Your type of yoga teaching:
I teach creative, modern and intuitive yoga, while respecting tradition, all in a good mood and letting go! Hatha Yoga, Hatha flow or Vinyasa Yoga, always to music, I love movement, reconnecting with the body; I write my flows in such a way as to travel freely but safely, respecting the anatomy of each body.
The uniqueness of your teaching:
The flows, the vibrant music, sometimes even electro, my students tell me that they travel, that my voice transports them during meditation or relaxation.
