ABOUT ANNE

Hi there! My name is Anne & until 2015 I occupied my days in the corporate world as an international marketing executive. I was virtually hooked on my email feed and would always carry my passport in my handbag, ready to catch a flight.

But then – after years flirting with the idea of "doing something else"– I decided to take action. That is how you end up reading these words right now!

 

IN A FEW WORDS

Yoga Teacher - Student for Life - Paragliding Pilot - Mountain Lover - People Hugger - Passionate Educator - Music Junkie - Anatomy Nerd - World Traveller - Proclaimed Patagoniac - Essential Oils Geek - Bubble Yoga Founder - French by roots - Aussie by tribe - Swiss by heart

IN A FEW MORE WORDS

I am here to help you create more space for yourself;
Through Yoga to bring movement to your body & reconnect to your breath;
Through Mindfulness to quiet the mind & find more balance to navigate the real world;
Through Community to create meaningful connections & empower each other to grow. 

Born & raised in France, I started to practice yoga in 2011 in the middle of an always-on-the-go marketing corporate life. This encounter rapidly turned into a love story, an essential part of my lifestyle, a place of constant exploration & inspiration! Realising how much clarity & truth yoga brought to my life – and as ‘love is the only thing that grows when shared’ (A. de St-Exupéry) – I decided to step out of my corporate role & share what I know & am passionate about with others.

Practicing & teaching yoga is reconnecting with what it is to learn & grow – every single day. I was evolving in a world of repetition, strategies & frustration; Yoga brought me back to a place of constant exploration & inspiration.

Since 2015, you’ll find me teaching Yoga & Mindfulness in studios rooms, business offices, schools & universities or private living spaces, besides running my own studio 'Bubble Yoga' in St. Gallen, Switzerland.

BACKGROUND & TEACHING STYLE

Combining all the influences I have received over the years, I love to teach various styles of yoga, from energising & creative flow classes to grounding & restorative practices or personalised therapeutic sequences, always supported by carefully selected music. As a paragliding pilot, outdoor sports enthusiast & mountains lover, my classes are deeply connected to the Elements & focused on how the way we move & breathe on our mat can translate into our everyday actions.

I aim to inspire my students to believe in their own capacity to grow & know themselves. I encourage them to be grateful for their successes and playful with their challenges. I offer a safe space for them to practice free of judgement or competition, to connect to themselves & others. I believe in & commit to Yoga for All.

Main influences on & beyond the mat: Poonam Stecher Sharma & Sanjeev Bhanot (Yogalife – 200hrs RYT), Tiffany Cruikshank (Yoga Medicine – 500hrs RYT), Jonni Pollard (1 Giant Mind – Meditation Teacher), Deborah Langley, Simon Park, Shiva Rea, Mark Stephens, Kate Ashley (Yin), Claudine & Honza Lafond (YogaBeyond – AcroYoga & Meditation), Maty Ezraty & every single of my students.

They inspire me off the mat: Kemi Nekvapil, Yvon Chouinard, Simon Sinek, Sheryl Sandberg, my 94yo (yogi!) rock star grandmother & Mother Earth…
