Elise is a wonderful and very humble teacher who knows how to convey her passion for yoga, meditation, sports, and spirituality in an accessible and professional manner. She has been exploring these subjects in depth for a long time, and her teaching is enriched by her long journey on the path to consciousness. Her teaching is informed by wisdom and knowledge drawn from both the traditions of the past and the science of today.

I completed two certification courses with Elise through Explore Training (Vinyasa Yoga Teacher / Meditation and Compassion). The courses are comprehensive, and Elise is a very attentive and caring teacher. She opens our eyes to new possibilities with her positive, radiant energy—not to mention her signature touch of humor! Don’t hesitate to sign up for her courses—you’ll discover a supportive community and a top-notch team. So come join the dance!

Elise shares teachings of immense depth and value, filled with wisdom. She was my first Vinyasa yoga instructor several years ago, and I now follow her teachings on meditation and compassion. Her teachings have enabled me to transform many aspects of my life in a positive way and have greatly enriched my own teaching of yoga. She is a soul who always teaches from the heart.

Our weekly sessions are so important that missing them is simply not an option for me. Elise is teaching me to accept myself just as I am. She sees the big picture, yet she’s also extremely pragmatic and knows how to pinpoint what’s right, offering concrete solutions. Above all, Elise’s kindness is unwavering; she listens without judgment and offers practical tools drawn from her extensive knowledge and an extremely organized mind.

I took a self-compassion meditation course taught by Élise, a positive, pragmatic, and joyful teacher. Her teaching is a rigorous synthesis of years of practice and research. The course has enabled me to use simple meditation tools in my personal and professional life. I feel more at peace and am better able to step back from stressful events. This is the beginning of a journey that I will continue to develop and deepen with Élise.

This yoga training has given me confidence in my own potential. Beyond the knowledge itself, it helps us develop a whole new mindset—not only in our practice but also in our everyday lives. I’ve also learned a great deal from studying the philosophy of yoga. These insights allow me to take a step back and view everyday situations with greater perspective.

Here are a few lines to share my reflections on this wonderful immersion in Buddhist meditation and wisdom that Elise helped us experience: for me, this immersion was an opportunity to get back to the essentials. Always with kindness, humor, and humility, Elise shared valuable teachings with us that make a huge difference in how we perceive things. She guided us toward a freer approach to meditation, which has made my personal practice much more fluid, much more expansive, natural, and above all, nomadic.

Elise is one of those people who help others open up and discover themselves. For me, immersing myself in meditation opened a door and allowed me to step into a world I didn’t know. I’ve learned to feel comfortable with meditation, to expect nothing, and just to be present with what is, in the here and now. A wonderful journey that’s only just beginning……
