I am French Swiss, fluent in English and have lived in Asia for most of the last 19 years.

My spiritual journey started in 1989 when I first met the Dalai Lama and for a period of 6 years I had the privilege to study Buddhist philosophy and be taught meditation by renowned Tibetan Lamas in Dharamsala, and Bodhgaya in India as well as Nepal. I had the good fortune to attend powerful initiations from highly realized Tantric Masters like H.H. the Dalai Lama and Kyabje Zopa Rinpoche, Kirti Tsechap Rinpoche, Ven.Denma Locho Rinpoche, Ven. Rilbur Rinpoche.

I came back to Yoga in 1999 through an intensive private teacher training in Varanasi, India which inspired me to a regular daily practice. This was deepened by spending several months in the Sivananda Yoga ashrams at Uttarkashi and Neyyar Dam where I undertook a second teacher training.

I have also had extended periods of study and practice with lifetime experienced Iyengar teachers (in India, in Switzerland, and in Bali) which opened me to a new dimension and understanding of Yoga for which I am very grateful. My training in Thai Massage in 1999 in Chiang Mai north Thailand and the regular practice of it are very valuable and supportive skills in my teaching of yoga, providing a subtle sensitivity and understanding of each student’s unique anatomy.

The Yoga I teach and am developing is a synthesis of Sivananda and Iyengar techniques. It allows the students to maintain a meditative and relaxed spirit while focusing on precision and alignment.

Allowing the movement of the body while keeping the stillness of the mind, one is then directed to follow one’s breath into Vinyasa flow.

As a travelling instructor, I had the chance to be teaching in a variety of locations. Since 1999 I offer classes from January till end of March in Goa, south India. From 2004 I have been teaching during the summer at the Yoga Studio in Chiang Mai and I also offered private classes on request at the 4 Seasons in Chiang Mai. In the summer of 2008 I taught for 6 months at ChivaSom, Thailand’s premier health resort. I have also offered several workshops in Switzerland on my summer visit there in 2009.
