I first discovered yoga through my mother, who has been practicing for 45 years and has managed, in part thanks to yoga, to slow the progression of her disability. As a teenager, I went with her to a session — it was a very slow form of yoga (yin), and at the time, I found the slowness unbearable. It just wasn’t the right moment yet…

It was in 2015, during my acting school, that a guest teacher introduced us to Ashtanga Series 1. Her approach was more martial than yogic, but still, from that very first session, I thought to myself, “That’s it — I’ve 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.

Since then, I have been certified as an Ashtanga Vinyasa teacher by RYS Yoga Alliance 200h and 300h, under the guidance of Linda Munro and Gérald Disse.
I also completed a 200h certification in anatomy with AnatomYoga® (Blandine Calais Germain).
