Pranayama is control of Breath. "Prana" is Breath or vital energy in the body. On subtle levels prana represents the pranic energy responsible for life or life force, and "ayama" means control. Founder @benjamin.sears pictured at the LUX villa during his daily practice of this technique.

At LUX, class is augmented by lectures, photo analysis and workshops. The focus is always therapy via precision. Summer dates online now #luxlife#linkinbio

Because food is for sharing and enjoying! #luxlife photocred @nellyvader

Returning guests. A recurring thing here at LUX.

It's that fresh mountain air #luxlife

We are blessed with the skies that Monet took his inspiration from #luxlife

Green smoothie for breakfast? We have you covered. Homemade, gluten free muesli? Of course, and don't forget the fresh Goats yogurt to accompany it. Eggs? You need your protein. Chia pudding? We love our Chia seeds. A fresh Croissant? We have both chocolate and plain! Or maybe today you feel like a smorgasbord of all of the above – we won’t hold you back #luxlife#eatlikeaking

ust because we #yogaeverydamnday doesn't mean we can't let loose! #luxlife

Nothing like a good sweat session to squeeze out those excess toxins.

Yoga everywhere. Guests stop, drop and asana in Antibes on an afternoon excursion

We meet you where your practice is currently. Beginner, intermediate, or advanced. We then fill your cup with knowledge, technique, encouragement and a little push before you leave again #luxlife 

An adjustment is a process, but not a mechanical one. There is a small line on which informational, medicinal and magical all balance - follow that line. Words @benjamin.sears

Fresh mint from our garden

Yogi excursion! Guests visit the beautiful Tourettes sur Loup

We have our fire roaring at the LUX villa, keeping guests in cosy luxury today.

Unwind. A healthy practice has a beginning, middle and end — a single loop that becomes an upward helix. Finish what's been started, or continue until you know you need go no further.

What would Christmas be without multiple cheeses?! Merry Christmas from the villa, LOVE and LUX.

LUX founder @benjamin.sears follows the line of informational, medicinal and magical in his teachings. Discover this and more on one of our retreats.

Adjustments are a physical remapping, reorientation to the most efficient path and often a route the student could not see alone. #regram @benjamin.sears
