Mathilde, a passionate yoga and mobility teacher

My name is Mathilde and I have been a yoga and functional mobility teacher for almost two years. I give both group and individual lessons, mainly in Saint-Aubin-de-Médoc, a small town near Bordeaux.

I teach a gentle practice, inspired by Hatha yoga, a traditional yoga adapted for beginners. To this, I add functional mobility work. In short, these are exercises focused on muscle and joint stretching, combining strength and flexibility. Sometimes, I use props to go further in the movements and gain amplitude.
I haven’t invented anything, but I integrate mobility – often called stretching – into yoga to support my students with different needs, whether it’s improving their posture, their flexibility or relieving certain tensions.

I obtained a 200-hour certification to teach yoga. Then, I took a specialized training course in functional mobility to deepen my knowledge and offer more comprehensive support.

Discovering yoga teaching is one of them, because it was never a change of career for me, but my first professional venture. I started my own business at the age of 24, and two years later, I still love it. Starting your career with a job you love is a chance, and a milestone in my life.
Another highlight was my first workshops focused on mobility. I wanted to attract people who were curious and intrigued by this approach. It was really satisfying to see that the participants enjoyed it and came back.

Yes! I like the way different physical activities complement each other. As well as yoga, I do cross-training, pole dancing and a bit of running. For the time being, that’s enough for me!
