Wellness Sessions

As part of a healthy program, we will offer some free stretching sessions early in the morning before the workshops and plenary sessions begin. The pilates teacher, Marie-Hélène Venne, will be happy to start the morning with you.

A biologist by training with a lifelong passion for the human body, Marie-Hélène discovered Pilates more than fifteen years ago. As a certified instructor since 2012, she completed the Polestar Studio training program (350 hours) and has taken more than 300 hours of specialized training with recognized organizations such as Polestar, Pilates Anytime, Ann McMillan Pilates, Balanced Body, Ataraxia, Trigger Point, Metafit, AIR Yogalates, TRX Yoga, and Rehab-U. For Marie-Hélène, Pilates is a true passion and a tool for transformation. Inspired by Joseph Pilates’ philosophy - “In 10 sessions, you’ll feel the difference; in 20, you’ll see it; and in 30, you’ll be different” - she does everything she can to convey this approach with rigor, kindness, and enthusiasm. Seeing her students’ progress over the course of their sessions is a constant source of motivation for her.
