Manon Soavi

Manon Soavi, Aikido teacher and author, is one of the most original contemporary voices, noted for her first book, Le maître anarchiste, Itsuo Tsuda, where she links the Tao and anarchy. Her philosophy, drawn essentially from her practice, made her come across Françoise, whom she now helps to make known: if Françoise is on Facebook and Instagram, it’s thanks to Manon!
