Our classes philosophy
Diversity, open-mindedness, and respect are the foundations of our studio.
As paths towards happiness, well-being and growth are plentiful and unique, we want to encourage everyone to be yourself. And, for this purpose, we want to offer different options to suit your needs and objectives.
In an international-minded spirit, we provide our classes in an easy-to-understand English. Our purpose is of course to welcome everyone. But we also want to go beyond the spoken language, and share our passion, our energy, and movements language common to the whole Yoga and Pilates communities in the world.
We aim to serve our community by creating a safe and enjoyable environment where everyone, regardless of the origins, culture or language, can relax, practice and engage with the others.
We believe that Pilates and Yoga are more than just physical practices. There are lifestyles. It is way more than being flexible, or being skinny, or being strong. It is about developing self-awareness, and consciousness. It is about developing the potential of our body. It is about going beyond our limits, but also learning to accept ourself for who we are. It is about developing flexibility and strength in our mind.
Our classes
The courses we offer follow methods drawn from different cultures, each having the art of breathing as its basis.
As we embraces diversity in the techniques we teach, we encourage our students to combine different class styles and different teacher styles in order to maximize the benefits of the practice.We believe that each technique supports and complements one another.
Each method taught, through breathing and through its philosophy, enables one to find one’s centre, to live in the present moment, to find harmony between body, mind and soul and to achieve unity.
