    "I have been studying Yoga at HIA since 2017. This Yoga school has become a sanctuary for me, where I can regularly practice this discipline that is close to my heart. In particular, what I liked is that they teach classical yoga derived from hatha yoga, Marrying the principles of the 8 limbs of yoga, from the Sutras of Patanjali. They are complete theoretical and practical courses, studied to give an enriching experience in the world of Yoga, so essential for a yoga training."

    "J’étudie le Yoga au HIA depuis l’année 2017. Cette école de Yoga est devenue un sanctuaire pour moi, où je peux pratiquer régulièrement cette discipline qui me tient à cœur. Tout particulièrement, ce qui m’a plu, c’est qu’ils y enseignent du Yoga classique dérivée du hatha yoga, épousant les principes des 8 étapes du Yoga, provenant des Sutras de Patanjali. Ce sont des cours complets théoriques et pratiques, étudiés pour donner une expérience enrichissante dans le monde du Yoga, tellement essentiel pour une formation de yoga."
