I first discovered yoga through my mother, who has been practicing it for 45 years, and who has succeeded in slowing down the progression of her handicap thanks to it. As a teenager, I followed her to a session, it was a very slow yoga, where the postures were held for a long time. I suffered a lot and I told myself while holding the candle posture and sweating profusely “yoga is not for me”…

It was in 2015, during my training as an actress at the Théâtre National de Bretagne, that a dancer and director came to teach us the Ashtanga first serie. Her way of practicing was more martial than yogic but surprisingly, from the first session, I said to myself “this is it, I finally found my sport!

The word “sport” when talking about yoga would give more than one person a rash, but there is no shame in entering this vast world of yoga because of the desire to have a healthy body. In fact, it is quite valid. And later, when the need arises, the philosophy of yoga is always ready to welcome us.

So after that, and for three years, I continued to practice on my own, watching from time to time the video from 1993 of Sri Pattabhi Jois guiding series 1.
Inevitably, I felt blocked, I needed to open up. So I went to practice at the Ashtanga Yoga Paris studio. It was a radical change for me. I had always practiced with joy, amazement, and I would even say with a childish infatuation; and here I discovered Vinyasa and all these incredible postures, the forces of anatomy or how to protect one’s body through knowledge, mantras, mudras, Yin… I opened a little more the book of yoga. And that strengthened my desire to teach.

I am certified in Ashtanga Vinyasa by RYS Yoga Alliance 200h and continue with the 300h RYS Yoga Alliance training led by Linda Munro and Gerald Disse.
