Instructeurs
Nina Briot
With a playful and joyful approach, Nina likes to invite people to step beyond their comfort zones, both on and off the mat. Her sessions blend invigorating and dynamic flows with gentleness of yin, flexibility and connective tissue release exercises. While her roots lie in traditional Hatha yoga, following the lineage of Swami Sivananda, her journey led her to explore a myriad of styles, weaving together ancient practices such as Ashtanga and Hatha with newer forms like Embodiment, Yin and Aerial yoga. Additionally, Nina incorporates contemporary myofascial release and mobility techniques.
