About Cécile Hérault
Cécile Hérault is a yoga and Thai massage practitioner based in La Roche-sur-Yon in the Vendée, France. She first practiced yoga in 2008 while travelling through Asia and found Thai massage a few years later. It has since become her daily work. Her approach is holistic, and she likes bringing people together and creating spaces for meeting and sharing. She teaches Thai massage at the Lulyani school in southern France and assists and works with its founder, the osteopath David Lutt (Osteothai). Some Lulyani sessions she teaches take place in the Vendée. She also organizes Festi'Thaï, a French Thai massage festival held every first weekend of July in Dordogne. Her studio UMI closed at the end of June 2026. She now offers online yin yoga classes and yoga workshops and weekends in the Vendée and elsewhere.
