I've been asked by the French magazine "Esprit Yoga" to write a blog on their website about my insights and experiences as a French yoga teacher living, teaching and practicing in New York City. The blog is called "Une Yogini à Manhattan". If you understand French, I hope you'll enjoy reading it here.

I'll write more posts in English in the near future but you can already read the one I wrote a few years back about the Sacro-illiac Joint.

With gratitude,
Céline


PERMISSION TO SOFTEN

It’s been a little while since I wrote to you. I fell off my routine of sending my newsletter every trimester but we’ll all agree that this past year has been so unusal so you’ll excuse me. Lately the feeling that keeps coming back to me during my meditations and in my life in general […]

RESILIENCE

There is so much to say that I don’t even know where to begin and I also want to keep this short as I know most of you have been flooded with emails and newsletters from pretty much everyone. It’s been a whirlwind of events that all of us had to face from one day […]

THE POWER OF INTUITION

As a child, I think our intuition is quite developed and as we grow into the world, some of us tend to loose it a little. It tends to fade away and gets covered up, most of the time, due to our education, the rules of society, the way we see ourselves, the fear of […]

THE COMPLEXITY OF EMOTIONS

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about all the different feelings we go through, all the different colors of the rainbow we experience, sometimes through a life time but more often than not, within a short amount of time.It is a fact that everything changes all the time and the only constant is change. That […]

HOW EVERYTHING STARTED…

My first real exposure to Yoga was during one of our travels in South East Asia in 2003. My husband and I backpacked for eight months and ended our trip in India were we stayed for over a month.I’m glad India was the last country we experienced because even after having travelled for many months, […]

DEALING WITH CHANGE

The closing of the Yogaworks Upper West Side studio last November got me thinking a lot about change. It’s not the first time I experience the closing of a studio or a big change in my schedule but this one, really affected me emotionally because it was my second “home” for the past 13 years. […]

HERE. NOW.

Having studied Yoga for 15 years, I’ve heard and read these two words “HERE NOW”, hundreds of times and even more. They represent a huge part of the philosophy of yoga if not its entirety if we have to summarize what the discipline of yoga is. But it’s only recently that they took their full […]

Sutras, sharing and feelings

A few weeks ago, I finished teaching a teacher training in Strasbourg, France. On our last day, as we were doing a very emotional closing circle, I asked the students to tell me which sutra resonated the most with them. During the training, we discuss and study the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali which a is […]

Meditation and Courage

6 years ago I made a deal with myself that I would meditate 20 minutes daily. 6 years later, I can count on the fingers of my hands the days I’ve missed my meditation. I started practicing yoga 15-16 years ago and while I was meditating on and off I was falling off the discipline […]
