Margot Gaudé

Originally from the southwest of France, my yoga journey began at 16 when meditation opened the door to self-discovery and inner calm. Over the past six years, I have explored Vinyasa, Hatha, Ashtanga, and Yin Yoga, always integrating breath and meditation.

 

In 2021, I trained as a Hatha and Vinyasa teacher at Yoga For Life Institute Marbella with Maribel, a transformative experience that aligned me with my true self. This year, I continued my studies at BSMT Yoga in Madrid with Borja Sainz and Tamara Suárez, deepening my knowledge in biomechanics and the energetic benefits of practice.

 

My classes invite connection of body, mind, and breath through creative, flowing sequences that encourage exploration, awareness, and transformation.
