As a teacher of hatha yoga and relaxation for 15 years, with 22 years of hatha yoga practice and relaxation techniques, my goal is to teach basic yoga postures and relaxation and meditation techniques, to prevent or help alleviate back pain. I adapt my classes to the needs of the student, taking into account his specific needs.

Certified Professor of the Association of Himalayan Yoga Meditation Dyana Mandir Trust Societies, Swami Rama Sadhaka Ashram Gram of Rishikesh (India), I focus my yoga sessions mainly on back and joint health, taking into account that yoga can to be practiced at all ages and in the long run, provided that certain principles are applied by performing the postures of hatha yoga. I also focus on breathing techniques and relaxation, essential elements for a complete yoga practice. I also teach meditation, which is the central goal of yoga as defined by the Himalayan Tradition.
Extra information
Have a gym mat available and if needed to support the neck in certain postures, a bath towel that can be rolled.

About Me
Certified in hatha yoga and relaxation techniques and meditation, I teach yoga for 15 years and practice it since 1997.
Following my initial training, I took part in many steps to reinforce the teaching of yoga and meditation.
With the participation of an osteopath, I developed yoga sessions focused on back and body health in general, to allow practitioners to perform their postures by protecting their backs to prevent back pain, or to mitigate pains when the practitioner has back problems. The postures are performed taking into account the constraints of each practitioner.

Certified in Aromatherapy Well-being and beauty from the CFD in Brussels (Belgium), I decided to pass on my knowledge in this exciting and vast field that you need to know well to be able to use essential oils safely. They really help us manage our daily well-being, if we know how to use them wisely. Their properties are broad, so it is important to know them well to know which essential oils are suitable for your profile and which could be their contraindication for your specific profile too. My life coaching takes the form of 1-hour courses in Well-being and beauty aromatherapy according to different themes:
1- Relaxation & stress management: anti-stress essential oils and different ways to use them on a daily basis
2- Energy & dynamism: energizing essential oils and different ways of using them on a daily basis
3. Drainage: essential oils to drain, a way to feel good
and other themes such as "Taking care of your hair to feel good", "fighting cellulite" etc., addressing the properties of essential oils and the different approaches to their safe use.

The course is accompanied by lifestyle advice and nutritional advice, the use of essential oils being part of a whole: they will be even more effective if their use is accompanied by a healthy lifestyle which is important to apply , especially in this period of crisis when our body, our mind, our resilience are particularly stressed.

The course takes place as follows: I come to your home and first detail the properties of a choice of major essential oils for the theme of the day, I show you the different ways to use them safely, you receive a document which covers the course, so that you can then make your own product afterwards, with complete in-depth knowledge of the properties of the essential oils to be discovered or that you already know. You can invite a few friends or family members, the main thing being that there are 5 of us maximum.
The price indicated is individual. If several people participate in the course, each participant is invited to register for the course to pay for their participation.

RYT-200 Yoga Instructor; Pre-Natal & Post-Natal Yoga; Reiki Practitioner
Peaceful Mind, Active Life; Positive Energy, Powerful Synergy

Like a lot of people, I used to work 9-6 in an office in the luxury retail industry. Day in day out in the busy city of Hong Kong, same routine over and over again. Stress was not getting any less and burden was not getting any lighter. I started questioning myself -

What was I fighting for?
What are the goals in life?
Some might have already figured it out, some are still trying to find out, but for sure everyone is different.

I started practicing yoga since 2012. When I first started, it was certainly not my favourite. I was always very impatient, fast-paced, easily stressed and agitated; so yoga for me was too calm, too slow and too still. For the very same reason, I decided to continue and overcome these weaknesses of mine and find balance in myself.

Throughout these years of practice, initially I was very focused on the body postures, always wanted to achieve the crazy and advanced-looking poses; and gradually later on, I was being more aware of the importance of state of mind and peacefulness, because yoga is about unity of mind and body.

I became certified as a RYT-200 Yoga Instructor in 2016. Yoga stresses on both physical and mental wellness: It is a balance of yin and yang - strength and flexibility; as well as focus of breaths and control of mind.​

I have tapped into the world of yoga, and I have been lucky to learn from wise and inspiring individuals. Having the chance to share those lessons and experiences with people around fills me with joy. Everyone could use more yoga in their lives, so I hope to see you on the mat soon.

Namaste.

"GENTLE" YOGA CLASSES

Hatha and Yin Yoga classes for a gentle return to oneself. Perfect for everyone. Perfect as a complement to more intense physical activity.

Hatha yoga is a traditional form of yoga that aims to balance the body and mind through physical postures (asanas), breathing exercises (pranayama), and meditation. It is often considered the foundation for many other forms of yoga.

Yin yoga has its origins in Traditional Chinese Medicine, Taoist philosophy and its postures are very close to classical yoga as we know it.

Yin yoga postures are performed gently and mindfully. They work in depth on the physical, mental, emotional and energetic levels through stretching and deep breathing. Each posture is held for a certain time in order to bring relaxation and appeasement.

In my classes I include asanas (postures), pranayama (breathing exercises) and I incorporate aspects of the yoga philosophy that would allow the student to have a more clear approach to yoga as a way of life, rather than as an exercise. The classes take place in studio rooms I rent or at the student's space. Depending on the student's preferences and time availability, the class might take from 1h to 1h30'. It is suggested a minimum of 1h15'.
