ABOUT US...

Image
Bienvenue et welcome !  ( Version anglais en dessous) Être présent à chaque instant de notre vie est une célébration de la vie. Cela peut être un défi, car la vie (comme nous le savons) est pleine de toutes sortes de défis. Il faut du courage et de la fermeté pour faire face à tout ce que nous ressentons. Il faut de l’honnêteté et de la compassion pour trouver un équilibre. Être présent dans nos vies nécessite une volonté de se transformer en permanence. La vie n'est jamais tranquille. La vie bouge. La vie nous bouge.  Être présent à chaque instant alors que nous bougeons et sommes émus dans notre vie est la seule chose qui vaut vraiment la peine d'être faite. Être présent tout au long de notre vie augmente notre conscience de la dynamique toujours en jeu entre nous et les autres. Être présent dans nos vies est le fondement de l’amour et de la sagesse. C'est pourquoi j'enseigne le yoga.  Le yoga est fondé sur ces mêmes qualités de courage et de fermeté, d’honnêteté et...

PranaStretch Spring Yoga Workshops

Image
March 22, 2025 - Saturday April 26, 2025 - Saturday May 18, 2025 - Sunday June 21, 2025 - Saturday PranaStretch is the practice that has served as the foundation of all my work in yoga, dance and the martial arts. It is what has given me deep core strength, refined articulation, peace of mind and joy in life. It is profound, subtle, breath-focused work that keeps us moving throughout the class, gently but intensely, harnessing the mind rigorously to the breath as it moves through the body.  This is an in-person 2-hour workshop in Paris near Porte Maillot. Space is limited for this small group practice. 40€ (with a discounted rate of 30€ for those with limited income)

Free Yoga Video Recordings

Welcome! These videos are accessible by anyone.  Make sure to listen to your body and modify or reject any proposition you need to. In this work, we are always seeking stability combined with ease, rather than pain or stress. If you feel pain or strain in the joints, light-headed or dizzy, these are clear signs from your body that you must modify, ease up, slow down, or outright reject the practice.  If you are or have been dealing with any injury, illness or disease (including high blood pressure, glaucoma, joint issues, severe migraines, or any recent interventions like dental work), check with your doctor to make sure it is okay for you to practice yoga or do physical exercise.  If you would like to share these exercises, ideas or principles with others, great! All we ask is that, when you do, you acknowledge who you received this transmission from. In many instances, this will be me (Ann Moradian), but in other instances it will be someone else who is acknowledged in ...

Winter Retreat in Provence

Image
January 24-26, 2024, in the Petite Camargue, Provence Come gather in a charming retreat centre just outside Aigues-Morte, a medieval town dating back to the 13 th  century. With roots going as far back as 102 BC during the Roman period, Aigues-Mortes is rich in history, raw natural beauty and vibrant wildlife.  We'll practice yoga 2 hours in the mornings, and 2 hours in the evenings, suspending time to replenish and resource, tending our inner light to help carry us through this deepest part of our northern winter. Our practice is gentle, deep and fortifying. We'll take the opportunity to explore and experience 'balance,' and ponder what this might mean when we come at it upside-down, inside-out and sideways.                                                               ...
