+ Your teaching style: Pretty dynamic! With a focus on strength and rigorous alignment. I believe that my past as a competitor (climbing) is felt in my way of understanding yoga and teaching it. I am looking for a balance between pushing myself and listening to myself. It is about moving your limits while respecting them.

+ Your yoga philosophy: One of my Ashtanga teachers once said: "What brings you to the mat will bring you higher". Investing in the practice of yoga, whether you are aware of it or not, is already putting in place vectors of change for yourself. The physical practice has repercussions on the mind. Changes take place. We understand that the physical practice is only a small part of yoga, we begin to study the other components, to integrate them into our lives, and to reflect them on the world. 

The practice of yoga shows how we can be united, yet so different, by having compassion and respect for each living being and its environment. Over time, we become more aware of our impact on our surroundings, on the future and become more responsible for our actions.

+ Your Yoga mentor or other: It can be people I don't know at all, like for example during my first Ashtanga training in India. I was more marked by another student (who became a friend later), than by the teachers in general. Without realizing it and without meaning to, he was a pure yogi in action in the world. But in general, I prefer to draw inspiration from women: Kino Mac Gregor and Laruga Glaser inspire my practice and my teaching, Jennifer Lopez is a model of determination, and then Virginie Despentes, Rokhaya Diallo, Surya Bonaly...
