When I first contacted Élise, she replied very quickly. This was followed by a professional and high-quality phone conversation. Élise makes herself available whenever needed; she is infinitely kind and inspires us to believe in ourselves. “Impossible” is not in Élise’s vocabulary.

The practice of yoga has taken on its true meaning of union, of openness to oneself and to everything around us. With gentleness. With quiet strength. Peacefully. No performance. No competition. No judgment. Just light. Another adventure lies ahead: that of sharing it and passing it on. On your marks… I’m ready!! Thank you, Élise, for your immense kindness, your warmth, and your generosity.

On a more personal level, Elise’s training has given me a great deal of self-confidence; I see myself growing, taking risks, and following through on what I want (in all areas of my life). Even though I still feel a little apprehensive in the heat of the moment, those feelings don’t last very long. I’m able to overcome my doubts and mental blocks by taking the leap, which ultimately allows me to naturally resolve a situation or overcome a fear I might be feeling. I feel like I’ve grown, with great confidence in who I am, and I thank Elise a thousand times over—and even more—for that.

Elise’s training program is a wonderful journey of self-discovery. Kindness, energy, challenge, attentiveness, professionalism… that’s how I’d describe the essence of this training. Elise is an exceptional instructor, and her warm, caring nature helps everyone move forward with confidence on the path to teaching yoga. A huge thank you, Elise, for this past year together.

I thought I was managing my training pretty well until I met Élise. With kindness and a willingness to listen, Élise was able to design a program that was perfectly tailored to my life and my goals, and that kept me constantly improving. And I’ve seen my fitness level improve steadily without feeling any pressure. More than just a fitness coach, Élise is a life coach, dedicated to her athletes on every level—physical, emotional, and beyond. Her calm guidance helps me keep moving forward. Thank you, Élise!

I thank Elise from the bottom of my heart for everything she has given me during this training program, with its comprehensive approach to yoga and so much more: philosophy, anatomy, history, pedagogy, and an in-depth exploration of physical and breathing techniques. A teacher with a truly generous heart, Elise is a deep listener and shows sincere attention to each person. She has given me a solid foundation that gives me the confidence to teach a style of yoga that reflects who I am and to feel free to be myself. She has also given me the courage to dare to explore new paths, which continues to help my yoga practice evolve.

Sandrine ReyWants to combine yoga with naturopathy and rock climbingYoga — 2021

Élise is someone who, I believe, gave each of us the freedom to be ourselves during the training. I think this is an essential factor in enabling a person to develop their practice, deepen it, and continue to discover themselves (body and mind). Succeeding in offering something so valuable amid the complicated circumstances of the health crisis (virtually the entire training took place on Zoom) could have been a daunting challenge. But above all, Élise demonstrated great experience and a great deal of sincerity in her approach as a teacher.

Claire RaybaudWants to deepen their yoga practice, share it with others, and—why not?—combine it with their other activityYoga — 2021

I was really looking forward to this training. Even though it was online, Élise knew how to adapt her approach and the content. Everything went very smoothly. It was a rich training experience that allowed us to explore the philosophy and history of yoga, as well as the practice itself through body alignment, anatomy… It had it all. I couldn’t wait to meet Élise, a true authority on yoga and a pioneer in our field. Thank you ???? for everything. Because I know this isn’t over yet.

Elise’s training program is so much more than just a yoga course: it’s a comprehensive, caring, and lasting journey of support. I had an AMAZING year on the path of yoga—the path to trusting who we are! Teaching yoga with sincerity and authenticity: the greatest gift of all!!!
