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.

Emilie BurteMountain guide looking to combine yoga with her activitiesYoga — 2023

I was looking for a yoga training program that would be meaningful to me. Living in Geneva, I was spoiled for choice. Since I like to rely on word of mouth, I heard about Elise from one of her former students. A phone conversation finally convinced me to travel to Aix-en-Provence for my training, and I don’t regret my choice. Elise is passionate and knows how to share all her knowledge, whether in yoga training, meditation, or sports coaching. I can’t thank her enough for her kindness, professionalism, sense of humor, and cheerful disposition, which have been a part of my life for three months now.

An outstanding educator—passionate, inspiring, and so kind! I feel incredibly lucky to have crossed paths with her… and ever since, I’ve been training under her guidance! Elise has a unique ability to teach with subtle insight and such open-mindedness, generosity, and kindness! Experiencing her teaching is magical! Thank you to the one who brought me into her life… Namaste

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.

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.

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 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!!!

Diane AdenotAlready a physical education teacher, wants to explore yoga and teaching itYoga — 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. 

Isabelle ScribotWant to combine teaching yoga with teaching Pilates?Yoga — 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.
