A neuroscientist-guided fun yoga class with dance and vocal-sound meditation for children to achieve peak performance in daily life

Àpd 15.88 € /h

An engineer-neuroscientist from McGill University, experienced in yoga, meditation and Indian classical dance; teaches fun yoga with dance and nada (vocal sound) meditation; provides free tips on brain science for focus and concentration.

As a computer science engineer (postgraduated from one of the prestigious Indian Institute of Technolgoy in India) turned neuroscientist (PhD from McGill University) with extensive experience in science, maths, technology, research, physical and mental health, my goal is to infuse the findings of research to the young minds at an early age. These findings relate to maintaining the health while working towards achieving best performance in academia, sports, or any other activities. For some students, maths may be an enemy and literature is a friend, for others,it may be different. For some, memorization task may be difficult while others may adopt "contextual strategy" to learn fast. But little do we know and/or consider in our daily lives how to train our brain and mind to enhance memory without peer/parental/school/ etc... pressure on children. This is where I come in. I help children to use their weaknesses to develop a growth mindset.

-Teaching methods: customized according to student's needs, ability to comprehend, and study-level

-Typical plan: warmup exercise, hatha-yoga asanas, fun yoga-dance, meditation (breathing, concentration, sound). Once in a while, steps from Indian classical dance and music and memory games to improve memory and prevent boredom.
-Why me?- As a neuroscientist, I use neuroscience research findings to teach and practice with fun; i provide free theoretical knowledge too. I practice these lessons for my own benefit too.
Lessons for: school children grades 4 to 10 (the earlier a child starts these practices, the better they are)

My classes will introduce you to the beauty of flowing sequences and how to connect you breath with your movements. I will focus on energizing your body through core strenghth and dynamic flows or more grounding standing series. Explore your body through movement in a light and playful way and improve your flexibility while learning how to use your breath in a healing way.

I'm offering private yoga sessions suitable for one person or small groups.

Prices for small groups can be discussed.

What I like about teaching:
I'm interested in encouraging people to use their breath in an empowering and healing way. Further to that I like the combination of flowing movements and the cultivation of groundedness both with deep Ujjayi Breath. Through hands-on assists I like to support my
students to get a deeper sensation of the pose and experience the borders of their bodies. In my classes I like to hold space for my students to experiment, discover their strength and to overcome fears.

Yoga is an amazing tool I discovered more than10 years ago. With the help of yoga you will be able to release tensions and emotions that you have been carrying around with you for years. Subsequently, you will make space for new things to unfold in your body and Life! Don’t watch the process happen on other people but start today.

I will guide you with body, mind and spirit into this practice with a lot of asanas. Some women will discover they can leave the medical pill box aside for relieving period cramps for example. Many claim to have found a solution for their anxiety, insomnia or depression.

A mindful practice comes from your own input. As a 200 Hour yoga Teacher and 50 hour FlyHighYoga teacher I will be your guide and coach to embark on your journey with a variety of purposes - be it weight loss, toning, relieving stress, controlling emotions, going through a difficult phase in life, curing pain and symptoms, staying in shape, improving flexibility or practicing to become a professional.We will do different asanas in conjunction with the phases of the moon. Additionally, I work with breathing - the power of breathing is an add-on to your yoga practice. With the control of your breath you can actually turn off the mind when it’s spinning - this will give you clarity. Nonetheless, it’s a very powerful way to cleanse your airways and lungs. The lungs fight pathogens on a daily basis - but have you ever wondered when you actually cleanse them ?

I am an experienced and certified teacher with over 150 hours in teaching in studios and University facilities. I can teach one on one classes but also groups up to 50 people. My practice is dedicated and adapted to my students. I focus on getting the best out of everyone, mostly having fun and feeling great during and after class.
Are you ready for this journey ? (Beginner, intermediate or advanced welcome)

Pilates, Barre and other classes available with me on demand.
I have recently graduated with a Barre foundations diploma, provided by the MethodBarre. Barre a very popular sports enables you to build strength and elongate your muscles. As an ancient dancer (Jazz and Ballet) at the Conservatoire de la Musique du Luxembourg, I have strong ballet foundations. However, my barre practice merges fitness and ballet. Yogi’s and anyone can benefit from Barre classes.

You can book me for retreats, private (luxury) trips on demand as your coach/ instructor.

Finally, I have a nutrition diploma by the Univeristy of Groningen, where I am also currently being trained to become an MD. My nutrition diploma is an advantage to you as a coach- I can guide you in injury recovery, detox and assist you with certain medical conditions such as IBS or other gut diseases in the autoimmune spectrum.

In these neuro-divergent times, the binary division of "one language or two" in bilinguals is perhaps due some contestation, which students are capable of providing. I have always found bilingual production models (and the ubiquitous Powerpoint slide) that university teachers provide a hindrance because of their lack of explicitness and discussion - they are just not relatable as presented nor do they provide much information or examples for monolingual students.

Code-switching, a by-product of bilingualism, is now a term that is even found in minority-ethnic neighbourhood grafitti ("can white people code-switch" a found example). Please note that this is a linguistic term, used for switching between two languages, and not between local or social varieties of English.

My personal position is that there is no such thing as bilingualism: there is always a language that suffers attrition, and one language that prevails, mostly because of its prestigious standing over the other language. On the other hand, a child exposed to more than one language cannot be truly monolingual.

For this course (very popular at universities around Europe both at undergraduate and postgraduate level) we shall go through the terms used to discuss bilingualism, in detail, and then discuss, with the help of published books and articles, who can be considered bilingual (or are we all, one other language lying dormant?). Can bilingualism be defined by the speaker, instead of the "community"? Can it be imposed by the State? Does a bilingual brain function in the same manner as a monolingual brain? These are research questions that emerge as dissertation or thesis topics both at undergraduate and postgraduate courses.
