New season Ashtanga Yoga Montreux 2025
Following the departure of my revered Guru, I have decided to radically reorient Ashtanga Yoga Montreux.
Our Shala is now devoted exclusively to the practice of Mysore, with absolute respect for the teachings of Sharath R. Jois.
It is with great pleasure that I unveil the line-up for the next six months, featuring only teachers authorised level 2 by Sharath R. Jois
These remarkable teachers with whom I have had the privilege of practising will offer you an authentic immersion in the Ashtanga tradition. With their rigorous training, the fidelity of their transmission and their personalised approach, they will guide you at every stage of your practice.
The number of places is limited to preserve the intimacy of the sessions and guarantee individual attention to each practitioner. Book your session now!
