A certified yoga instructor, Flore specializes in functional yoga , a modern and accessible approach that encourages movement with greater fluidity, awareness, and enjoyment. Her teaching is based on four essential pillars: mobility, gentle strength, flexibility, and recovery . These simple yet effective foundations help loosen the body, release tension, and create space—both in movement and in the mind.
During this yoga and creativity retreat, Flore offers sessions designed as genuine moments of exploration : fluid movements, breathwork, and periods of deep relaxation, with no strict rules and a strong emphasis on listening to the body. The practices are accessible to everyone, without any pressure to perform, and with options to adapt to each person's energy and needs.
The goal: to feel good , to rediscover lightness in the body, to let energy flow, and to open a space conducive to creativity, play, and personal expression. A vibrant, joyful, and uninhibited yoga practice to move, create, and enjoy yourself.
Pema opened her pottery workshop and boutique in Embrun in July 2024. Pottery is a career change for her. She first got her hands dirty in 2022 following a period of stagnation and self-reflection, and her passion for pottery immediately took hold.
Trained at the Aubagne School of Ceramics, she obtained her CAP (vocational certificate) in pottery throwing and went on to create a workshop in Embrun. A vibrant place, filled with warmth and creative energy, where Pema shapes her pottery and hosts classes and workshops to share her love for clay and the infinite possibilities it offers.
She will be the one to guide the modeling session, encouraging creativity and letting go, always with kindness. Whether you have a crazy project or a brilliant idea, she will be there to support you in bringing your projects to life.
