I started with Yoga when I was diagnosed with MS and became a teacher in 2008. Over the year, I have developed my own approach to yoga for MS, based on my professional and personal experience but also on based on scientific evidence. This is what I wish to share with you.
This retreat is for 8 persons maximum, which is ideal to ensure I can give everyone my full attention and work with you on what you need most. We will explore how to manage specific MS symptoms but also how to feel better and release tension or stress. Here are some testimonials from former participants.
