Yoga in Aix-en-Provence for English speakers
You've just moved to Aix, you're studying here for a semester, or you're spending some time in Provence, and you'd like to keep up your yoga practice — but your French isn't quite there yet. At Chiara Yoga Aix, English speakers are warmly welcome: Chiara speaks fluent English and makes sure you can follow the class comfortably.
Classes in French, guidance in English
Group classes are taught in French: it is the language Chiara trained and teaches in, and it keeps the class flowing for everyone. You don't need to speak French to join, though.
When you arrive, Chiara welcomes you in English, asks about your experience and any injuries, and explains how the class will unfold. During the practice she gives you individual cues and posture adjustments in English, directly to you, so you always know what to do and how to do it safely.
Chiara demonstrates the postures and the sequences are easy to follow by watching. English-speaking students who have joined so far have followed the classes without difficulty — and many enjoy picking up a little yoga vocabulary in French along the way.
The classes
Chiara teaches Vinyasa, Power Yoga, Hatha Yoga and Yin Yoga, from dynamic flows to slow, grounding practices. Classes last 75 minutes and take place in small groups of 12 people at most, so Chiara can follow each student closely.
Every posture is offered with variations, from the most accessible to the most challenging: beginners are welcome, and you choose what suits your body on the day.
Booking
You can book online on this site, which is available in English: use the language selector at the top of the page. Your first class is a trial class at €10, with no commitment.
If you have a question before coming, you can write to Chiara on WhatsApp or by email — in English, of course.
