Yoga

I have been teaching yoga since 2006, and my many years of experience have made me deepen the relaxation as the therapeutic practices that can be used, especially for musicians and harp players (musicians indeed need these practices a lot).
I started being attracted to the yoga philosophy while I was studying my degree in philosophy in Paris. There I had the chance to be taught a course in Indian philosophy for a year. Our basic studies where around the Yoga-Samkya texts, but our teacher in Sorbonne was also deeply interested in building bridges with the Greek presocratic ideations as well.

I initially learned yoga in Paris with Sri Venudas - an Indian teacher from Kerala who taught me an authentic and powerful traditional Indian yoga (from 2002 to 2007). In parallel with this, I did martial arts at a very intensive pace from 2002 to 2007, as my harp teacher wanted me to learn to have « more dynamic energy): I trained myself intensively on VovietNam (Vietnamese martial art) for couple of years. In 2005 I went to India where I received my yoga teacher diploma from the Sivananda Ashram, with Yoga Alliance certification. In 2006, I started attending the Van Lysbeth school of Yoga in Paris, with eel own teachers in Nidra Yoga (André Riehl) and in pranayama and relaxation (Willy Van Lysbeth) and in energy/Taoist yoga (Arianne Buisset). In 2007 I went to India for a PhD in the field of anthropology of music and stayed there until January 2013. I trained in several places and be extended my knowledge, while also learjing Indian singing and Indian music. I lived in Greece from 2013 and for a decade, along with the music (harp) I personnalised in coaching people privately to help them with very specific needs. My experience as a teacher was also enriched with various upgrades: children yoga, Pilates mat, and clinical Pilates seminars. At the moment, I am very interested in therapeutic yoga in all its forms, which I can achieve thanks to the mixing of traditional yoga techniques with other energy practices (chi-quong that I learned during my martial art years) but also with Pilates.

I believe I can really help many musicians to heal from diverse blocks that their intensive music practice have created, but also help them find overall balance and grounding- which is deeply needed for a good musical experience performance. My yoga is attached to simplicity, despite my profound knowledge of the Last but not least, I am also deeply involved as a musician in yoga, and I often play relaxation music and accompanying with my improvisations yoga and meditation sessions. Yoga has also helped me as a musician, to be deeply inspired and connected with an invisible field where various energies flow and heal.
