Christophe Millet is the founder of ‘L’Ecole du Souffle’ (the Breathing School). Born in 1963, he has been practising sports since he was 7. He has practised sailing, fencing, stretching and swimming. He has been teaching yoga and giving massages since 1996. He has:

      » a diploma in the teaching of yoga from the French Yoga Federation (F.F.Y.) under Gérard Arnaud.
» a sports instructor certification (B.E.E.S. 1er degré)
» a traditional Indian massage certificate (ayurvedic abhyanga).

In 1996, he started suffering from rheumatoid spondylitis (a condition caused by the inflammation of the spine and sacroiliac joint). His doctors warned him that he would face reduced mobility in the future and that he would need to take anti- inflammatory medication. He also suffered from allergic rhinitis (his sinuses were regularly congested, his nose was runny or blocked and his eyes irritated). Refusing to accept the doctors’ prognosis and long-term medication, he had recovered his full physical capacities three years later.
He beat the two pathologies by a combination of yoga, stretching, working on the movement of the spine and rib cage expansion together with breathing exercises so much so that he no longer needed the anti-inflammatory and antihistamine treatments.

Today, he practises yoga everyday, swims twice a week (cardio-vascular work, endurance, breath holding) and regularly practises sports like surfing and wind-surfing. He regularly attends training seminars and courses with certification under renowned international teachers such as Sivananda and Iyengar schools in India, Dharma Mittra and Jivamukti in New York during his trips abroad.

He gives classes in socio-medical and hospital environments and also in a palliative care unit, teaching breathing techniques and body adjustment. He works with sportspeople, top athletes, dancers, musicians and actors.
