Open Your Chakras and Restore Inner Balance

par Elodie Abadie • 28 juillet 2025
Chakras lie at the heart of many spiritual traditions, especially in yoga and Ayurvedic medicine.
These invisible energy centers influence our physical health, emotional well-being, and mental clarity.
When our chakras are open and aligned, the vital energy (prana) flows freely, allowing body, heart, and mind to live in harmony. In this article, discover: * What chakras truly are * Where they are located in the body * How to recognize imbalances * Which yoga poses, breathing techniques, meditations, and foods help restore balance to each chakra

Yoga Dance Is for You!

Bandhas: The Secret of the Yogis

par Elodie Abadie • 14 juillet 2025
Introduction: Why Engage the Bandhas in Yoga? Have you ever heard your yoga teacher say, “engage your abs,” “squeeze your pelvic floor,” or “draw your belly in”?
These cues are not just about posture—they refer to precise internal actions known as Bandhas, or energetic locks in yoga.
Activating the Bandhas helps you protect your body , especially your spine, while also stimulating the flow of vital energy, or Prana . They play an essential role in asana practice, pranayama, and even meditation.

Yoga Warm-Ups

par Elodie Abadie • 7 juillet 2025
What if you chose your warm-up based on the element that suits you today?
 Earth, Water, Fire, or Air — discover how each energy can transform the start of your yoga practice. The warm-up, that key moment at the beginning of a yoga session, is much more than just a physical preparation. It’s a ritual of reconnection — a way to return to the body, get the circulation going, calm the mind, and settle into the present moment. Each day, our needs change. So why not choose your warm-up based on the natural elements that live within you? In yogic and Ayurvedic traditions, the elements — Earth, Water, Fire, and Air — can guide us toward a practice that aligns with how we feel, here and now.

Positive Psychology: Living Better by Focusing on What Works

par Elodie Abadie • 30 juin 2025
What if, instead of constantly trying to fix what’s wrong, we started nurturing what’s already working well within us? 
That’s the essence of positive psychology , a modern scientific discipline based on decades of research. It seeks to understand how to make life more satisfying, more meaningful, and more aligned with our values.

Yoga Dance: Where Fluidity, Inner Strength and Freedom of the Body Unite

par Elodie Abadie • 23 juin 2025
Yoga Dance is much more than a physical discipline. It is a philosophy of movement , a way of being in the world, of inhabiting one’s body, of flowing through one’s emotions. 
Born from the fusion of yoga, contemporary dance, and traditional Indian practices (notably Natya Yoga), this choreographic approach to yoga is not about performance, but about authentic self-expression through movement. Each session becomes a sacred space for reconnection — to your breath, your sensations, your creativity, and your joy of being alive.
Here are the core principles of this practice, far beyond the postures.

Sacred Breathing: The Key to Living Yoga

par Elodie Abadie • 9 juin 2025
In yoga practice, breath is far more than a simple physiological function — it is a true bridge between body, mind, and spirit. Breath, or prāṇa , is considered the vital force that flows within us. Yoga invites us to become aware of this subtle energy and use it as a tool for inner harmony. In fact, breath is the link between the visible and the invisible, between movement and meditation, between outer turbulence and inner stillness. In foundational texts such as the Yoga Sūtras of Patañjali , breath control is described as an essential pillar of practice. Prāṇāyāma, the expansion of vital breath, is one of the eight limbs of yoga (Ashtanga Yoga), placed after postures (āsana) and before concentration (dhāraṇā). This highlights how breath is seen as a path to inner transformation , leading toward meditative states.

💫 Tone, Strengthen, Align: The Promise of the Pilates Reformer

par Elodie Abadie • 2 juin 2025
Something new is coming to life in our universe.
 A project we’re crafting with care, blending technique, precision, and a deep love for the moving body. 
At the heart of this evolution lies a practice that transforms the way we connect to our body: the Pilates Reformer. But the Reformer isn’t just a machine.
 It’s a full-body experience. 
A way of moving that’s more fluid, more grounded, and more conscious. In this article, we invite you to explore this unique tool, its benefits, and how it redefines the Pilates practice from the inside out.

🍃 Breathing is Practicing

par Elodie Abadie • 26 mai 2025
In a world that’s always rushing forward, the simple act of conscious breathing becomes revolutionary. Before we speak of aligned postures or dynamic flows, there is the breath.
Always there. Quiet. Often ignored — yet essential. In the yogic tradition, Pranayama is one of the foundational pillars, along with asanas (postures) and meditation. But what exactly is Pranayama?
Why is it so powerful? 
And how can we truly integrate it into our practice and teaching? In this article, let’s explore the art of breath , its benefits, techniques, and its central role in the yoga path.

🌿 What if we started gently?

par Elodie Abadie • 19 mai 2025
Welcoming a beginner to a yoga class is about more than just softening the practice or skipping inversions.
It's about building trust, offering an accessible and positive experience, and creating a true first encounter with yoga. Because those first few sessions leave a lasting impression: they can open the door to a regular practice… or close it abruptly if the student doesn’t feel seen, safe, or welcome.
As a teacher, you have the power to create a space that feels both supportive and inspiring. In this article, we explore the key pillars of a well-designed beginner class: mindset, structure, common pitfalls to avoid, and practical tips for teaching with clarity, patience, and kindness.
