Yoga...
Specialising in Yin yoga, Restorative yoga and Myofascial self-massage, my priority is to guide you towards a better understanding of and connection to your physical, energetic and mental bodies in order to improve your daily well-being and long-term balance. Convinced of the benefits of yoga for everyone, I've been teaching weekly classes since 2014. Each class is unique, sometimes focusing on anatomical, energetic or meditative benefits, while always emphasising the importance of the breath.
I started practising yoga in Switzerland in 2010 and it was a move to Singapore in 2012 that allowed me to fully commit to a curious and passionate practice. I now balance my 'Yang' activities with 'Yin' styles of yoga. Certified by Yoga Alliance in 2013 in Ashtanga-Vinyasa, I then took part in over 900 hours of training (list below), mainly in Asia with experts such as Sarah Powers and Jo Phee (Yin yoga), Adeline Tien (Restorative yoga) and Arun Rana (Yoga therapy). Passionate about the complementary techniques ofMyofascial self-massage and the Sound healingI often include them in my lessons.
I look forward to welcoming you to a meeting in the near future. course, a workshop or retreat. They are open to everyone and will allow you to immerse yourself in a bubble of serenity for a few hours or days.
Entrepreneurial side...
Both professionally and personally, I've always been motivated by the desire to help the people around me to grow and develop.
For 13 years, I held a number of management positions with a leading multinational in Switzerland and France. I then trained in Business & Life coaching and founded Coherence Coaching. For 7 years, I accompanied my clients through change. That was the start of my independent adventure.
Teaching yoga came as a natural continuation of this path. As well as the creation of the company and the Boutique YOGA'.
