Some 5000 years ago,<\/strong> in India, Yoga was only a meditation<\/strong> practice. Its aim was for mortals<\/strong> to be as one with the Divine<\/strong>. Over the times, wise men<\/strong> added the dimension of physical practice<\/strong> to spirituality.<\/strong> \u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t Yoga<\/strong> is a Science of Life. <\/strong>Yoga<\/strong> has conquered the West, especially since the 1970s. <\/strong>Yoga is an answer to this quest. Our lives in contemporary Western societies are marked by various destabilising factors, Two currents made me the Yogi I am today: I am always eager to learn new things<\/strong> and being open-minded,<\/strong> I soon developed an interest in Ashtanga Yoga<\/strong>. I was deeply marked by its uniqueness.<\/strong> I am ever so happy to be able to take lessons with teachers for whom I have the greatest respect:<\/strong> Patrick Frapeau,<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>Krista Cahill<\/strong><\/a> and Eddie Stern<\/strong><\/a>,<\/strong> a\u00a0disciple of\u00a0Pattabhi Jois<\/strong><\/a>.<\/strong> My gratitude<\/strong> to them is boundless.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t Two currents made me the Yogi I am today:
<\/strong>Come and discover the Story of Yoga<\/strong> on my blog<\/strong>.
You will find information on the History of Yoga<\/strong> and its evolution<\/strong>.
The treasures of Yoga<\/strong>, its truths<\/strong> and legends<\/strong>, its variations,<\/strong> and its various disciplines<\/strong>…
So many topics that regularly feed my blog. I am happy to share with you a fascinating world: the World of Yoga.<\/p>\n
However, whereas more and more Westerners are interested in Yoga, in India,
Yoga tends to become a page in the history<\/strong> of this fascinating country.
In my opinion, this may be explained, in part, by the fact that our modern western societies
have become detached from religion over the last 50 years;
nevertheless, people always remain in search of spirituality. <\/p>\n
<\/strong> Moreover, along with the destruction of the great natural spaces, human activity has concentrated
on increasingly dense urban areas, whilst forcing people to live at a frenetic pace.
Yoga offers a new space, <\/strong>bringing us back to the essential <\/strong>and suggesting other dimensions.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
for instance, the considerable stress <\/strong>we accumulate.
Likewise, new eating and behavioural habits
<\/strong> (instantaneity, the search for permanent performance, addictions to drugs, screens, junk-food, over-consumption, etc.)
all converge against our balance,<\/strong> our well-being<\/strong> and our personal fulfilment.<\/strong>
Therefore, science and medicine recommend regular physical activity
<\/strong> to help us cope with this way of life and to protect ourselves.
Here again, yoga is an answer.<\/strong>
Yoga<\/strong> is the alliance of spiritual and physical practice.<\/strong>
Yoga<\/strong> helps people of all ages, genders and social backgrounds to find themselves<\/strong>,
recharge their batteries and change <\/strong>their bad behavioural reflexes.
At the same time, Yoga<\/strong> also provides us with a Guide<\/strong> in order to live better<\/strong>,
with a healthy body and mind,<\/strong>
within the values of non-violence, tolerance, solidarity <\/strong>and respect.<\/strong> \u00a0<\/strong> \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\tMy Influences <\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
