Mathias launches Edelweiss Yoga Chalet in 2020. After discovering Yoga seven years ago while living a corporate life and as an amateur athlete. Mathias dives into Yoga practicing thanks to Maud Chuffart , who’s teaching led him to practice Hatha Yoga, Ashtanga, Vinyasa, Yoga Nidra & Meditation. Experiencing many styles, teachers and influences, He offered himself a chance for a complete change.
Having experience loss and a rather difficult period, Mathias focuses on moving forward and inward. He uses this time of suffering and doubts to initiate a change throughout Yoga and some travel adventures.
Mathias bought a one way ticket to Goa and booked a Yoga teacher training to deepen his practice. After living a life changing experience, being graduated in Ashtanga, Vinyasa and Pranayama and seven month of travels, teaching and sharing, the idea of building a yoga retreat in Chamonix became crystal clear.
Settling down to Chamonix Mt Blanc where his heart and family roots belong was a natural choice and his path towards a balanced life.
Mathias loves practising and teaching in magic “spots”, he naturally teaches with his heart and all in music.

Welcome to Edelweiss!
Take a step back from your busy schedule to rest & reset. Relax, enjoy, and use this retreat to soak up the Magical vibes that this Valley has to offer.
Yoga means “to bind”, “to unite”. This centuries-old discipline connects body and mind, people to each other and people to their environment. Because we are all connected to each other but also to nature, we have curated this format of Yoga Holidays combining Yoga and hiking as an opportunity to anchor in the beauty and the force of nature and connect us to the sacred, to the most sacred space there is, our own body. We will share both dynamic and restorative yoga classes to apprehend and activate our subtle energies, silent walks in nature to create states of consciousness inviting new experiences, pranayama practices to calm the mind and regenerate our immune system. We warmly welcome you in our magnificent yoga chalet at the foot of the highest peaks of the Alps. An opportunity to take the time to be silent. Contemplate. To receive.

In Chamonix there is a lot to explore in your free time, some of the activity options include hiking, climbing, and visiting the local market on Saturday.

Accommodation
Surrounded by nature and overlooking Mont Blanc and it’s famous peaks, Edelweiss Yoga Chalet is warm, welcoming, and timeless. The chalet continues to write its own story as time goes on. Initially a typical local house, we had a vision of a chalet that could fit perfectly in its environment. On the exterior, the chalet displays a seamless extension which is crafted from Meleze, a beautiful local wood in keeping with Edelweiss being a true Alpine Chalet. The interior design reflects a deep connection to nature and the alpine culture, brimming with wood. The living room itself is a time warp, bursting with history, memories, and curious objects. Photographs of legendary climbers in the Himalayas decorate the walls which echo a connection with Nepal, Tibet and Buddhist Spirituality. A welcoming atmosphere has always been central in the chalet ensuring that anybody who visits is made to feel right at home. We are grateful to share this wonderful space with anyone who is seeking some time to disconnect from their daily routine and/or to reconnect with themselves.
