The values of freedom, happiness and sharing have always been deeply rooted in my being and continue to nourish my life. As a hyperactive child, I quickly felt the need for green spaces to find my balance. Forests, streams, meadows and pastures were my daily companions and it was at the tops of trees, nestled in the branches, that I found my refuge. Without knowing it, I was taking my first steps towards yoga, this union, this connection with something greater than oneself.
It was a long time ago, at the age of 18, that my journey towards the world of health, movement and teaching began. First, I worked in several fitness centers between Ferney-Voltaire and Lausanne. Then, my desire for freedom, to stand on my own feet, allowed me, along with my husband, to open our own fitness chain in Geneva, on La Côte and in Lausanne.
Yoga naturally took more and more place in my life, until the day when it seemed obvious to me to share the benefits of this thousand-year-old practice. I therefore followed numerous trainings to consolidate my knowledge (diplomas in Yoga, Reiki, Ericksonian Hypnosis, EFT, Heart Coherence, Neuroscience).
Although I am deeply inspired by the ancestral lineage of Vedanta and by the teachings of Swami Sivananda and his traditional approach to Hatha Yoga, I also wanted to broaden my horizons to more modern practices such as Chair Yoga, Yin Yoga, Vinyasa and with my profound understanding of hypnosis I guide you in Yoga Nidra (daydreaming) accompanied by a Crystal Bowl to promote deep relaxation.
Why in Founex?
Why open a yoga studio far from Nyon, Gland or Geneva where traffic would be more important?
Simply because the opportunity presented itself at the right time and my ultimate goal is to share within my community, and not just for business.
Bringing yoga to the heart of my village gives me the opportunity to promote serene local activities and support soft mobility.
What is particularly dear to my heart and what brings me happiness is to offer children, close to school, the powerful tools, that are today indispensable, to manage their emotions (fears, anxieties, etc.) in order to develop their self-confidence for their future.
We are now about 10 yoga teachers offering a range of 15 different yoga and Pilates classes for all levels, from beginner to advanced.

My journey into yoga began when I was pregnant in 2012 in Geneva. I was looking for a way to relieve my back pain, but also to cultivate some balance in my life. Since t hen, I have always been drawn to the physical wellness that yoga has been able to provide. Later, my family grew to 4 and we settled in our lovely Founex.
I completed my YTT 200 hour certification in March 2021 in the US. I was trained in Vinyasa, Hatha Yoga and Restorative Yoga. I also covered some knowledge of Yin Yoga and Chair Yoga. During my training, I acquired more spiritual and conscious yogic knowledge.
Afterwards, I started to give private classes to people with different physical difficulties. I continued my journey by teaching Back Yoga and Slow Flow at Accessible Yoga Founex since November 2021. I practice yoga with my students for their physical and emotional well-being where everyone is welcome. Having completed my training as an Ayurvedic nutritionist, I continue to deepen my practice and enrich my skills as I teach. My class is bilingual (French-English), s uitable for all ages and I provide the necessary variations for each student.
Starting yoga is a beginning of life!
To Slow Flow
My name is Lorena. I’m a devoted dog mom and new boy mom, and I’ve been living in Switzerland since 2021.
For me, yoga is a continuous journey of self-study—a practice of balancing discipline with softness and learning to let go, approaching the practice as an offering rather than a pursuit of the self. I teach as I live: as a lifelong student who doesn’t have all the answers, but who shares the practice with honesty, warmth, and curiosity.
My classes are rooted in tradition and shaped by my background in Ashtanga Vinyasa.
I offer a complete practice with a set sequence that integrates breath, asana, and meditation. When welcomed, I include hands-on adjustments and mindful modifications to support each student’s unique experience.
I am also trained in Rocket Vinyasa with David Kyle, Assists and Adjustments with Stewart Gilchrist, and Vinyasa and Yin Yoga with Yoga Union.
Come explore a practice that goes beyond postures — a space to breathe, feel, and reconnect with what truly matters.
I look forward to sharing this practice with you.

To Dynamic Vinyasa
“ We are the architects of our own happiness. »
Our body speaks.
Our posture reflects our mental state, as well as our mental state is printed on our body.
Having always exercised a physical activity, I went from simply practicing Pilates regularly to w anting to teach it myself. Passionate about communication, my approach integrates the experiences drawn from my personal and professional life. Through observation, I want you t o take time for yourself, to feel, to listen to yourself and to develop your potential.
About my classes

I’m waiting for you to :
I look forward to seeing you for a great Pilates session every Monday and Tuesday at 6:15 p.m.
To Fascia Pilates with Marie
Yoga has been part of my life for many years. It is far more than a practice to me — it is a true anchor, a source of balance, inner peace, and personal growth. Over time, it naturally became something I deeply wanted to share with children, offering them precious tools they can carry with them throughout their lives.
Working in schools has given me invaluable hands-on experience supporting children in their everyday environment. It has allowed me to better understand their emotions, needs, sensitivities, and the challenges they face in today’s world.
With my background in education and my yoga teacher training, my intention is to create a meaningful bridge between these two worlds — offering children a gentle space where performance no longer matters, where they can simply breathe, reconnect with themselves, grow in confidence, and flourish at their own pace.
I strongly believe that every child carries unique potential within them. My role is to create a calm, caring, and reassuring environment where each child feels safe enough to express themselves freely, without pressure or comparison.
Listening, kindness, and mutual respect are at the heart of everything I offer.
My classes are thoughtfully designed to meet children exactly where they are — with all their personalities, emotions, strengths, and sensitivities.
“One sees clearly only with the heart. What is essential is invisible to the eye.”
— Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
I look forward to welcoming your children onto the mat.
Whether your child is naturally calm, full of energy, shy, sensitive, curious, or simply in need of a nurturing space to unwind and grow, they will find their place in these classes.
To Kids Yoga
In this Pilates class, we take the time to build strong foundations for the body while cultivating a sense of fluidity, stability, and inner balance. Through precise, mindful movements, we work deeply with the postural muscles to improve alignment, strengthen the core, and support a more natural, effortless posture in everyday life.
Little by little, the body becomes not only stronger, but also more mobile, lighter, and more at ease. Breath and movement flow together to create a practice that feels both energising and deeply grounding. Beyond physical strength, this class also helps calm the mind, release accumulated tension, and restore a sense of overall well-being.
The atmosphere is warm, peaceful, and welcoming. Everyone is encouraged to move at their own pace, with respect for their body and individual abilities, in an environment where you feel supported and uplifted. Whether you are completely new to Pilates or already familiar with mindful movement practices, this class will help you develop greater body awareness, stability, confidence, and ease in your movements.
This is a moment to reconnect with yourself, breathe deeply, restore your energy, and care for your body with intelligence and kindness.
Come and discover the joy of moving with strength, grace, and serenity… and give your body the attention it truly deserves.
To Pilates with Nina
For me, yoga is much more than movement — it is a way to reconnect with yourself, release tension, build strength, and find balance both physically and mentally.
My Vinyasa classes combine fluid movement, breath, energy, and mindfulness in a practice that is both dynamic and deeply grounding. Each class is designed to help you move with greater freedom, improve mobility and strength, while also creating space to slow down, reset, and reconnect inwardly.
I place great importance on creating an atmosphere that feels welcoming, supportive, and free of judgment, where everyone can practice at their own pace and feel comfortable exactly as they are.
Whether you are looking to strengthen your body, clear your mind, improve flexibility, relieve stress, or simply enjoy a moment fully dedicated to yourself, these classes offer a beautiful balance of challenge, flow, and well-being.
My intention is for you to leave each practice feeling more energized, centered, and connected — both in your body and in your everyday life.
I would be delighted to welcome you to class and share this practice with you.

To Pilates with Kristinka
I was born in Italy over 50 years ago where I spent a lot of time in the mountains in contact with nature. At the age of 16 I moved to Switzerland. For more than 20 years I worked in a multinational company, which allowed me to travel all over the world and to discover many different cultures, beliefs and habits. This period of my life was very rewarding but finding the balance between work and private life became a complicated task when I became a mother. That’s when I started practicing yoga. It was during the first Covid confinement that I decided to dedicate myself to the study and practice of yoga especially as it relates to women’s well being in the menopausal period. My frenetic lifestyle led me to enter menopause at the end of my 40 years with strong symptoms. Wanting to find a natural solution to relieve myself, I undertook studies in physiology, anatomy, nutrition and followed a specific training in hormonal yoga therapy for women. To this I added a Menopause yoga training which combines western medicine and eastern wellness in a holistic way to support women through the different stages of menopause.
Today my goal and passion is to contribute to the improvement of the quality of life of o ther women through the practice and benefits of menopause yoga and hormonal y oga. I am particularly interested in supporting women who are preparing for or e xperiencing menopause. Menopause can be an opportunity to improve our quality o f life and finally dedicate more time to ourselves. I hope you will join me on this j ourney and that we can experience the benefits together.

As a nature lover, I’ve always spent hours contemplating nature and using it as an element of rejuvenation and healing. After graduating from university, I swapped my ballet and running shoes for a fine mat on which I simply feel the sensation of contact with my bare feet, as my body embraces my soul. Yoga, pranayama, meditation, energy, Australia, Ibiza, India and Bali… places, moments, encounters, cultures and discoveries that never cease to thrill me and that I love to share.
Over the years, through experience and training, I’ve come to realize that nature isn’t just something external we look at, but that if I’m so touched by it, it’s because we’re intimately linked. My pregnancy and childbirth were revealing and highly healing moments. I learned to appreciate and honor feminine energy, Yin energy and Shakti energy. Since then, I’ve trained in prenatal and postnatal yoga, and in my role as doula, I accompany families on their journey towards a fully conscious and empowered birth.
As you can imagine, my yoga practices follow the vibrations of the seasons and lunar cycles, are dictated by the energies of the moment and are enriched by resources borrowed from the elements of nature. My credo: connect with your nature to rediscover your personal power.
I look forward to guiding you on the path to connecting with your deepest nature, and to helping you experience the joy of conscious movement through a gentle blend of my passions: nature, yoga, hypnosis, magic and energy.
I have been practicing yoga for over 30 years, and throughout that journey, my deepest intention has always been to make yoga truly accessible to everyone.
Over time, Ashtanga Yoga became an important foundation of my personal practice, teaching me the subtle connection between movement, breath, focus (drishti), and presence.
I hold a Master’s degree from the University of Geneva in Psychology and Educational Sciences, with a specialization in adult education, as well as a Yoga Alliance certification completed in Nyon. These experiences have deeply shaped my belief that yoga can — and should — adapt to each individual, regardless of age, mobility, or physical condition.
As part of the community at Accessible Yoga Founex, I currently assist Corinne in teaching Chair Yoga classes — a gentle, supportive, and highly accessible practice designed to help you move, breathe, strengthen the body, and regain mobility in a safe and comfortable way.
Chair Yoga is especially beneficial if you are looking to ease back into movement, maintain your independence, recover confidence in your body, or simply take time to care for yourself without having to get down onto the floor.
Classes are welcoming, warm, and encouraging, with plenty of attention given to each person’s individual needs and possibilities.
I would be delighted to welcome you to our Wednesday Chair Yoga class at 10:30 AM and to share this practice with you in a caring and supportive environment.
