Each year St Barth Summer Camp features a unique theme to guide your inner exploration. For this new edition, we embark on the Hero’s Myth, a universal story of initiation, from call and inner command to transformation. Ancient wisdom meets the power of yoga & the compelling narrative you are ready to create. Through dedicated yoga practices, mindful movement, interactive study, we will dive deep into the key stages of this adventure :

Identifying the Call
What internal or external spark ignites your own journey ? What life event sounds the gong for change ?
Identifying the resources and tools, both internal & external that allow you to support growth. We will become familiar with the different parts of ourselves, working towards a sense

Embodying the Hero
of coordinated wholeness and maturity.

Facing Challenges
What are the obstacles we face? Let’s meet the stagnation and overwhelm that keep us in the freeze response. Nervous system regulation & somatic exercises will further help us increase our tolerance windows to meet life’s challenges and reinvent our calm aliveness.
