Your Hosts

Elise – Envie d’équilibre

Elise is a guide into balance — the kind that harmonizes body, mind and energy. Through yoga, nutrition, massage and energetic practices, she helps you reconnect with every dimension of yourself with care, clarity and intention.

Her approach weaves movement, spirituality and simplicity: yoga inspired by ancient traditions, the grounding of shamanic practices, and the vitality that comes from embracing your physical strength. With Elise, wellness isn’t something abstract — it’s something you feel in your body, your breath, your inner space.

She teaches with kindness, intuition and a deep respect for what makes each person unique. Her mission: to help you reconnect, slow down, realign and rise with renewed energy.

During this retreat, Elise invites you into her world — a space where physical, emotional and spiritual balance meet, and where every practice brings you closer to your true rhythm.
