Shaya & Lena
Lena
Massage, Yoga & Breathwork
My name is Lena, I’m 36 years old, and I’m passionate about creating transformative and meaningful experiences. The most rewarding part of my work is witnessing people release their burdens, rediscover inner peace, and embrace self-acceptance. My greatest joy is seeing the gentle smile on their faces as they leave, lighter, more self-connected, and renewed with joy for life.
Discovering the Body
Ten years ago, after deeply immersing myself in the study of literature, art history, philosophy, and anthropology, I discovered the profound significance of the body. My mind had asked many questions, and my body found answers. AAs someone who once felt shy and disconnected from my physical self, various bodywork practices brought me deep therapeutic healing. My yoga journey, which began at 18, has since been transformed by these insights into the body’s wisdom.
Massage and Professional Growth
Around this same time, I began exploring massage in a personal growth-oriented environment. These experiences became my most valuable lessons, sharpening my intuition and sensitivity. I later deepened my expertise through professional training in yoga, meditation, breathwork, and both classic and Ayurvedic massage techniques. More recently, I expanded my skills as a masseuse and yoga instructor at the renowned Sonnhof Ayurveda Resort in Austria, one of Europe’s leading wellness centers.
Finding a New Home
Born in Tajikistan and raised in Germany, I found my new home in France. In 2020, together with 10 friends, I embarked on the adventure of living in a collective. We found our paradise “Lascomères” on a magnificent land in Cassagnabère-Tournas, surrounded by oak trees and close to nature. Here, O Chêne was created, a sanctuary where people can find peace, reconnect with themselves, and experience massages, yoga, and retreats in a deeply nurturing environment.
Commitment to Your Well-being
My deep commitment is to guide your awareness through the ocean of your being. I believe in the power of intuition and strive to enhance your ability to recognize what is beneficial for your body, mind, and soul.
With love for life,
Lena
Shaya
Yoga & music
My name is Shaya, and I am a yoga practitioner and facilitator. I love sharing my practice with others. I currently split my time between Iran, France, and Estonia. No matter where I am, I enjoy organizing yoga workshops and retreats.
O Chêne is a welcoming place where we share our love for the beauties of life. We hold hands to listen to our breaths like the gentle waves of the ocean and our dancing steps among the oaks.
My Story
I discovered yoga by starting with the asanas of Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga in 2015, and since then, I have never stopped enriching myself. I try different forms of practice and attend various yoga teacher training courses, hoping to facilitate this beautiful journey for others.
My Approach
For me, yoga is a beautiful path to the well-being. It is a vast world where everyone can find their place and what interests them. My yoga classes are flexible and adapted to each person’s needs. The important thing is to be there, present for yourself, your body, and your mind, and to take time to give yourself love.
I hope to see you at O Chêne !
