Why Yin Yoga?
In 2006, I began my yoga journey in Hong Kong. I was looking for a way to slow down my mind and manage my hyperactive temperament. Traditional meditation didn't work for me, and finding stillness was a struggle. That's when I discovered Yin Yoga, a style that seemed perfectly suited to my needs.
As I delved into the practice, I found that Yin Yoga provided the ideal avenue for finding inner peace. Its slow pace and introspective nature allowed me to calm my mind and experience a sense of tranquility. Although I couldn't meditate in the traditional sense, Yin Yoga offered me a meditative experience through its long-held poses.
In 2009, I returned to Paris and continued my yoga journey. While exploring different styles, I came across Bikram Yoga, but it didn't resonate with me. However, my search led me to Iyengar Yoga, conveniently located near my home. During the 90-minute Iyengar Yoga sessions, I discovered that I could empty my mind and experience profound well-being. It not only benefited my body but also had a transformative impact on my mental state, providing the peace I had been seeking.

As time went on, I met Camille, a Yin Yoga teacher who played a significant role in my yoga journey. Under Camille's guidance, I delved deeper into the practice of Yin Yoga and learned the art of stillness and extreme slowing down. It was a revelation for me as the combination of Yin Yoga and Iyengar Yoga proved to be a perfect fit for my temperament and needs. By practicing both styles, I found a harmonious balance that brought me peace, both in body and mind.
In 2020, I took a major step in my yoga journey by completing my teacher training with Camille. The training not only enriched my personal practice but also ignited a passion for teaching. I am grateful to learn every day with my students because I wouldn't be able to improve my teaching without their presence. Witnessing the peaceful expressions on my students' faces at the end of each class brings me immense joy and fulfillment. Their presence and participation in my classes inspire me to continually grow and evolve as a teacher. Teaching Yin Yoga has become a reciprocal experience, where I share my knowledge and guide them, but I also learn and gain insights from their unique perspectives and experiences. It is a beautiful journey of mutual growth and learning that I am grateful to be a part of.
