Yoga Chemin de Soi

Steps from the Promenade des Anglais, at 157 rue de France, Yoga Chemin de Soi offers a yoga approach found nowhere else in Nice — rigorously anchored in medical pedagogy and respect for physiology. The founder teaches according to Dr Bernadette de Gasquet's method — a French physician and yoga therapist who developed a yoga practice respecting the natural curves of the spine, preventing joint damage and adapting each posture to the anatomical reality of the body.

This yoga without damage approach — as she herself calls it — is particularly valuable for several populations: seniors, those suffering from back pain, women affected by breast cancer (yoga rose adapted to postural approach), and anyone who has experienced injuries or wishes to practise with maximum safety.

Disciplines Offered

Hatha yoga Dr de Gasquet method (yoga without damage), flow yoga, seniors yoga (capacity-adapted), back pain yoga, yoga rose (postnatal and post-breast cancer accompaniment), meditation, breathing. Summer offer: yoga in the sea, Poincaré beach. And a unique innovation: face yoga Sylvie Lefranc method — private sessions or small group workshops to release facial tension.

The Environment

The room is equipped with an air extractor and purifier — attention to sensitive individuals and breathing practices. Group sizes are deliberately small to guarantee personalised support. Varied hours are detailed on the teacher's website.

Pricing

Single class from €15. Class booklets and workshops available. Face yoga on request.

Guest Reviews

Highlights: The Dr de Gasquet medical approach is unanimously appreciated by those seeking safe yoga — particularly seniors and those with pathologies. Yoga rose is cited as a precious and rare resource for women who have experienced breast cancer. Small groups and personalised attention are the most frequent arguments. Summer sea yoga is regularly mentioned as an unforgettable experience.

Areas for improvement: Classes are less visible online than other studios. The address, though central, is less well-known than premium studios. Hours can vary by season.

Overall: Yoga Chemin de Soi is the most precious address for anyone seeking therapeutic, safe yoga adapted to specific needs — a unique and necessary approach in Nice's yoga landscape.
