Yoga
Avec Bénédicte
I have been teaching yoga since 2020 and since then give group, private classes and monthly events.
My approach to yoga practice is gentle and caring. An invitation to listen to yourself, to explore at your own pace.
For this retreat, I offer courses on the theme of anchoring and self-presence.
Yoga teaches us, during our practice and in all aspects and moments of our life, to be present to ourselves and to the world as it is, in the given moment, with awareness.
This is full presence: being in the moment, in your body, in interaction with others, with the world, with yourself, with life.
L'expérience du froid
Avec Théodore
I am Théodore, a pro athlete, now a yoga teacher. A major injury led me to yoga, this discipline gave me the strength to get back on track, physically and mentally.
I teach with passion and driven by fire from the heart. The objective being to deconstruct our thought patterns and discover through experience who we really are.
If we were to describe my classes:
It is a balance between the warmth of Vinyasa and the very “cool” of Yin.
The goal is to create ease in your respective practices. It’s a time for Self that appears
Succeed in combining the solar and lunar force to build an aligned, therapeutic and conscious practice.
I like to weave together Yoga, wisdom and philosophy in a dynamic and joyful flow.
Le Breathwork
Breathwork is an active meditation technique based on hyperventilation breathing. It consists of modifying one’s state of consciousness to explore one’s emotions and learn to better control them. Explanations with Susan Oubari, pioneer of breathwork in France.
Cold Pranayama
This powerful practice aims to fuel the fire of body awareness through breathwork and exposure to cold.
The higher the consciousness rises the more it will consume everything that stands in the way of our basic health.
