YOGA
Every month, I teach 21 Days of Yoga online because I've learned through years of practice, that collective energy and intention create something beyond that of individual discipline.
I live a quiet life here in southwest France, and I've learned that practicing alone, day after day, requires enormous discipline. Apps are convenient but lack presence. Retreats are powerful but separate from daily life. I have found being in community a support that inspires motivation, and encourages ongoing commitment.
This is why I teach live, every day. The energy of practicing together, even through a screen, creates accountability and connection that changes everything.
This is for…
Committed practitioners who struggle with consistency, Yoga teachers seeking sangha and community, anyone returning to the mat after time away, or those that simply feel the call to join.
The first week tests you. But as you stay with it, you experience the changes - mental resistance fades, energy rises, communication sharpens. You get more done with less stress, and you experience Yoga as a way of life, not just a class.
How I teach
The pace is slow, intentional, and grounding. As your nervous system softens and breath deepens, the body becomes more receptive and strength builds sustainably.
We move in a way that opens the body's energy centers to create emotional balance, and focus on the psoas, the deep muscle connecting your spine and legs, and a key messenger between body, breath, and stress response. When life becomes pressured, the psoas contracts, creating tension, fatigue, shallow breathing, and emotional overwhelm.
With conscious movement and breath, these patterns change. You feel clearer, more energized, and connected to your intuition. The practice sets the tone for your day, peaceful and prepared.
How I came to yoga
I found yoga in my early twenties during bereavement and panic attacks. It brought me calm, but I wasn't at a place in life to commit fully. Years later, after my mother's death, I returned completely, and it became the foundation that restored my health, rebuilt my confidence, and set the course for an entirely new way of living.
I trained in the Sivananda tradition in Kerala, studying my 500 hours with Swami Govindananda Saraswati. I chose this deliberately: to learn from monks, to immerse in a lineage tracing back to 800 AD, to understand a non-western view of life's meaning.
I've stayed close to this lineage for over twenty-five years because i’ve found depth comes from commitment. Following one path allows the practice to work through you. This consistency forms the backbone of my teaching: a steady rhythm that calms the mind, strengthens the body, and brings you back to yourself.
With regular practice, you notice more ease in decisions, more spaciousness in thinking, quiet confidence carrying into work and daily life. This isn't about the perfect pose, instead a discovery of what it means to let go of perfection, and return to yourself, again and again, with honesty and compassion.
“I Just wanted to thank you for the opportunity to do the practice with you. You are so knowledgeable and passionate about yoga and create sessions that leave you feeling energised and ready to start the day” - Sara, Italy
SWAMI GOVINDANANDA SARASWATI
They say your teacher appears when the student is ready. I had the fortune of meeting Swami Govindananda on a trip to Kerala in 2013 and have appreciated his guidance since. A true master of energy management and delivering Yogic philosophy in an uncomplicated and practical way to apply to our contemporary Western lifestyles. He taught me the benefits of teaching and practising slowly to feel a deep sense of peace.
