Yesterday morning I took my first class at Le Studyo. It was a Hatha Yoga class with the amazing…read moreFlorence. The studio is luminous and spacious. There are doors that open to a courtyard below and the balcony is covered in grape vines, and the branches of verdant trees can be seen in the distance. The wood floors are inviting and the studio is impeccably clean. Although I brought my own yoga mat, the studio did have mats for students to use.
Florence's class was slow paced and she emanates calmness and her voice is tranquil. We did not exceed four repetitions of each asana, but I tell you the work is deep! I am sore in different joints of my body, a day after the class. It's the good kind of sore that reminds you that you've done right by your body.
Florence was very kind and patient with me when she realized that French is not my first language. She discreetly approached me and asked if it would be better for her to say some things in English instead. We worked it out. She conducted the class mostly in French and from time to time, if I looked lost, she would translate for me.
I am grateful to Le Studyo for offering a promotional deal in the month of September - you can take your first class for only 5 Euros. It's hard to say no to a deal like that!
On another note, Le Studyo is located in walking distance to the Castellane metro station and when class ended the daily market was still in full swing.
Merci Florence et merci Le Studyo.
