I'm a 500-hour registered yoga instructor with over 12 years of experience in yoga and meditation practice and training.

Originally from France, I started practicing yoga when I moved to New York in 2009. In 2021, I left a career in finance and sustainable development to fully immerse myself in the teaching and sharing of yoga.

My yoga teaching combines the principles and styles of Ashtanga, Vinyasa, and Katonah Yoga, along with my Vedic meditation practice and study of Vedic philosophy.

I have worked with students of all ages and paths, focusing on the details and principles of universal alignment and allowing the more subtle aspects of the practice to reveal themselves.
