Instructor testimonial

Mylène
Instructor, middle mountains guide and yoga teacher
I like to take you into my world, and offer you another way of approaching walking: waking up to what is present, giving ourselves space through postures, and reconnecting with our breath to feel feel fully alive and present as you walk.
In a setting as beautiful as the Aravis, I find that we are helped by this environment to find our essence, our true nature.
