Who are we?
The founder
Arnaud Tortel
Arnaud Tortel is a physiotherapist and dietitian who has also led polar expeditions. For over twenty years, he has been working with elite athletes, including fifteen years with the Salomon international trail running team.
Everywhere he goes, he makes the same observation: people plan their training down to the last detail – the training itself, nutrition, equipment – yet they leave their recovery to an ordinary mattress. Eight hours of optimised effort, and the eight hours during which the body repairs itself are left to chance.
That’s how IAKOTA came about: to make every night a genuine time for rest and recovery, without electricity, without stimulants, with nothing to do.
