ABOUT THE TEACHER
EXPLORING WAYS TO IMPROVE HEALTH & HAPPINESS
Hey! My name is Gwen. I grew up in France, in the area of Toulouse. I was never an athletic kid, but I always enjoyed dancing and took ballet lessons.
As an adult, I became a globetrotter, and went to live in Shanghai, China for several years, where I discovered a passion for Pole Dancing. Pole Dancing transformed my body and brought my self-confidence up to a new level: I was no longer the asthmatic kid lagging behind. I could lift my body in the air and twirl it while feeling graceful. It was quite a revolution.
It's during a trip to India that I fell in love with Yoga. The philosophy and practice of Yoga opened my eyes to spirituality, completely changing the way I see life, and opening a new pathway to discovery and personal growth.
I enjoy practicing outdoors surrounded by nature and experiencing the seasons, as well as combining Yoga with the Elements in nature: Air with Flying Yoga, and Water with SUP (Standup Paddleboard) Yoga.
I'm grateful to have the opportunity to teach and share my passions with others. Let's give ourselves the wonderful gift of moving our bodies and keeping our minds clear and open.
