About Val

Our yoga instructor Val was born in 1977 from Colombian parents, in the French Guyana creole melting pot, a stretch of Amazonian forest between Brazil and Surinam. She mostly lives in India and Thailand. She studied tourism, languages and communication.

From Disney in Florida to the World Health Organization in Geneva she continuously added to her multicultural roots and it is this continuous blending that naturally brought her to Yoga, building a union link of everyone’s differences.

About Gaby

Our yoga instructor Gaby was born in France in 1961. He studied sciences and engineering, but love for nature and freedom made a nomad out of him. In 1987, he became a guide in the Sahara desert leading expeditions. Realizing how much suffering was present in the world, he dedicated the next 10 years to Karma Yoga working in conflict-afflicted areas. In 1997, the peaceful secret of Aikido offered a way out of violence and war and in 2001 he moved to India where he discovered Yoga and eastern philosophies. Since 2006 he has dedicated himself entirely to Yoga, Aikido and meditation.
