Discover Morzine, France

Our venue Morin Chalet is in Morzine, which is an idyllically scenic and traditional alpine village with beautiful wooden chalets nestling in the Alps between mountains and forests.

Morzine is located in the heart of the Portes du Soleil, close to the Swiss border, midway between Lake Geneva and Mont Blanc.
Whether you are looking for relaxation or adventure, Morzine is the place to be in the summer. It is like an amazing limitless, gigantic outdoor adventure playground. There is so much to do for all ages and interests.

Morzine is a beautiful village that has preserved its traditional Savoyard architecture. It has an abundance of activities to try from our wonderful yoga retreat to the adrenaline rush of the downhill mountain biking scene or white water rafting and everything in between. Take a family walk through the forest along the river Dranse stopping off at the great playground or enjoy a workout using the twenty obstacles alongside the river, over a 4km circuit. The circuit is also perfect for jogging.
You will find it packed full of charming cafés, bars and restaurants and offers a wide variety of delightful shops and boutiques.
The village sits at the base of several mountains, it looks towards Lake Geneva, across to Mont Blanc and upwards to the resort of Avoriaz. A river runs through the centre of town offering stunning flat easy walks with wooded areas and shade.

You will fall in love with the diversity, authenticity and beauty of Morzine and the surrounding area.

About Laura

Hi, I’m Laura. I’m a mum to two beautiful children, Mya & JeanLuc and wife to my wonderful husband, Alan. I started my yoga journey to practice yoga at home with my two children. When I saw the effect it had on them, and the enjoyment it brought, I decided to take the next step and I got certified to teach children’s yoga. Then, when covid hit, we needed yoga more than ever. Life as we knew it had changed dramatically and we were into the unknown.
When I saw the effects yoga and mindfulness had on my children, I started to branch out and teach my nieces and nephews online, and then Star Kids Yoga was born. It has been a great success and it continues to grow. Currently, I teach a range of classes from primary schools to after school clubs in Malahide, Kinsealy, Swords in Co Dublin and Drogheda in Co Louth.
I understand how busy life can be with kids, especially when both parents are working full time and you’re trying to juggle the work/life balance. My life consists of working part-time as cabin crew for a busy airline. I am attending college five days a week and I teach a minimum of five children’s yoga classes a week, which I absolutely love.
Morzine holds a very special place in my heart. I lived and worked here for many years. I moved home to Dublin in 2011, where I finally settled down. Myself and my husband celebrated our wedding in Morzine in 2019 along with our children and our closest family and friends. It was so magical. I have a burning desire to share this beautiful village with as many people as possible, and what better way to do this than through practicing yoga, mindfulness, fun, family bonding, holistic and wellness treatments.

Yoga
Yoga for children:

My children’s yoga classes are designed to be fun, interactive and creative to stimulate their imaginations. We learn about yoga and mindfulness through music, stories, games, a lot of dancing, fun and arts & crafts. Some of the benefits of yoga for children are:

  • Yoga helps children manage their anxiety.
  • Yoga improves children’s emotional regulation.
  • Yoga boosts children’s self-esteem.
  • Yoga increases children’s body awareness and mindfulness.
  • Yoga enhances children’s concentration and memory.
  • Yoga develops children’s strength, balance and flexibility.
  • Yoga is FUN!
Yoga for adults:

Morning Practice – Vinyasa Yoga,

Vinyasa means to move with the breath, which is essentially the core of a Vinyasa class. Often called flow yoga, Vinyasa Flow is a style of yoga with focus on transitions and movements with some stationary movements also connected with the breath.

Although Vinyasa is often considered a fast practice, it can also be soft and gentle. Moving with the breath can also mean slowing down your transitions with deep inhales and slow exhalations. In our Family Just Breathe Yoga Retreat we will be enjoying various Vinyasa and Hatha Yoga flows for Joy, Strength and Inner confidence.

Every morning we will be exploring breath work (Pranayama) in our practise and building on each class as the weeks flows. If it’s not fun, it’s not yoga.

“I love syncing my breath with my body, it’s a moving meditation which helps me to focus my mind and ultimately relax” – Carla.

Reviews

“My head feels happy, my heart feels happy, my whole body is happy” – Sophie, age 4

“My daughter did the 3-5 year camp this week. It was her first time to go to something like this on her own. Laura was so friendly and welcoming which really put her mind at ease. She had an absolute ball and hasn’t stopped talking about it! Highly recommend” – Mum of Alannah, aged 3

“My little boy just finished the Drogheda camp. He had an absolute ball. Every day he was excited to go back for the next. He loved Laura; said she was the best! He made so many nice arts and crafts and done “lots of lovely namaste yoga” he said. Thanks Laura, we will be back for sure.” – Mum of James, aged 5

“My three children went to a yoga summer camp with Laura. They had such an amazing time. They learned so much, and were even teaching me and their dad about “lion’s breath”, how to meditate with our fingers, and how we say thank you to the sun by doing yoga poses! Along with all the arts and crafts they did, which were based around mindfulness & yoga – they cannot wait to return to the next camp with Laura” – Mum to 3 girls aged 6 – 10 years

“Carla is the best! She is so amazing at what she does and creates a calming and healing space. I had a massage treatment as well as IET and reflexology with Carla at the 8 day Rebirth and Refresh Retreat in Hawaii and it was bliss. I felt so safe and relaxed and I felt like I was on a cloud after the sessions. She is very knowledgeable and experienced and truly cares about you and your healing journey. I can’t wait to see her again.” – Athena

“Carla is a true healer! I highly recommend her services – whatever they are, wherever she is! She is great at what she does – Yoga, Reflexology, Coaching, Sound Healing -all of it. She is fantastic at giving massages too. I love her honest, cheerful, up-beat, encouraging, and positive energy. She also has endless energy! Carla is a loving, kind, honest and dedicated healer that truly knows how to ‘read’ energy in order to facilitate healing! I was lucky to have met her in Hawaii at a health retreat she helped organise and run. She was very busy in the retreat, and worked day and night never complaining. Always smiling and ready to help! Carla is dedicated to her craft and clients and is sincere and gifted.” – Lorene

“I attended the Rebirth and Refresh Retreat in Hawaii last month with my mother and sister. Soul to Sole Wellbeing was an organiser and active practitioner in this retreat and led an intimate group through deep restorative practises and treatments in a very healing setting. My family benefited greatly from this retreat and came home with new skill sets for a healthier body and mind! The retreat was both professional and accessible and I look forward to the next one planned.” – Miriam

“I had two amazing Yoga practises with Carla in the beautiful Santa Teresa, Costa Rica! From the many classes I attended, hers was the one that made me smile the most and actually feel the joy that yoga should bring. The little Reiki elements were also great and Carla even gave my friend a little gift before she left. Thank you very much Carla.” – Robyn

Jasmine Silverstein

I enjoyed an amazing massage by Carla last month. She found all the places in my shoulders and back that were the most sore and needed that attention. She also gave me an Indian head massage and reflexology treatment that nearly put me to sleep! It was so relaxing! My body was so overdue for a massage, I am sure it was a lot of work for Carla. I appreciate all the effort she put in to help me get back on track with my self care routine.
