Where it all began…

On that beach, one summer, my friend and long-term yoga practitioner, Anne, offered me to join her for a yoga practice. It was my first real experience of yoga and to this day I still remember this moment.

Back in Singapore, where I lived at the time, I signed up for yoga classes at the nearest studio. I never looked back! Needless to say that I am forever grateful to Anne.

Yoga has become an essential part of my life. It helps me make the most of my good days and cope with my bad days. This practice taught me the importance of self care and helped me discover and connect with my body in a whole new light.

I am on a journey…sharing what I learn along the way with the wonderful people who join my classes.

Born and raised in France, I lived and worked in South East Asia for many years before settling down in the gorgeous English countryside where I now live with my family.

my yoga…

The classes I teach are strongly influenced by my own practice and the inspiration I draw from the teachers I learn from, both on and off the mat. The class sequences change regularly, yet they build upon one another so there is a sense of progression.

With yoga, we learn to cultivate the secret pause between the in-breath and the out-breath, between the stimulus and the response where lies our freedom to choose.
