Age with vitality, not despite it.
Yoga, breathwork and the science of healthy ageing for men and women 50+, and those living with MS or chronic conditions.
Taming the Walrus: Inner Intelligence, Yoga, and the Science of Healthy Ageing combines lived experience with MS, ancient yogic wisdom, and modern longevity science into one practical, compassionate guide.
“Dr Gauthier Simmons’ book is a treasure… make Véronique your guide.”

This is not about fighting your body.
Healthy ageing begins with a profound shift: from pushing harder to listening more deeply. From fixing what’s broken to understanding what’s already working.
Drawing on yoga, breathwork, modern science and 25 years of teaching – including her own journey with MS – Véronique offers an approach grounded in intelligence rather than effort.
–Movement: Yoga and strengthening that builds lasting resilience – adapted to your body as it is today.
–Breath: Breathwork to regulate the nervous system, restore energy, and support recovery from chronic stress or illness.
–Awareness: Learning to read your body’s signals so you can work with it rather than against it.
-Science: Evidence-based longevity research woven throughout.
Two paths. One approach.

Yoga & Breathwork for MS
Véronique has lived with MS since 1999. She is one of the few yoga teachers in the world who combines deep MS specialist training with lived experience of the condition.
Over the years, she has developed her own Yoga & Breathwork approach to MS that combines various tools to reduce inflammation, boost energy, improve balance etc.
She organises retreats in the Algarve to share her knowlege and experience.
