”Colette’s group classes have become a cruicial part of my life. She always gives options in class so I can tailor the workout. For instance if I need to take it a bit easier after a big session on the bike or if I need to work hard when I’m focusing on a big event like an Ironman. The Fusion classes have had an amazing effect on strengthening my core and I’ve seen significant improvements to my run and bike performance! ” Claire, Nice
Fusion
Total body fitness by combining Kick-Boxing, Super Sets and Yoga. This class is for everyone, no prior experience is necessary in kick-boxing or yoga. Super Sets incorporate bursts of challenging cardio kick-boxing with a sequence of strength and core exercises. Performed in the right order and in the right way, these classes tone, define and sculpt the body. Jab, Cross and Side-Kicks are some of the basics you will learn in bursts of shadow kick-boxing as well as self defense moves. Classes end with a few simple yoga movements that stretch and relax the body so you recover rapidly.
“When I started yoga classes with Colette I was surprised tat he amount of yoga I really didn’t know or understand. I had participated in numerous yoga classes in the past, however, Colette has an amazing way of explaining exactly how each posture should look and feel while allowing the class to flow easily. I also love the fact she can cater for all levels in the one class. I also have to say, the locations in Hi Hotel and Hi Beach have to be one of the most peaceful and beautiful places to practice in the Cote d’Azur. Thanks again Colette, for making yoga a part of my life.” Sheila, Nice
Form & Flow Yoga
Yoga is for everybody, not just the flexible or spiritual. Form and Flow Yoga concentrates on the stretch and strength elements of Yoga with a few minutes at the end for relaxation. Those who try Yoga for the first time with Colette are surprised at how challenging it is. The benefits of Yoga are important for the stresses modern living places upon our bodies. Yoga develops a strong back and posture, important for those who regularly sit at a desk, travel, drive or have a child regularly perched on one hip. Yoga helps create long lean lines to your body for those who simply wish to slim down and tone. For anyone exercising regularly Yoga keeps muscles supple to prevent injury and ensuring rapid recover for your next session.
Open to all levels, men and women will feel at home in ‘Form and Flow Yoga’ with options for beginner, intermediate and advanced levels. No-one will feel out of their depth or not challenged enough. Colette explains and encourages how to find correct postures and provides individual modifications. A calming yet challenging set of movements will ensure you become stronger and more flexible.
For those who know their Yoga – Colette teaches from the classical Ashtanga and Iyengar traditions. Using the flow of Ashtanga to warm the body and holding postures with great attention to alignment – a signature of the Iyengar teachings. Colette has fairly small classes giving her time to provide individual attention during the class therefore regularly attending these classes, of which there are 3 per week, will see rapid improvements in your ability.
Super Set Saturdays
“Yoga is a great way to stretch after riding, or to help core strength – both in winter and summer, it adds a new dimension to training. Colette guides you through the class with confidence and knowledge, improving posture and helps to push me that little further. Always a great atmosphere at class – which definitely helps to make you want to go back!” Anton, Nice
For those with busy lives and a determination to get fitter, this is the class for you. Asking your body to perform very different exercises in the same class means your body works harder.

The second hour is a Flow and Form Yoga class concentrating on strength and stretching. It doesn’t matter if you have no experience at all in Kick-boxing or Yoga; this special class is for everyone regardless of fitness level or experience. Beginners will enjoy the easy-to-pick-up shadow kick-boxing movements and the strength and suppleness that yoga delivers. Those with more experience can concentrate on accuracy and perfecting and strengthening the combinations and exercises. Start your weekend putting yourself and your body first.
Riviera Run Club
“After attending some of the Fusion classes organised by Colette, I noticed a marked improvement in my stamina while out running. I am a keen and seasoned runner who has suffered from a few injuries in past years, but Colette’s focus on building core strength has helped to deal with some of these issues. I’d definitely recommend both her fitness and yoga classes to other runners who need to improve their core strength and flexibility.” Anne, Nice
Colette decided to start the Riviera Run Club after talking with several of her clients about their fitness goals. She discovered that many of them want to compete in running events, however, they didn’t know where to begin. Colette has put together running programmes for the absolute beginner to the more experienced runner. Running alone can be boring, so this club will make this a more social and appealing event providing collective support and motivation.
