Mesanj Yoga
Julie Ledemé
Julie Ledemé has travelled a lot. Having left her native Ardennes aged 18, she has now returend and views them with more experienced eyes: "A magnificent region with a rich natural and cultural heritage".
Building on her experience, she has set herself the goal of re-creating the links between the Ardennes and the people who live there. Her chosen route is via yoga: group classes, pre-natal and post-natal classes, therapeutic yoga and walks…
For her, walking outdoors is a form of yoga, a lifestyle, a universe.
A yoga walk is a half-day or full day of gentle walking. Time for yourself in your bubble. A series of gentle poses at the start and finish. In the middle a 7 to 15km walk, with several pauses to feed the body and the soul.
Yoga walks can also be meditative, with heightened senses: sight, hearing, touch and smell. Another way of experiencing the forest.

Julie recommends: Ô pî d’la voye
Not just for a snack break… At Ô pî d’la voye, tou can have a drink, a bowl of soup, a sandwich or a home-made cake, and also buy the chair you're sitting on or some other furniture… Séverine and Christophe Fauquet both gave up their jobs to convert this former factory just outside the village of Nohan-sur-Semoy, near Thilay. They have restored it while preserving its identity and offer a welcome like you get at home.
They are driven by a desire to promote what is close to them. So you can find local produce in their kitchen and grocery ares. Séverine and Christophe know all their suppliers and regularly visit them. In their annexe, they welcome artists, performers, clubs, societies and businesses that share their values, for exhibitions, meditation evenings, concerts and seminars… Conviviality.
