About Me

I have always been interested in languages and different cultures.
Ever since I am a teenager, I try to get chances to live and experience in different countries with different cultures. I have lived in South East Asian for half a year, then New Zealand for 6 years, Australia for 3 years, and right now I am in France. The journey does not end here!
Because of my own experience, I very well understand the struggles with languages or being an expat in a different country. I took as my mission in life, as well as helping people who are similar-minded to achieve similar goals.
I also love sports - yoga, rock climbing, alpinism, and trail running.
I have developed a range of cross-training programmes for people who would like to discover new things or actually using a language to learn something else.

Ashtanga Yoga in Group or Individual in English or in Chinese

42.87 C$ /h

Ashtanga Vinyasa Primary Series (also known as the First Series or Yoga Chikitsa) means yoga therapy. When practiced regularly, heals all sickness and purifies your body in preparation for more profound Yogic practice - both physical and meditative.

Ashtanga Yoga is a definite sequence of various Hatha Yoga Asanas or poses coupled with a particular set of breathing techniques called ‘Ujjayi Pranayama.’ This sequence was developed by the famous Hatha Yoga Master of the 20th century - Yogi K Pattabhi Jois. Ashtanga Yoga Primary Series is an ancient Hatha yoga text known as ‘Yoga Korunta.’ This ancient yoga series is practiced with synchronized breathing techniques (Vinyasa) that promote ‘flow of breathe’ in the asana or pose practice. Together, this is called Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga Style.

During the course, you will receive a workshop focused on alignment and adjustment techniques for the main postures of the Ashtanga Yoga primary series and a few other more advanced postures if you wish. It will be focusing on the Asana (the physical aspects of poses). 🌸🌳🌹
I'll also try to cover as much of Pranayama (breathing) and Dristhi (where to look at) as possible.

I passionately believe in the significance of discovery and experience on the development of your unique personal voice.

Yoga for Inner Serenity: Soothe Anxiety and Regain Balance

75.84 C$ /h

Yoga is often recommended as a beneficial practice for relieving anxiety and stress. It combines gentle physical exercises, breathing techniques and meditation, which can help calm the mind and relax the body. Here are some reasons why yoga might benefit you:

Stress management: Yoga encourages increased awareness of your breathing and body, which can help reduce stress levels and promote relaxation.

Improved breathing: Yoga emphasizes deep, mindful breathing techniques, which can help regulate your nervous system and reduce anxiety.

Body Strengthening: Yoga postures (asanas) can improve strength, flexibility and balance, which contributes to better overall physical health.

Mental focus: Practicing yoga requires concentration and presence of mind, which can help you detach yourself from anxious thoughts and refocus on the present moment.

Community and support: Joining a yoga class can connect you with others who share similar concerns and provide additional social support.

It is important to note that everyone is different and methods of relieving anxiety may vary. If you are considering starting yoga, I recommend consulting with a healthcare professional, such as a doctor or therapist, to discuss your specific situation and get advice tailored to your needs.

Why is pelvic mobility important?
🔆Pelvic mobility is essential to meet the simplest daily functional needs such as walking or climbing stairs. The pelvis is the center of gravity and the largest bone complex in the human body. It is an insertion point for strong muscles: they form the muscular chains that have the pelvis as an anchor point.
The shortening or overtraining of some of them, due to sports postures or gestures, can generate an imbalance in the tensegrity system of the pelvic girdle and many local and adjacent problems, from muscle decompensations, pain, health problems at a visceral level and many others. aspects that are not taken into account 🧐
✅You have to ensure that your pelvis is in a neutral position, aligned at all times and in any activity you do so that your body does not adopt wrong postures by default and avoid having problems with its mobility and consequently other derived dysfunctions, such as hernias, lower back pain. , pelvic floor problems, etc.
📌The program aims to strengthen, stretch and put into tension the muscle chains and the analytical work of the abductor, adductor, extensor and pelvitrochanter complex. All of these myofascial elements determine the pelvic position and, in doing so, create or limit the freedom of the pelvis, having repercussions on the lower and upper limbs.
🤗 Of course we are not going to leave aside the rest of the body❗️❗️😅
The training approach will be individualized, after a general and analytical body evaluation.
Enough of so many aches and pains, release the superficial and deep fascia and revitalize your energy center. 🥰

Sound healing, also known as energy medicine, is recognized as one of the fastest holistic healing techniques, using specific sound vibrations to promote relaxation, balance energy, and support both physical and mental wellness. Techniques such as sound baths, chakra healing, and full body sound healing therapy are used to help address various conditions, including stress, anxiety, pain, and even some chronic diseases.

Sound healing operates on the principle of resonance and vibrational medicine, where specific frequencies interact with the body on a cellular and energetic level to restore harmony. The body, being largely made of water, conducts these vibrations effectively, allowing sound to impact tissues deeply and trigger physiological responses such as endorphin release and pain relief.
Techniques and Applications
Sound Bath: Involves immersion in the soothing vibrations of instruments like singing bowls and gongs, inducing a deep state of relaxation and meditation.

Chakra Healing: Targets the body’s energy centers by using sounds matched to each chakra frequency, aiding in emotional release and energy flow.

Therapy for Diseases: Some studies and practitioners report benefits of sound healing for conditions like high blood pressure, insomnia, chronic pain, anxiety, PTSD, and even support through cancer and behavioral disorders.

Full Body Healing: Promotes overall wellness by balancing mental, physical, and spiritual health, leaving individuals feeling refreshed and at peace.

Benefits of Sound Healing
Reduces stress, anxiety, tension, and fatigue.

Improves mental clarity, emotional well-being, and sleep quality.

Enhances blood circulation, lowers blood pressure, and supports natural healing.

Balances chakras, promotes deep relaxation, and fosters a spiritual sense of connection.

Sound healing is generally considered safe for most people, but those with certain sound sensitivities, epilepsy, or pregnancy should consult with practitioners before sessions.

Yoga Nidra is a sacred practice of conscious rest, where the body sleeps while awareness remains awake. Rooted in the ancient yogic tradition, this guided journey gently draws attention inward, allowing the nervous system to settle and the mind to enter a deeply receptive state.

The practice begins with breath awareness and body sensing, followed by the setting of a Sankalpa—a heartfelt intention planted in the fertile ground between waking and sleep. Gentle mantra vibrations and guided imagery support the release of physical, mental, and emotional layers, leading toward a sense of wholeness and inner stillness.

In this liminal state, the fluctuations of the mind soften, echoing the yogic understanding that true rest arises not from sleep alone, but from presence. Yoga Nidra nourishes clarity, emotional balance, creativity, and deep renewal.

Suitable for all levels, this practice invites you to rest, realign, and reconnect with your inner wisdom.

Your mind can be your best friend, or your worst enemy. And you get to decide.

If you have a persistent inner critic or you suspect you could be happier, if only you knew how to, this class is for you. Over the past ten years, I have combined knowledge from neuroscience, evolutionary biology, and psychology with a long-term practice of meditation to solve my childhood trauma on my own. I have spent over 1500 hours in formal practice, several hundred of them in isolated retreats.

I will help you develop an understanding of your own mind that will lead you to identify and drop sources of unhappiness and get closer to your best version. Hopefully, one day you would not need me as your teacher.

Interested? Let's get in touch.

These yoga sessions offer a complete approach to the practice, integrating its essential dimensions: asana (postures), pranayama (breathwork), meditation, and the philosophical foundations of yoga. The intention is to explore yoga not only as a physical discipline, but as a coherent and transformative practice.

The classes are accessible to everyone. Beginners can discover the foundations in a progressive way, while more experienced practitioners can deepen and refine their practice.

Each session explores the connection between movement, breath, and awareness, allowing the practice to unfold both physically and inwardly.

Classes are available in English and French.

I live and work in Sri Lanka most of the year, where I teach yoga daily, and I am based in Europe during the spring and summer.
