Ethical and inclusif Yoga
Yoga sometimes suffers from a smooth, instagram image of young women, thin and flexible, performing advanced postures in dreamy settings. Unfortunately, this representation may give the impression that yoga is not accessible to everyone...
At Mat&More – Mo’orea, we have chosen to keep only the last aspect: practicing in an exceptional setting, while making yoga accessible to everyone, regardless of age, gender or physical condition.
Cindy is proud to offer courses open to all, where we practice with kindness, without pressure of performance or aesthetic criteria. Here, yoga is above all a space for well-being, self-discovery and evolution at your own pace.
Whether you are a beginner or an experienced, looking to strengthen your body, improve your flexibility or simply to have some time for yourself, you are welcome.
Come as you are, and let yoga do you good!
Mo'orea, the most beautiful studio
Why limit ourselves to four walls when nature itself offers the most beautiful settings for practicing yoga? At Mo'orea, each session becomes an immersion in the heart of a true natural paradise.
​
As soon as the weather permits, classes are held outdoors, allowing you to fully enjoy the beauty and unique energy of the island. Imagine... practice your Vinyasa facing the ocean, feel the softness of the sand under your feet, or let yourself be rocked by the rustling of leaves in the mountains: an inspiring setting for a unique practice.
Discover the benefits of practicing yoga outdoors. It’s much more than a simple decor but a sensory and revitalizing experience: breathe the sea air, feel the sun warm your skin, listen to the singing of birds or the soft clatter of waves... All these elements enrich the practice and allow a deep connection with oneself and with nature. Whether on a sandy beach, at the top of a gazebo offering breathtaking views or in a lush tropical garden, Mo'orea becomes your open-air yoga studio, where each session is a new discovery.
Come and feel the magic of yoga in the middle of nature and let yourself be carried by the unique energy of Mo'orea!
Yoga, at the service of our island
Yoga is much more than a simple physical practice: it is a true philosophy of life that guides us towards harmony in oneself and with one’s environment. If on the mat we work flexibility, strength and breathing, Yoga also invites us to apply its principles in our daily life, in our way of living, interacting with others and taking care of our planet. It is our sadhana.
​
It is in this spirit that Cindy wishes to share her Yoga practice, fully integrating it into local life. Based in Mo'orea since 2018, she was warmly welcomed by its inhabitants and, in return, wishes to put Yoga at the service of the community.
It regularly organises free or donation-based sessions and special events for local associations and citizens' initiatives, in order to support important causes for the island and its inhabitants. These events are an opportunity to meet new people, exchange and recharge together in a spirit of solidarity and sharing.
Why "Mat&More" ?
The "mat" parts is easy to understand for English speakers !
“& more” refers to all the accessories encountered in yoga classes (block, straps, etc.) and in Yoga'sculpt (balls, elastics, etc.), but also to Cindy’s mania to wear several caps! Yoga teacher, dancer, volunteers in several associations, marine biologist (and now mom!)
This “mat & more” is also there to remind us that yoga is not only practiced on the mat but each and every day, at any time of the day! The capacity of observation, attention and consciousness that we develop on our mat helps us to
take a step back in everything we go through in life
to be able to manage all this more consciously, more
precisely and more serenely.
