About Me

I am a certified Vinyasa and Hatha Yoga coach by the One Yoga Thailand school.
Practicing regularly for 5 years, my training as well as my various internships abroad (Bali, Zanzibar, ...) have helped me to acquire a certain experience which allows me to adapt my courses to all levels: beginners, intermediates and confirmed.
I was also able to develop a personal pedagogy through which I share my knowledge with my clients and my students.
My classes can be taught in English or French depending on your preferences.
I invite you to come and discover Yoga with Hope Arts Studio, or to deepen your knowledge if you are already practicing.
Because we are connected, we are alike, we are one.

A full course of one hour (60 min) with the possibility of reserving for a longer duration (90 min). My classes are mainly oriented on the connection with the breath, the anchoring and the deep muscular work. The lessons are adapted according to the level of the students, and I offer several variations: Hatha Yoga: general category which encompasses most of the styles practiced. "Hatha" means "perseverance", "effort" or even "determination". To be determined to achieve liberation within a certain period. This discipline is in relation with "prana", the vital force and its two components: masculine energies, considered as solar and active + feminine energies considered as lunar and passive. From there was born another interpretation according to which "Ha" & "Tha" would mean the sun and the moon united and balanced through the practice of Hatha yoga. The soul being the sun, constant and stable in its brilliance and luminosity, the spirit being the moon, constantly fluctuating and changing like the phases of the moon. The basic principle of Hatha yoga being to unite and harmonize the opposing energies of the body; the mind and its reactions. We unite the body and the spirit to unite the spirit with the universe. A Hatha yoga class consists of physical postures and breathing exercises. The postures are performed slower and last for a few breaths (30 seconds to a few minutes) to promote anchorage and stability. A real in-depth muscular work. Vinyasa Yoga: the Sanskrit term Vinyasa is derived from 2 roots "Nyasa" which means "to place" and "Vi" which can be translated as "in a specific way". Each movement is linked to rhythm and consciously placed to create a dynamic flow. It is a more rhythmic and powerful yoga which allows to link the postures in a harmonious way with transitions commonly called "vinyasa" and used in particular during the sun salutations. Here we retain the postures in a shorter time than during a Hatha yoga session, but we are still aware of our movements and our alignment. Yin Yoga: a gentle yoga, for people looking for relaxation, a stretching work inspired by Yin Yoga to release muscle tension and settle into letting go. I invite you to discover Yoga with Hope Arts Studio or to deepen your knowledge if you are already practicing. Meditation: work on the chakras; the 7 main energy centers of the body, often represented by 7 specific colors. During this session, we will focus on a particular chakra to balance and / or unblock it through breathing techniques and guided meditation. We will also explore mindfulness meditation, bringing the moment to the present moment, reconnecting to your “inner self” consciously and without judgment, examining thoughts and emotions. This practice is beneficial for relieving tension and everyday stress. Possibility of private or semi-private lessons in the studio, at home or online. I teach in French and English.
I suggest an art therapy session to disconnect you from the stress of everyday life; and immerse yourself in meditative art. The technique of dot-painting or point painting is an artistic activity recognized for its anti-stress virtues. It is an art accessible to all that allows you to nurture your creative side, improve self-confidence, and which also helps develop communication and exchanges. Just like during a yoga or meditation practice; we return our attention to the present moment, to what our body and our mind are doing, we observe and feel our sensations at the moment T without analyzes or judgments; we just refocus. You have understood it: it is about eliminating positive thoughts and welcoming new and colorful energies! The choice of colors and patterns allows the mind to refocus and forget the worries of everyday life.
Qi Gong is a traditional Chinese gymnastics derived from traditional medicine. "Qi" means energy and "Gong" work. It combines slow movements and perfect control of breathing. The practice of this ancestral soft martial art allows to find the spiritual, psychic and physical balance.

South Indian dance, Bharatanatyam. (All levels)
Indian dance is an amazing world full of beautiful details, intriguing codes and apparent technical complexity. We can enter it in a pleasant, relaxed but motivated way to explore the beauties and depths of this beautiful Art. The BHARATANATYAM is the most popular "classical" dance in India. It is characterized by its delicate geometry and neutral movements that allow channeling the natural movement of each performer. In broad strokes, what we will see: PRACTICE Initiation through the traditional apprenticeship system Postures, lines and mechanisms of movement Rhythm of the ground hit expressive resources THEORY Relevance and context of applied theory The gesture as a narrative element History and problems

Eleonora
ORIENTAL DANCE PRIVATE CLASSES - Geneva and the Holy Land
Oriental dance is a dance of Egyptian origin, which includes many styles. Originally, it was a spontaneous and improvised dance, but today it is taught academically all over the world. It is traditionally practiced by women, who express by this art their femininity, their vitality, but also their feelings, joys and sorrows. In general, this dance is characterized by the dissociation of the parts of the body (isolations) that can move independently of one another. Oriental dance is as good with jerky rhythms as slow and fluid. Bellydance is not limited to movements of the pelvis: it solicits flexibility and tonicity of the bust, shoulders, arms, hands, pelvis and belly. It helps tone the thighs, relax the joints, develop the abdominals and maintain the back. Most of the work resides in the muscular contraction, this dance can be practiced at any age, in the respect of the limits of each dancer or dancer. The course begins with a joint and muscle warm-up, followed by technical work. The basic movements are then integrated into sequences that allow you to move in space and experience the pleasure of dancing, before ending with a session of relaxation.

My plan is to work with my students for 5-10 hours to help them overcome the lack of confidence and improve their abilities. Courses for all levels, basic steps and figures are also suitable and the degree of difficulty increases according to the progress made. What I want to convey and teach in my classes is technique, musicality and style, but what I want most is that you have fun.

Classical oriental dance choreography - belly dance techniques
Belly dancing is a wonderful feminine dance. It shows the beauty of a woman's body, whatever its shape. As soon as she starts dancing, she shows her harmony, sensuality and sweetness. Each centimeter of the body plays a note: the arms are divided into three parts, the chest, the stomach, the thighs, the legs and the head too! Even the neck and fingers. . .on music and tabla. To master the dense oriental, three things to learn and work on: 1_ techniques (hip-drop, arm movements, belly undulations, shimmy...) 2_the fluidity of the body (we can acquire it with exercises and repetitions) 3_the harmony of the sequences of movements constituting the choreography.
