Alexandra Gallo

Her classes blend the fundamentals of the classical method with a contemporary approach, with particular attention to breathing, precision, strength and a deeper connection to the body.

Claire Savatte

Vinyasa Yoga, Hot Vinyasa

Through my Vinyasa yoga classes (including Hot Vinyasa), I invite you to dive into fluid, dynamic movements so rooted in the present moment that they become a kind of moving meditation. I love creating sessions where you feel both stronger and calmer, exploring every sensation with care. What am I most passionate about? Taking care of you and watching you progress and grow with every practice. Join me to sweat, push yourself and find that balance between strength and calm.

Danae Fressengeas

In class, she loves to challenge, motivate and create a unique collective energy. Her goal: to make you give it everything during the session, and leave with a smile.

Lida Canonne

Yoga’Pilates

I’m a joyful person who loves riding the waves of life. My classes are infused with spirituality, offering gentleness and comfort while keeping an advanced practice. I blend yoga with a few Pilates movements, encouraging you to experience the postures in your body rather than chase outward perfection. Every session is unique, just as every person is unique in every moment.
My favourite place: the banks of the Seine at sunset.
What I love at Chez Simone: the family spirit – a kind of enveloping love, with joy and good vibes all around.

Olivia Courbis

Vinyasa Yoga, Hot Sculpt

My motto: take sport seriously without taking yourself seriously! Take the time to come and sweat in a group class and share your energy to recharge with everyone else’s. Sweat, sculpt, shake, vibe…
Good to know about me: when I’m motivating you, I’m often motivating myself first!
My favourite spot in Paris: the woods with Serge!
Chez Simone for me: feeling at ease in every situation – a real safe place!

She focuses on the mind-body connection through breathing, concentration and control. Her classes favour slow, mindful movement for optimal effectiveness while reducing stress. A mum of two boys, she’s passionate about photography and cinema, and loves Italy, matcha lattes and the whole almond butter she eats by the kilo.

Orianne

Barre Sculpt

My classes are like me: structured, hybrid (I mix several disciplines) and sometimes a little crazy! In my Barre Sculpt classes I stay true to the fundamentals of Pilates (especially breathing) and barre (precise postures).

What I love most at Chez Simone: feeling at home – and I adore the students! (especially mine, haha).

Pierre Glaçon

Adrénaline, HYROX, 100% RENFO

My favourite place in Paris: Chez Janou, the temple of pastis.

Vincent Etchebers

Adrénaline, HYROX, 100% RENFO

Generosity and optimism are my two guiding principles. I’m a huge sports fan, especially of US sports, and I basically live on transatlantic time. My second passion is food, sweet or savoury – nothing makes me happier!
My guilty pleasure: an energy drink that gives you wings.
What I love most at Chez Simone: the Atelier, of course, and the little pre-training chats with my colleagues.
