Testimonials

I had an incredible weekend, a thousand thanks to Estelle and Laurence, a real discovery, I took some time for myself and I made a lot of progress in yoga. I loved this experience and I highly recommend taking the time to do this kind of yoga retreat! Thank you again

Thanks to your clear and free framework and your diversified programme, I was able to experience some very precious moments that will leave an indelible mark on me. I was touched by your warmth, transparency and humility. I felt a coherence, an alignment between your words and your actions. Your authenticity allowed me to be authentic. Thank you so much!

Estelle and Laurence are the perfect combination of yin and yang. I felt my whole body moving with the hatha yoga given by Estelle - what energy! And I was totally relaxed, guided by Laurence's voice during the yin and restorative yoga. It was an interlude in slow motion, away from my 200km/h family life. Thank you <3

A wonderful weekend to discover the different practices of Yin & Yang yoga, relax and enjoy the cuisine at Beau-Site. Estelle & Laurence are so complementary in their teaching and so kind to us, we had a wonderful weekend with them!

It was my first yoga retreat and certainly not my last. Everything was perfect, from the practice of the different types of yoga, the workshops and the extraordinary sound bath we were treated to. A big Namasté to Estelle and Laurence

Thank you so much for everything! It was a really great experience. Thank you for your availability and the quality of your teaching.

A retreat that combines dynamism and gentleness with a duo of experienced teachers with complementary skills. They guide us in understanding our physical, mental and spiritual bodies. The perfect place, the magic of these days of retreat, disconnection and self-care in an enveloping atmosphere to let go and recharge our batteries.

Estelle and Laurence, I particularly loved your teaching. You each have your own way of teaching and your own practice, and I loved the way they complemented each other. You have such a simple way of explaining things that everything becomes easy. Thank you BeauSite, it's like a big house, you feel so good there, you feel at home. The staff are fantastic and the food exceptional.

The course was excellent, and what's more, it was my first time, so everything flowed. Thank you for the good energy and the good vibes. I recommend 100% (5 stars)

Magnificent! (5 stars)

I really enjoyed this exploratory workshop, which enabled me to discover even more the many ways of achieving a relaxing position for a particular part of my body, and also strengthened my confidence in listening to my body. Thank you Laurence

I particularly loved... The morning practice, hatha flow and meditation, and the yin practice on Friday evening. The care taken in setting up the room and the cocooning atmosphere. The Auberge Beau Site is a charming haven of peace. Its yoga room, with its breathtaking views, is the perfect place to practise yoga. The meals are creative and generous. The staff are always available and helpful. A big THANK YOU for giving us the chance to experience these moments of total disconnection. Your welcome is gentle, warm and friendly. 

The venue was perfect, the room full of positive vibes. The good understanding between the two of you was also very pleasant and created a wonderful feeling of harmony and complementarity. I felt that there was enough guidance to allow me to settle down and enough moments of 'freedom'. The food was delicious. The moments of silence suited me perfectly. I thought the evening time was very well positioned to prepare for the night. I had the impression that the rhythm was just right. Simply thank you for this retreat, the word took on its full meaning in the gentleness and respect for one another.

I really enjoy Laurence's Yin Yoga workshops, which are a source of well-being and relaxation. The sessions, which are always renewed, are really professional and we have all the equipment at our disposal. The shop also offers a tasteful selection. I'd definitely recommend it!

Our bodies have innumerable possibilities for feeling good, relaxing and/or letting go - we just need to think about them! Thank you to Laurence for having thought of this workshop, an opportunity to refresh our memory and a very pleasant moment of sharing and exchange.

This Vapa Kaia treatment was like an internal journey. I loved the fact that several senses were stimulated at the same time, it was incredible. I enjoyed the instruments used, the smells and the acupressure massage on my back. The sound vibrations were very powerful, intense and very soothing for me!

Magnificent boutique dedicated to the world of yoga. Beautiful products, carefully selected by the owner, who offers very professional, personalised advice. Whether you're a yogi or not, I absolutely recommend a visit!

Never did restorative yoga before so I wanted to try it out. Not necessarily a workout but definitely a great and much needed de-stressing and relaxation session (Restorative Yoga)

Laurence, ever mindful of our well-being and full of resources, is now offering us the Vapa Kaia individual treatment. I let my mind, body and senses travel to the rhythm of sounds, vibrations, scents and pressure. In this brand new cocoon of softness at the bottom of the garden, with kindness, Laurence led me to deep relaxation and a moment of escape - I felt like I was experiencing the 4 seasons in the 4 corners of the world! Expert hands and, as always, kind words. My 1st experience of sonotherapy. So, like me, make a reservation and you'll want to come back. Thank you for everything!

First of all, the first yoga session was very welcoming, I immediately felt good and calm, which is why I decided to continue. Laurence does her work with a great deal of professionalism and a great deal of humour. The atmosphere is great and you feel good in her classes. I highly recommend attending a session. She has a good voice, very gentle and relaxing.

I wanted to try out Laurence's Vapa Kaia individual treatment. I first discovered the cocoon of "the hut at the bottom of the garden" where I immediately felt good. Then it was a journey full of sounds and vibrations, accompanied by pressure, more or less strong, which took me far, so far away, surrounded by all the kindness of Laurence. It was a sensory escape from time that did me a world of good.

This boutique yoga studio nestling in the heart of Carouge lives up to its name: a cosy, beautifully decorated nest where you can feel right at home! Laurence knows how to listen and advise her customers with kindness, and her choice of eco-responsible products is immediately appealing. She also runs Yin Yoga classes in her space at the back of the boutique, which is a must if you haven't heard of her! I'm delighted with the leggings she ordered for me, the colour is beautiful and everything arrived quickly. Thank you so much!

Wonderful class! Really nice stretching poses and relaxing atmosphere. I particularly enjoyed Laurence’s gentle tone which enabled me to release tension in my mind and body (Yin & Restorative yoga)

Had a wonderful class with Laurence, yin yoga with massage balls. I was my first time and I didn't know what to expect but Laurence was very kind to explain the concept of yin yoga with it's focus on deep relaxation, slow movement, breathing and letting go. After the class, I feel like I had an hour of both massage and meditation. Thanks you Laurence (Yin & Balles)

Laurence practises yoga in a gentle and very caring way 😉 Her online shop is also super pretty with quality products. I really recommend it

Good relaxing course. Also nice to have it in both languages (Restorative Yoga)

Very nice class. Restorative yoga is really relaxing and the teacher is great! (Restorative Yoga)

With 10 triple count words in "ion" in Scrabble we could suggest: gentle attentions, decompression, breathing and percussion, positions, relaxation, calm emotions, tastings, discussions and finally congratulations! Everything was perfect, to be repeated without moderation 🙂

Went to Wednesday Yin Yoga. Instructor voice is calming and gentle. Suitable for people who has stiff body n need some relax stretching. Rated 5/5 stars

Friday at Midday is a perfect Organization for such a schedule ! Perfect Time before the End of the week to benefit from the course (Yin & Restorative yoga)

Laurence is really passionate about yoga and meditation! Thank you for your warm welcome and your carefully chosen products. A beautiful shop to discover.

Super class. Only took me short time to manage use of rolling balls but almost immediate results (Myofascial Self-massage)

It's a very pleasant shop, where you're immediately made to feel welcome and the products are of very high quality, carefully selected by Laurence. She is also very helpful and available. I recommend that you take a look around, you're sure to find what you're looking for.

Laurence is great and I was very surprised by how effective the massage balls are (Myofascial Self-massage)

Super yoga shop first in Carouge and now online!

It was great! I left feeling very light (Myofascial self-massage)

My first yin yoga class and I've been won over! Very welcoming. Laurence listens and takes the time to explain things properly. I left feeling relaxed and lighter... I'll be back! (Yin & Restorative yoga)

It was great, just as gentle as I needed it to be! (Yin yoga)

Laurence, really top!!! (Yin yoga & Myofascial self-massage)

Very restorative practice, great for ending the week on Wellbeing (Yin & Restorative yoga)

Thank you for the nice roll & release workshop, Laurence! :) I am keen to join back again if you are teaching level 2 before you leave

Best yin yoga instructor ever. Wishing you the best, Laurence!

Before I started joining Laurence’s yin yoga classes, I was of the believe that the only way to reduce stress and find a balance is doing intensive workouts. But there was always missing something. It only took a few lessons with her to realise what a calming and soothing effect yin yoga has on me. She taught me how to better connect with me, my body and my mind. What I appreciate most (beside her great teaching skills) is her ability to treat everybody for what he/she is; an individual. She understands the different needs, capabilities but also physical limitation and always offers different option to do a pose (reminding us to listen to our body). I could not have had any better teacher than Laurence to start my “yin yoga journey”.

Fantastic class, very relaxing (Restorative Yoga)

The styles of yoga that Laurence offers are deeply healing for the body, and she is a wonderful, patient teacher. Working with her has been extremely helpful for my back pain. Thank you Laurence!

A great feeling! Laurence listens carefully and gives us a course that lives up to our expectations. Thank you 😉 (Myofascial Self-massage)

Great course, the teacher takes the time to explain and correct. Try it out if you have tension or knots (myofascial self-massage).

Stretching massages are very useful and appreciated by oblique muscles that are always a little stiff... (Yin & balls)

Very relaxing class with constant support from the teacher (Yin & Restorative yoga)

Stretching the adductors and abductors, which was welcome after the weekend's sport, which was more about contraction. Great meditation session half an hour before this Yin class and self-massage with balls, perfect for leaving feeling relaxed (Yin & Balls).

Very restorative practice, great for ending the week on Wellbeing (Yin & Restorative yoga)

Thanks for the wonderful class! I will check out your Tanderra class timing! I really love your class and your energy. Most relaxing yin yoga class I have ever attended. It's always great to find a yoga teacher who teaches with such passion :) .

Thanks a lot to Laurence, assertive yogi that took us for 75 minute in a world of relaxation and wellness with her warm voice and clear guidance. It was my first experience of Yin and I loved it. You will see me again!

Such an amazing class! The teacher is so professional and calm (Restorative Yoga)
