An obvious collaboration
At NUMA HOUSE, a private villa dedicated to wellness and relaxation stays near Bordeaux, human connection lies at the heart of every experience. In this spirit, yoga naturally holds a meaningful place within the house, offering our guests a moment to reconnect with their body, their breath, and what truly matters.
Already a welcoming space for wellness professionals, NUMA HOUSE also offers private yoga sessions on request for guests during their stay.
Today, I am very pleased to introduce Martyna, our new yoga partner. An obvious collaboration.
A Cosmopolitan Spirit Shaping the Practice
Originally from Poland, Martyna settled in Bordeaux after living in London, where she met her long-term teacher, Stewart Gilchrist, at Indaba Studio in Marylebone, and discovered the Jivamukti and Rocket styles.
At the same time, she supported a community initiative, the Cake and Yoga Club, marking the beginning of her commitment to inclusive and accessible yoga.
Her European sensibility and cultural openness enrich each of her classes, echoing the DNA of NUMA HOUSE, a place shaped by travel and welcoming guests from around the world.
Teaching in Inspiring Spaces
Beyond her certifications — over 500 hours of training in Ashtanga, Vinyasa and Hatha yoga, as well as mobility and flexibility — Martyna also teaches in contemporary and design-led spaces in Bordeaux.
From these urban environments, she draws a vibrant energy that informs her modern approach, now integrated into the peaceful universe of NUMA HOUSE.
An Artistic Sensibility at the Heart of Movement
Martyna’s artistic background deeply shapes her teaching. A talented illustrator, she brings a refined attention to lines, balance and detail.
Her vision of movement is alive — a constant dialogue between breath, coordination, stability and body awareness. Each session becomes structured yet creative, precise yet fluid.
This thoughtful and sensitive approach perfectly reflects the experience we wish to offer: an warm, embodied form of yoga, never standardized.

A Body-Centered Approach to Yoga
Martyna develops a deeply adaptive way of teaching.
Here, there is no ideal posture to achieve.
No performance to demonstrate.
No single model to replicate.
Her approach is rooted in a strong conviction: every body is different, and yoga should adapt accordingly.
Each student is guided in discovering their own way of moving. This inclusive philosophy allows her to welcome both experienced practitioners and those discovering yoga for the very first time.
Yoga Flow & Hatha Yoga
Both styles share the same foundations: a mindful movement practice combined with conscious breathing, always respecting each person’s rhythm and abilities in order to cultivate strength, balance and flexibility.
Hatha Yoga offers a more grounded and structured practice, while Yoga Flow — rooted in traditional Vinyasa — emphasizes fluid, continuous sequences guided by the breath.
Together, these approaches invite a deep reconnection with the body and the present moment — something that takes on its full meaning when lived during a wellness stay at NUMA HOUSE.
Private Yoga Sessions on request
Private yoga sessions are available upon request, allowing our guests to practice directly within the privacy of their villa — on the terrace or in the garden whenever the weather allows — whether alone, as a couple, or with friends.
It is this combination of intimacy, open air and personalized guidance that defines the uniqueness and exclusivity of the yoga experience at NUMA HOUSE. These sessions offer guests a privileged and deeply restorative moment.
At NUMA HOUSE, yoga is seamlessly integrated into a complete experience designed to foster true reconnection:
- the serene comfort of a 5-star Villa
- beautifully landscaped garden
- swimming and sunbathing areas
- deep relaxation and restorative sleep
- hot oil massages in an exclusive annex
