Management
French
Beryl is bubbly, dynamic, and passionate. She grew up in the region, near Montpellier. In 2020, she trained in traditional Hatha yoga (300 hours Sivananda), then furthered her training in the yoga offered by physiotherapist De Gasquet, as well as in prenatal yoga. She teaches in a yoga studio and online, offering a style that is sometimes dynamic, sometimes gentle. Her current specialty is the dragon dance!
Her curiosity and thirst for knowledge led her down the path of spirituality, where body and mind meet, first in Asia, then in her adopted home, the Cévennes. Initially trained in traditional hatha yoga (Sivananda yoga teacher training) in 2018, Célia furthered her training at the Muse Yoga studio (hatha and vinyasa), then in yin yoga and yoga adapted for children. Her yoga guidance is both rigorous and intuitive, like a call to return to oneself through the body.
