Yoga in Harmony
At Harmony fitness clubs in Switzerland, yoga plays a key role, emphasizing the importance of holistic health. Yoga, with its ancient roots, offers a balanced approach to body and mind. Meditative practices and physical postures promote flexibility, strength and inner peace. In a hectic urban landscape, yoga becomes a refuge for mental well-being, improving resilience in the face of daily stress. The dynamic community of Harmony clubs integrates this discipline, enabling members to cultivate physical and mental harmony, reinforcing their commitment to a healthy, balanced life.

Rémi, from gloves to bodybuilding to photography...
"Portrait of the Month. Our goal is to celebrate the exceptional individuals who make Harmony a place where People are at the heart of our daily lives. Each month, we'll share with you an insightful introduction to one of our dedicated people, highlighting their journey, their achievements and what makes them unique. We firmly believe that for every success story there is an inspirational person, and we look forward to introducing you to the faces that help make our company shine. This month, we asked Rémi to tell us about himself.
Who am I?
Hello, I'm Rémi, born in Geneva in 1970. My career path is marked by an early passion for martial arts, unshakeable determination and multidisciplinary expertise developed over decades of commitment. My real revelation came at the age of 15, when I discovered Thai Boxing, a passion that has since shaped my life for almost 39 years.
What's my background?
Having spent part of my youth training in Thailand, my sporting career was unfortunately interrupted in 1998 due to injury. However, rather than give in to discouragement, I chose to turn this ordeal into an opportunity to share my passion and expertise. With a view to enriching my skills as a trainer, I obtained a diploma in nutrition and took a course in anatomical morphology. At the same time, photography has become a passion and a professional skill that I've been cultivating for a decade. Combining creativity and technical skill, this practice enriches my daily life.
PRACTICAL INFORMATION
Where can you find me?
Despite a slight health setback, I'll be back in April at MAA by Harmony, where I give Thai Boxing classes on:
Mondays from 7:30 to 9:00 p.m.
Tuesdays from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. and from 7:30 to 9:00 p.m.
Thursdays from 7:30 to 9:00 p.m.
