Yannick BOUYSSOU

Professional climbing instructor, I offer individual or group supervision, from initiation to access to autonomy and improvement, as well as services on raids, events, etc in rock climbing, via ferrata, climbin'tree, on cliffs or on your site.
I adapt as much as possible to your request. You can contact me to define together the moment and the project that will best suit your desires.
The activity is possible throughout the year, particularly using cliffs exposed to the sun in winter or shade in summer.

I have been practicing this profession for around twenty years now, I am a state graduate and a graduate of the French Mountain and Climbing Federation (FFME). I am also a member of the union of professional climbing and canyoning instructors (SNAPEC), and approved by the Ministry of Youth and Sports and National Education.

After university training as a physical education teacher, I specialized in my passion: climbing. I worked for 5 years for the Tarn territorial committee of the federation where I acquired considerable experience in training and coaching.

Passionate about education, I continued my personal training and opened myself to "new pedagogies", "relational education" and personal development techniques. I am trained in Nonviolent Communication (NVC) and the Person-Centered Approach (ACP-Rogers).

Climbing is also an opportunity to gain self-confidence, discover others from another angle, and enjoy superb places and memorable viewpoints.
Passionate about nature, I enjoy offering my services on sites that I know well and whose fauna and flora I can present.

I offer professional coaching that adapts to your needs:

• the will to practice a sport that is both natural and original,
• the desire for adventure and challenge, or the search for serenity and wilderness,
• a willpower to improve your skills or to learn new ones,
• the organization of sensational workshops during an event,
• enriching an educational or therapeutic project.

The variety of practice sites and my experience enable me to offer my services to a wide range of climbers:

• from beginners to experienced climbers,
• from regular sportsmen and women to people with disabilities,
• from young children aged 4/5 to senior citizens,
• for individuals or groups,
• for a single session, a day or a multi-day course.

My preferred practice sites are the Aveyron gorges in the Tarn and Tarn-et-Garonne departments (a dozen cliffs around Saint-Antonin-Noble-Val, the Roc d'Anglars via ferrata, etc.) and the Viaur valley in the Aveyron department, with the Roc du Gorb cliff and via ferrata in Bor-et-Bar.

Details of my teaching approach:

• Although the sessions are essentially group-based, I strive to offer each individual the activity or level that suits him or her, without prejudice. Sessions are built around progressive learning situations, often involving play or sensations.
• My guidance encourages learning, self-discovery, self-confidence and contact with nature. What a lot of memories to have in the body and the eyes ;-)

Don't hesitate to contact me for more information, and I look forward to sharing my passion and services with you. You can consult my departures for sessions bringing together "individuals" or contact me for tailor-made sessions.
