Nestled in the heart of the 20th arrondissement, right next to the Jourdain metro station (line 11), is At Aûm. Sophie, its founder (with her husband Pierre), talks about it as a "holistic place to live" but above all, as a "yoga studio above all". Indeed, there is no shortage of yoga classes in this place where body and mind are taken care of, between the gong baths, the classes taught and the 100% organic and homemade menu.
The project was born in 2021, when Sophie left her 20-year career at Air France to set up the project with Pierre. Between the two of them, they bought the old dry cleaner's where Pierre used to work and renovated it from A to Z. At the center of the project, there is Sophie's desire to create a yoga studio in the neighborhood, and then, very quickly, she adds sono-therapy, a therapy using the sound of gongs that she practices regularly. "The concept is to eat well and vibrate well", she admits.
Eating well is what we do with the meal plan, which offers lasagna or a veggie burger prepared by David, the chef at Cantine Primeur, a restaurant in the 20th arrondissement, or lentil dahl and vegetarian couscous by Sarah, another chef. All the products used are organic and the majority come from local producers. The menu and its recipes are even adapted according to the fruits and vegetables in season. The same goes for the coffee shop, where you can find homemade cakes, detox juices prepared at the minute and comforting hot drinks.
To feel good, you can experience the different yoga classes that the studio offers. Kundalini yoga with Céline, hatha yoga, yin yoga... The choice is wide and there is one almost every day. Otherwise, the vibrations are also felt very well with the gong baths that Sophie proposes. She has trained in sound therapy and with Charlotte, another sound therapist, they offer several one-hour sessions each week to feel the vibrations of our body and relax in a rather impressive way.
So, in April 2022, At Aûm opened to the general public and since then, the place has not stopped growing. We come here to enjoy a yoga class, the super soothingcocooning atmosphere, thecoworking space and the warm ambiance. At the service, we count Sophie and Louna, who welcomes you and serves you coffees, juices and cakes with her big smile. On the menu, we loved the super vitaminized detox juice squeezed in front of your eyes with fresh fruits, the Golden Latte with oat milk (cow milk also available) and the chocolate-peanut butter fondant. A new must in the 20th district where you can come to brunch with family, friends or have a healthy snack and breakfast.
The place also offers a few grocery shelves with fruits and vegetables, organic preserves and a whole collection of wines without sulfites produced in a cellar in Pigalle. By the way, yoga classes and gong baths are also available as gift vouchers, if you wish to offer the experience to a loved one!
