Frequently asked questions
What is the Atreya Abhyanga method?
It is an Ayurvedic massage method created by Atreya Smith that involves massaging mindfully, channelling vital energy (prana), and taking into account the doshas (Vata, Pitta, Kapha), each person’s constitution and imbalances.
How long does a treatment session last?
The first appointment lasts 2 hours (1h Ayurvedic assessment + 1h treatment). Following sessions last 1h or 1h30 depending on the package chosen, with a 15-minute conversation at the start of the session.
Do I need prior yoga experience to join a class?
No. Hatha yoga classes are open to all levels, including complete beginners. Classes take place in a small group of 6 people maximum for individualised guidance.
How is SWA different from other yoga centres in Paris?
SWA is an intimate studio, far from the bustle of big centres: a bright cocoon overlooking the sky and the rooftops of Paris, with wooden floors, soft light and home-like decor. Classes take place in a small group of 6 people maximum, in a friendly atmosphere, with personalised guidance and posture adjustments by the teacher so you progress gently. Sessions follow an evolving programme based on the “Yoga in Daily Life” method and always include relaxation, asanas and pranayama. High-end Chin Mudra equipment is provided (mat, block, strap, bolster, cushion). SWA also offers private classes and specialised classes for seniors, pregnant women, children with difficulties and people going through a long-term illness such as cancer.

How do I book a session?
For a yoga class, a WhatsApp message, text or email to 06 13 23 45 21 / swa.ayurveda@gmail.com is enough — just specify the day and time. For a consultation, massage or course of treatments, booking is done directly online via Calendly. For a retreat, simply get in touch with me.
What’s the difference between a consultation and an Ayurvedic treatment?
The consultation (1h, 80 €) is a conversation and observation session that identifies your doshas and gives you personalised nutrition and lifestyle advice, without massage. The Ayurvedic treatment is a wellness massage (Atreya Abhyanga) that works directly on the body to release tension and restore energy.
