Our Story
Sacred Body Studio is a warm and welcoming studio. Called “Sacred Body” following the thought of B.K.S. Iyengar “My body is my temple and yoga is my religion”. We believe in the importance of self knowledge, physically and mentally.
Physical Side:
We like to teach and share the knowledge of body's physics. Yoga is a great discipline to teach you how to balance, strengthen and explore flexibility and movement. The word Yoga means “Unit”, it invites you to experiment and work with your whole body altogether.
Mental Side:
Our principles are acceptance, kindness, respect, understanding and love for ourselves and others.
For some of you might misunderstand this concept as “Pinkie stuff”. The root of these concepts is to balance our mind that constantly need to compute informations and may creates problems, stress, negative thoughts, etc…
Our Inspiration:
We are passionate about the development and enhancement in all aspects of anyone who approaches us.
We keep to our moto “the Legend of the Phoenix”.
“Reborn from the ashes, to start a new long life.
After death it rises gloriously from its ashes and flies away.
The phoenix symbolises renewal and resurrection”
For us it is a reference in our lives, and can be apply to anything that we want to reach or explore.
It’s always good to reborn at anytime in your life, wherever you are in a positive or negative stage, any physical condition, any age or in anyway you feel. If you are reading this you may look for physical, mental and/or spiritual balance.
Our goal:
To support and guide you through your journey from beginning to advance levels of physical and mind awareness. We have created a system incorporating different techniques that we had been exploring to develop mind and body.
Our range of classes that focus in different areas:
Body alignment and core muscles strength, yoga technique, free movement and acrobatics, breathing techniques that maximise oxygen intake, meditation, relaxation and coordination.
Who we are:
We are dancer, capoeira, Pilates, yoga, fitness instructors and personal trainers, fascinated by the extraordinary things that the human body can do and curious about its structure and functionality. Amazed of the body’s expression. We are looking for an effective way to lie, seat, stand and move.
Our story:
7 years ago, Ghislain and I met. He was coming to my Pilates classes, at that time he was complaining about back and knee pain due to his strenuous capoeira training. We discovered that we have the same passion of body movement. And our journey started together. All these years together as a couple, we have been discovering and learning deeply about human anatomy. Techniques to stretch and gain strength. We have been working hard to gain the physicality we have (we are not like those lucky ones that are naturally flexible). That made us look for different ways to develop ourselves. And now, we are opening our dream studio that we want to share with you.
Yoga benefits:
Apart from gaining flexibility, strength and relax. Yoga have a big impact in the endocrine, cardiovascular, digestive and nervous system. Think it as acupressure, the poses of yoga stimulates blood circulation and stimulate triggers points and organs. That's why yoga has detox effects as well.
Which type of yoga is best:
There is only one yoga, people try to make their own brand or product by way of calling it differently but it is only based on the same poses. A good yoga class should have detox poses, strength and flexibility poses, restore poses and balance poses.
There are different techniques and styles to teach those poses as Ashtanga (dynamic), Iyengar (using props), Hatha Yoga (static and releasing). But all is depending of the flexibility and strength of your own body.
