Thanks to the yoga practice, I could gradually connect better with my feelings and grasp the signals sent by my body. I have also learnt to accept, here and now, the state of my body, not only its strength and its flexibility, but also its limitations and its weaknesses. This experience is useless, if I do not enjoy it off the yoga mat as well, in my daily life. This is exactly the purpose of yoga: to accept what is and \u201cbe one with\u201d, with myself, with the other, with any situation.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><span lang=\"EN-US\">I am imbued with the beginner\u2019s spirit: any pose already done hundreds of times is a new pose which brings about a new experience. And, if I am open to it, it provides insights into my deepest self. The necessary changes then come up in one\u2019s personal and professional life. That is why, in 2011, I felt the need to teach. So, while I keep on training, I share what I have been receiving. Teaching is now for me another way of learning. In 2018, life carried me away from my comfort zone in Brussels to Guadeloupe. In 2021, I decided to leave Guadeloupe and settle down in the South of Touraine, in France, where I have my own little studio. Yoga is just part of my life and my spiritual path alongside Arnaud Desjardins and his disciples.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Yoga\u00a0Education<br \/>\n<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ecoles-viniyoga-formation.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Viniyoga \u2013 \u00c9tude et Transmission du Yoga<\/a> \u2013 School of Claude Mar\u00e9chal.
