your slow-down stay a truly amazing and replenishing experience for body and soul. And the best thing about it?

You define your program! You choose: 

• The date
• The duration
• The activities
• The language (sessions are available in English, French, German or Swiss- German)

You book your stay with us on a half-board basis (with organic vegetarian breakfast and dinner). Over lunchtime, the kitchen of the guesthouse is available for a self-catered lunch or snack. (Please note that the kitchen is only available for guests participating in at least 1 slow-down session per day. It is not available for B&B guests.)

You can come alone, as a couple or as a group. The sessions are available for 1-8 persons. Other guests might join the sessions. 

During your stay, you can choose from the sessions presented below to define your program (1-2 sessions per day). Sessions need to be booked latest 24 hours in advance. 

Centre AMATA programs deliberately leave plenty of free time to enjoy the beauty of this place, relax, take a dip on the pool, sit in nature, contemplate, meditate, go for walks etc... If you wish to explore the area, there are beautiful walks and hikes waiting for you at our doorstep! We have two old-fashioned bicycles our guests can borrow to visit the nearby villages. The lake "Lac de Paladru" and its beaches can be reached in 7 minutes by car. On the shore of the lake sits the sweet little tourist town of Charavines where you find the tourism office, some grocery shops and restaurants. The river Rhone and the lake "lac d'Aiguebelette" can be reached in about 30-40 minutes. To get to the mountains, it takes 45-60 minutes, depending on where you go. 

We encourage our guests not to overload their days at Centre AMATA with too many activities and instead to enjoy relaxing and simply being!
