What if you decided to start the year differently? Not in agitation or excess, but in listening, conscious movement and presence.
This New Year's retreat is an invitation to reflect on the journey of the past year, to let go of what no longer serves us, and to welcome the new year with gentleness and confidence. A timeless interlude dedicated to reconnecting with your body, your breath, and your thoughts.
In the heart of winter, we offer a moment of rejuvenation combining Pilates, movement , and integration time. These activities, accessible to everyone, are designed as a gentle dialogue with the body, to help you rediscover mobility, fluidity, and calm.

French
Sanaz invites everyone to explore their own rhythm, honor their cycles and embody a freer, more conscious and vibrant presence.
"I draw inspiration from yoga , qi gong , and meditative mobility exercises, but always through my own approach, which lies more between Pilates, dance, and various movement methods I practice, including yoga and gyrokinesis ."
It merges Pilates , stretching and mobility, body liberation dance, and meditative dance inspired by Qi Gong/Pilates to guide practitioners towards a deep reconnection to their bodies.
His approach is at once technical , intuitive , and emotional .
She creates spaces where movement becomes a language, allowing tension to be released, emotions to be expressed, and inner power to be rediscovered.
