We start where you are.

There is no level to reach, only a wish to listen. Every body is different, and that is just fine.

Book a class

A moment for yourself.

A space to breathe, move gently and listen to your body. It isn’t about flexibility or performance: just about being there, with yourself.

Ouarda means rose.

A yoga teacher and yoga therapist, Ouarda has spent more than ten years helping people feel better: in the body, in the mind, in the emotions. Every session is built for the person in the room.

« You don’t feel stressed about doing the movements perfectly. You tell us: do it as it feels right, what matters is being at ease and comfortable… while keeping your strength. »

Hafsa El IdrissiTranslated from French

What you were telling yourself in the street.

What is yoga, really?

It’s a moment for yourself. A space to breathe, move gently and listen to your body. It isn’t about flexibility or performance: just about being there, with yourself.

Can I try before committing?

Yes, a first session is possible, just to see. It matters that you feel the space, the pace and the approach suit you.

What if I have never done yoga?

No problem at all. We start where you are. There is no level to reach, only a wish to listen. Every body is different, and that is just fine.

I’m tired and short of time… is it worth it?

Yes, especially then. Even one hour can change the energy of a day. It isn’t lost time, it’s time to live the rest better.

Can I come with a child, or during pregnancy?

Yes. The space is meant to be flexible and welcoming. It adapts to the moments of life and to what you need, without pressure.

A first session is possible, just to see if it suits you.
