It touches on the very essence of the human being in his relationship to the universe, and sheds light on the meaning of life.

Anxious to preserve the essence of Yoga, our school bases its teaching on the solid foundation of tradition. However, it applies to convey a living Yoga and adapted to Western mores. The teaching is based on respect, creativity and sensitivity. The proposed practices are adapted to the physical and mental possibilities of each. They try to provide each person, based on his experience of life, elements that allow it to move forward.

The teachers, all graduates of Yoga Switzerland, or about to be, enrich their knowledge continually through personal experimentation and permanent reflection, allowing them to offer the best to their students.
