Welcome
Mehernaaz DAMANIA
I am Mehernaaz DAMANIA, certified and accredited Hatha Yoga teacher, Back & Neck Specialist and Fitness Coach. My journey in Lausanne started about 12 years ago from my home town Mumbai, in India.
A warm welcome to my website, where you will find information on individual coaching, small group classes and corporate offers.
My centre “WELLNESS LAUSANNE” provides physical, mental and emotional wellbeing to my clients/patients through Hatha Yoga classes, prevention and treatment of back & neck pain and dysfunctions related to poor posture as well as classes for strengthening / toning, stretching and mobilizing muscles.
Exercise and lifestyle modifications, BOTH, are always advised to clients/patients for treatment, wellbeing, fitness, or prevention.
I am privileged to be accredited by ASCA and RME in Switzerland, for Hatha Yoga.

Classes
Back & Neck
A tailor-made exercise program and lifestyle modifications is all you need to strengthen your back and get back to normal life.
3 step solution:
1. DETAILED ASSESSMENT of medical history & orthopaedic tests
2. A HOLISTIC APPROACH – nature of work, stress levels, physical activity, gastrointestinal inflammation, menstrual cycle, posture & sleep habits are discussed. Work ergonomics, movement, lifting habits & nutrition guidelines are provided
3. A TAILOR-MADE EXERCISE PROGRAM – Based on step 1 and 2, a program is prepared and the exercises are taught, in order to improve the patient’s/client’s flexibility, stability and strength and work towards a stronger and pain-free back.
Hatha Yoga
Of Indian origin, Mehernaaz has 25 years of experience teaching Hatha Yoga (14 years in Mumbai & 11 years in Lausanne).
She is accredited by ASCA (Swiss Foundation for Complementary Medicines) & RME (Registry of Empirical Medicine) in the discipline of Hatha Yoga.
Hatha Yoga is a science of the body and mind, making it a complete practise, much required in today’s lives where we are constantly challenged physically and mentally.
Her approach is to choose practices, to suit the medical conditions, results of the tests, needs & goals of her clients – during her private and group classes. Each participant is corrected individually, even in group classes.
Body Toning
Individuals have different body structures, postures and goals, therefore a Tailor-made body toning program will give best results and avoid injuries.
To tone the muscles of her clients:
1. Mehernaaz understands her client’s needs, goals and medical history
2. Performs orthopaedic tests with posture assessment
3. Then combines Weight and Resistance training, Swiss Ball and Medicinal Ball training, Foam Rollers, Roller Grids and Free-hand exercises to create a functional exercise program
THE FOCUS – Is to give Flexibility and Core training priority. Strength building is next, after sufficient flexibility and stability is achieved by the client. Thus, the foundation of the physical body becomes strong and flexible, and the body can now welcome strengthening of the other muscle groups. This is the most scientific way of toning one’s muscles and avoiding future injuries.

“A great professional who uses methods adapted to each person and to the pain corresponding to each participant. Moreover her pleasant personality generates a privileged moment of serenity in both the yoga class and other classes offered by her. The softness of her gestures while correcting our postures shows her perfect efficacy.”
Maryline Rouland, Elégance – Immobilier M. Rouland SARL
“Classes are adapted to our level and to our physical capacities, in English and in French – Mehernaaz is attentive so that everyone understands the instructions. The atmosphere is pleasant, a real moment of relaxation, where you learn to breathe, to hold your back and your abdominal muscles, leaving aside the rhythm of daily life. Very appreciated!”

“I have been taking private lessons with Mehernaaz for several months following back pain caused by poor posture and a very intense job from a physical point of view. Since the first day, Mehernaaz has been able to put me in confidence. Thanks to her expertise, patience and kindness, I see a great improvement in my posture and reduced pain. A big thank you for everything.”
