MAXINE
MEET MAX
It’s hard to pinpoint exactly what makes Max so remarkable as a conduit of yoga. She’s an outlier, a rare one, somebody who doesn’t fit into any clearly defined box or label.
Instead, she delights in the spaces between, guiding you back to your own heart and body wisdom, opening the doors to greater self exploration through a blend of curiosity, play and intuitive movement.
While her knowledge and experience of yoga is undeniable, it is her devotion to living yoga that gets your attention. Without a shred of pretense, Max will conjure a space where you get to embody the journey of yoga – for you.
THE LOCATION
Set in a rich landscape of olive groves, vineyards, forests and orchards, the privately owned Maison 10 sits on a hill overlooking the ancient market town of Nyons – world famous for its olive oil. Just a short 15-minute walk into the local town, with its microclimate and exceptional air quality, Nyons is known locally as “little Nice”. The largely undiscovered area offers dramatic and spectacular mountainous landscapes and is very popular with yogis, cyclists, walkers and artists
