The word ATHA means ‘starting now’. It is the first word of the first verse in the yoga Sutras of Patanjali, one of the founding texts of modern yoga. Starting now your life starts, Right now, not later, not yesterday, right now.

“Registered without knowing Gwen's teaching, I was absolutely won over by her method, which is challenging, gentle, joyful and extremely creative! Gwen is very inked and fair, I can't wait to be part of a next retreat or yoga class in Paris!” anonymous (Mexico)

"I had an incredible retreat filled with the sweetness and good vibes of Gwen and Alex. The yoga practices, the amazing place where we slept, the meals, the organization... nothing to complain about. Everything was perfect. I can't wait to go back. Thank you for everything!" - Camille (Morocco)

Atha retreats in Tuscany was truly magical, profoundly nourishing. The house we stayed in was beautiful, with a stunning view of the Tuscan mountains and endless blue skies above us. The two daily practices, to the sound of bird songs, enabled me to reconnect and deepen my own yoga practice, in the supportive and judgement free environment created by both Gwen and Alex’s teaching. A highlight of the retreat for me was the incredible food Marine prepared for us, and the beautiful conversations shared around the dinner table. I left feeling held, rested, and very grateful!
