Chez Cameil : Food, Yoga and Wellness

<p>It has been&nbsp;my dream&nbsp;to create a friendly place, in Paris, where everyone feels free to take care of their well-being (thanks to yoga, community&nbsp;and a healthy diet), but also to share their ideas, emotions and desires. The goal is to create a community with a family atmosphere, so that people gather in a place where they feel &quot;at home&quot; and take the time to rest, refresh their minds and grow. This space is open to all and is collaborative.&nbsp;</p> <p><br /> <br /> <strong>Who is this space for?</strong></p> <p><br /> - Yogis, those who already practice yoga and love it. For them, yoga is not just a sport but a philosophy of life. They wish to deepen their practice, discover new related subjects like Ayurveda*,&nbsp;and integrate yoga into their daily lives. This new space will become their favorite place to learn and practice.</p> <p><em>*Ayurveda is one of the world&#39;s oldest holistic (&ldquo;whole-body&rdquo;) healing systems. It was developed more than 3,000 years ago in India. It&#39;s based on the belief that health and wellness depend on a delicate balance between the mind, body, and spirit.</em></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><img alt="" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/530944/PUJA-1530916022.jpg" width="100%" /></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>- New Yogis, that&nbsp;have heard about Yoga from there friends or read an interesting article about it and want to discover what it&#39;s all about.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><img alt="" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/530959/8c204e92eaa824065e3575512f2efce7-1530917805.jpg" width="100%" /></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>- Non Yogis, people interested in maintaining a healthy lifestyle&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><img alt="" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/530960/bc2c323c2597947c213e10eb355809e8-1530918532.jpg" width="100%" /></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>- People interested in becoming a part of a small community</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><img alt="" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/530658/yoga_girls-1530788895.jpg" width="100%" /><br /> &nbsp;<br /> - Pregnant women and young mothers.
