Little by little, yoga took a growing place in my life.
I was taught at the CEFTY and then completed my training in India where I was lucky enough to train at Ashtanga yoga institute in Mysore while Sri Patthabi Jois was still there. I also followed his teaching during workshops in Paris and London.
In Mysore Sheshadri taught me up to the third series Advanced A and initiated me to the 4th series.
I attended his teacher training at the Mysore Mandala for several years.
I continue to study and practise yoga by attending workshops, mainly with Matthew Sweeney. I am certified to teach the Moon Sequence as well as the Lion sequence In paris I have been studying and practising Iyengar Yoga for many years with Corinne et Faeq Biria as well as with Emily Megged.
Teaching and passing down yoga brings me great satisfaction, and the students’ motivation and gratefulness makes me even more willing to share the beauty of yoga and teach it.
Yoga DVDs
For 4 years I was a teacher at Samasthiti studio and together with Caroline Boulinguez we designed 3 Ashtanga yoga DVDs. We shared our knowledge to offer series adapted to different levels as well as teaching sequences. Those DVDs are material to Ashtanga practice.

Espace Nataraja Paris
For 5 years I ran the Esace Nataraja paris together with Sabine Naud. We had a nice team of teachers dedicated to yoga as well as other physical disciplines. In addition to regular classes, Espace Nataraja offered many workshops such as the Second series that I was teaching. We also had international guests such as Shashadri, Shankara Darby or Heather Elton.
Yoga intensive
Over the last few years I have organized Yoga intensive workshops in London, Paros, Pondichéry, Morocco, Italy… In those workshops the practitioners can improve and evolve, and have some time to themselves for introspection.
This year I am planning new workshops with the agency Zen & Go.

Indian dancing
I also practise the classical Indian dancing Bharata Natyam with Kalpana who offers a very thorough teaching. This dancing requires patience and dexterity. Kalpana choreographed several dances about Indian Gods based on yoga postures for me.
Teacher Training
In order to continue ma transmission of yoga I put together a programme for the Yoga Alliance International teacher training. This teacher training offers postural practice, teaching methods, anatomy and Indian philosophy.
