WE LET YOU DISCOVER AN EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW.
1) You were a classical dancer in New York and now a designer
from “The Graceful Movement”, Your passion is teaching Yoga,
pilates and the classic with Grace. Where do you teach?
Can you explain to us the difference between Yoga and Pilates?
as well as their respective benefits?
I am fortunate to have been trained in Yoga, Pilates and classical dance for over
20 years old. This mix has built my way of teaching. Marrying Yoga, Pilates and
classic allows you to create the perfect balance between muscular strength, flexibility and
thanks despite their very different approaches.
I currently teach Pilates, floor ballet and strength training at Tigre Yoga Club in Neuilly-Sur-Seine and in the Marais, Paris. I also offer private lessons.
For me, Yoga means union or connection. With daily practice, Yoga allows us to be more in tune with our body through physical positions that put all our muscles in motion.
By combining yoga breathing techniques with rhythmic movements of
Dance allows us to better understand our body and focus on the mind.
Pilates is a physical practice developed by Joseph Pilates in the 20th century.
It is a gentle gym method punctuated by moments of concentration.
The movements developed in Pilates help improve physical strength,
flexibility and posture. I always combine the two in my classes.
2) What is your secret to keeping such a positive mindset?
I've been dancing and listening to music my whole life, so all I have to do is turn up the volume and
dancing… Anywhere, anytime. My 9 year old twins also dance a lot.
It makes us happy, life becomes rosier when we dance!
3) How eco-responsible are you?
No one can change the world in a day, being eco-responsible for me means being eco-responsible in daily actions. I walk or take my scooter to get around Paris.
My shopping bags are always reused and reusable. And I buy products from brands that are committed to a sustainable world like Luz Collections.
4) What inspires you?
Kindness inspires me. Kindness to those around us really does
the difference.
5) Can you describe in a few words what Luz Collections means to you?
In a few simple and true words, Luz Collections represents everything I am.
I pay attention to the world around me, I love fashion and design. Luz perfectly meets these 2 criteria. And then of course, I feel beautiful in your swimsuits!
