Having myself worked in high-stress environments, I know first-hand how stress can reduce the quality of life.
Being also a medical doctor, I know all too well the long-term impact of stress on your mental and physical health.
That is why I have created these classes.

Chronic fatigue, difficulties sleeping, back pain, digestive issues, muscle tensions, irritability...
I have been there too. If you experience any of the above, it is high time to push the reset button. Correctly done physical postures, along with breathing and relaxation techniques can make a huge difference.

Do you worry that you are not flexible enough? Well, don't. The only requirement for my private yoga class is to be able to breathe. :) I have helped students with all kinds of physical conditions and I know how to adapt the practice to your needs.

Are you still not sure? Just give it a try. Simply come for a 1-hour class to see if it makes sense to you. :) There is little to lose and possibly a whole new world to gain :)
Extra information
*Be on empty stomach (2-3h since the last meal),
*Use comfortable clothes for practice (we practise barefoot)

About Me
Medical Doctor, Certified Health and Fitness Lifestyle Advisor, European Lifestyle Medicine Organization* Country Representative in Switzerland, Science-based Yoga Teacher with focus on Stress Management and Posture

After having worked in different medical settings (including operation theater, intensive care unit, rehabilitation clinic and psychiatric hospital) I have decided to redirect my career path and concentrate on the roots of chronic disease: our everyday choices. In other words, our lifestyle.

The research on this topic is impressive: we now know for a fact that up to 80% of chronic diseases are caused by our lifestyle. It means that by making changes in the way we live we can prevent, treat and in some cases even reverse many chronic diseases.

I have experienced first hand the impact of a healthy lifestyle and my mission is to spread this knowledge to the public as well as accompanying you directly in your journey to a healthier, happier life.

We all know how important it is to stay healthy. We all want not only to live longer but also better: physically, mentaly and cognitively. But too often, it feels overwhelming. We get busy, put it off, and wait for the 'right time'—which almost never comes, or comes too late.

It doesn’t have to be this way! Even small, intentional changes can make a big difference in helping you stay well, avoid illness, and feel your best. Every journey starts with a single step.

With a Lifestyle Intervention Session, you'll get personalized guidance to help prevent chronic conditions and improve your overall well-being.

🔎 In this session, we'll have a detailed conversation about your health, lifestyle, and goals—making sure your health plan is tailor-made to your unique situation.

✏️Together, we'll create a simple, actionable plan that sets you on the path to lasting health.

Prevention is the best medicine—let's work together to create your healthier future.

⏰ 90 minutes. One session. A practical step towards feeling better and staying well.

I provide a framework of self-analysis and concrete steps to help you free yourself from beliefs and habits that hinder your growth, keeping you on an emotional roller-coaster, and to develop those that support you.

This training is undertaken through weekly discussion, note-taking and concrete actions to be taken each week. Yoga therapy such as work on chakra balancing and practices to connect with your spiritual being can be included in this program.

The course is designed to:
Provide you the flexibility to be able to stay in the comfort of your home whilst your yoga instructor comes to you.
And give you the chance for one-on-one quality learning with a program designed specifically for you, according to your needs and preferences.

My Yoga Teaching Philosophy:
Many of my students, when they first come to me, express their disappointment with some of the yoga lessons they have visited. They find them to be either too much focused on the physical aspect and lacking in real substance and sense of community in the group or, on the other hand, too much focused on the spiritual/mental aspect without much challenge to the physical body.

In my personal practice and during my lessons I try to work towards a balance between strength and relaxation, between action and introspection.

I do not take myself too seriously, since, for me, this practice should be a joy - a discipline yes, but definitely not a dogma. I would like my students to be able to experience the power of what yoga can offer us and feel at ease with being just who they are: natural, without any need to live up to any ideas of who a yogi 'should' or 'should not' be. This, to me, is a process of allowing time and practice to take effect - a process which we experience both together, and individually in everyday life.

All my programs are tailored to your needs and preferences. Yoga and Emotional Mastery training can be combined to deliver maximum value.

This training is designed to guide you to develop greater consciousness and master your own sense of health and well-being. Meaning: you build up your own regular practice and habits that will remain with you over the long-term, way beyond the limit of our one-hour lessons!

▪️We are approaching the end of the year, holiday periods, particular with the health situation we are going through. It is a period when we eat more, move less and decide to make resolutions for the year to come.

▪️ What if you attacked 2021 by resuming sport?
- “The sports halls are closed and anyway I don't necessarily want to play sports with a mask. "
- "I haven't done any sport for a long time but this is the opportunity to get started!" "
- "I don't like to play sports if I don't have someone to encourage me and accompany me. "
- "I don't have the time and / or the skills to prepare for and carry out my workout." "
- "I would like to play sports but I do not know how to go about it. "

▪️ If you find yourself in one of these sentences I can help you start 2021 in the best possible way.

▪️ Sport is beneficial and even more so nowadays. I suggest you follow you through a personalized program.

▪️ I will offer sessions on the theme: Mobility / Flexibility, Weight loss, Cardio / Endurance, Strength / Muscle building.

▪️ After an assessment and a first session intended to establish a diagnosis, I will set up a training plan that is as individual as possible in relation to the objectives defined at the time of the first session.

▪️ The result is an essential point and seeing its progress is very important. For this, I offer you intermediate objectives that will motivate you continuously. Reviews will take place every 3 months to analyze the progress made and define new ones for the following 3 months.

▪️ I realize that asking for a personal trainer is an investment of time and money, which is why I do everything to make this collaboration fruitful.

▪️ My job is to help you achieve your physical goals.

▪️ Possibility of individual or small group sessions.

What I propose:
☑️ 1 session per week for 3 months, i.e. 12 sessions +1 assessment + 1 discovery session + 1 assessment at the end of the 3 months
☑️ 2 sessions per week for 3 months, i.e. 24 sessions +1 assessment + 1 discovery session + 1 assessment at the end of 3 months + 2 sessions offered
☑️ 3 sessions per week for 3 months, i.e. 36 sessions + 1 assessment + 1 discovery session + 1 assessment at the end of the 3 months + 4 sessions offered
