Like the Phoenix rising from its ashes, we all at different times of our lives rise from something. Whether it be to rise physically, emotionally or spiritually. The idea of ascending involves that there are falls, there are darker places but if our intentions are kept clear, it is all for growth. Yoga teaches us to cultivate clear intentions, to go through obstacles with determination and Grace with a sense of letting go of expectations.

YOUR TEACHER, GUIDE AND HOST: MAËVA BOLDRON
Maëva was born in Paris and discovered yoga over the course of her years of dance studies. She then spent six years in New York, where she also studied yoga with teachers who greatly inspired her: Dharma Mittra, Jared McCann, Yoshio Hama and many others.
Always in search of furthering her knowledge and inspiration, Maeva studied dance for four years with Alvin Ailey, and did two years of freelance dance work during which she did her first training as a yoga teacher in Thailand with her brother, whom she deeply admires, Mathieu Boldron, taking the opportunity to train in Thai massage.
Maëva a été formée par Mathieu à l’Ashtanga Vinyasa et au Yinyasa (un mélange de Yin et Vinyasa), une pratique fluide, lente et précise, pleine de soleil. Le plus important est de se rappeler constamment que votre “potentiel est infini” et le reste suivra.

After practice in the open air shala, as you lie by the turquoise pool, enjoying the beautiful Mediterranean garden landscape, you will hear only the bells of the sheep, the song of the birds and the gentle breeze in the trees.
