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 Workshop - March 21, 2026

Image
16h-18h in Paris  (version français un dessous) PranaStretch 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. Largely based on the floor, PranaStretch is the practice that has served as the foundation of all my work in dance, yoga and the martial arts.  Based on the teaching of Eric Beeler and combining elements from yoga, the martial arts, pilates, Niklaus and Alexander techniques, PranaStretch has been for me a source of deep core strength, refined articulation, easeful extension, powerful projection, and a sense of wholeness, peace of mind and joy in life.  This is an in-person 2-hour workshop that takes place near Porte Maillot in Paris. Space is limited for this small group practice. (It is possible to attend online if you have participated at least once in an in-person class or workshop with me.) 40€ (with a discounted rate of 30€ for t...
