A Heart-Led Team
At the heart of Yogaji Academy is a team who live and breathe a yoga that is alive, grounded, accessible and truly transformative.
We are passionate about sharing more than a method — we offer a way of being in the world, in connection with self, others, and nature.
Our trainings, retreats, and workshops are far more than knowledge transfers — they are spaces of inner exploration, often held in our ashram in Ardèche, a place of peace and renewal surrounded by nature.
There, between ancient stones and mountain air, every teaching becomes a living, breathing invitation to embody yoga fully.
