The expert's opinion
This trip combines sailing and yoga during a sea voyage from Bonifacio to Olbia , Sardinia. The experience is open to all levels and requires no prior experience in sailing or yoga.
Management
French
You will be guided by Eloi, a high-mountain guide and professional skipper based in Haute-Savoie. Trained as an engineer, his passion for adventure led him to change careers and become a full-time guide in the Alps, particularly the Mont Blanc massif.
A specialist in dual skills, he combines the sea and the mountains during sailing-mountaineering expeditions, both in the Mediterranean and the Atlantic, including expeditions to Norway, Iceland, and the fjords of Greenland. A rigorous instructor, his teaching method focuses on instilling safety to guide participants towards autonomy.
You will be guided by Élodie, a certified yoga teacher, mobility coach, and passionate creator. Her approach is one of gentle and relaxed yoga, where the essential thing is not to achieve a perfect pose, but to take time for yourself, refocus, and find inner balance.
On her mat, she invites everyone to dare, listen to their sensations, and free themselves from judgment. With her sparkling energy and gentle nature, Élodie creates a warm space where everyone can listen to themselves, rediscover themselves, and leave feeling more aligned and more alive!
