What to expect in a class?

The class is divided in 3 parts:

We start with warm-ups, stretching, muscle strengthening, based on dance exercises, floorwork and yoga poses. We do deep body preparation with stretching, that gives better range of motion, reinforces muscle fiber, improves stability, neuromuscular control and coordination. Then we go a little bit deeper by alternating acrobatic moves for better balance, flexibility and muscle building.

The second part of the class is based on choreography learning, by combining yoga poses (the ones we already worked on during the warm-ups), flowing from one to another with dance moves, while playing modern soundtracks.

We always finish with positive visualization and relaxation (5mn), based on mindfulness techniques, self-growth coaching techniques and positive psychology, in order to completely relax the body and mind.

Who are the students?

Child, adult, teenager, man, woman, beginner or advanced, anyone can join the class as I always offer various options to adjust the poses according to your physical capacities. This is a perfect way to start yoga or dance, or to find out about the combination of both practices, while taking care of your body, and maintaining good joints and muscle fiber.

Benefits of this practice ?

Improves muscle and spine flexibility, which will reduce chronic back pain. 

Better harmony throughout the body by working on all muscles, especially the deep ones that protect the bones. 

Better memory and focus, thanks to the sequences that you need to memorize. 

Building persistence, self-confidence, tolerance, sweetness and flow, that will help you in your everyday life. 

Not to mention that yoga strengthens our immune system, releases stress and tensions, improves sleep quality, and helps us stay in the present moment by letting go of inconsistent thoughts.
