Baptiste has a background in kinetic body movement (it runs in his family!) he's been practicing yoga for 40 years having learnt with David Williams and Danny Paradise. He went on to study with Patthabi Jois in India and spent 7 years in Asia studying ancient cultures and oriental philosophy. The themes of Baptiste's workshops explore yoga as an alchemical science of transformation, an art of living, and the deep connections with shamanism and nature.
He is a natural storyteller and recounts the myths associated with asanas; he introduces pranayama as a path to meditation; teaches without dogma and emphasises the potential of yoga to find balance and inner peace.

He has spent his life travelling the world, and is currently based in the French Pyrenees.
