SOLEIL ET MER AVEC LOUISE ELLIS
Nous sommes heureux et honorés de recevoir Louise Ellis pour les retraites du mois d’AOUT.
Louise incarne selon nous la vraie essence de la yogini.
Une vie presque entière dédiée au yoga l’a fait devenir une personne dont on peut à fleur de peau percevoir la pureté de coeur, la simplicité, la sérénité intérieure.
Généreuse dans ses enseignements et sans protagonisme exagéré, elle ne cherche ni les louanges ni la renommée bien qu’elle soit parmi les plus importants au monde.
Louise Ellis
Born in Los Angeles, Louise Ellis has been a practitioner of Yoga for over 35 years and an instructor for over 30.
She began her studies in 1971 in traditional Hatha Yoga, pranayama and philosophy under the guidance of the honored Swami Vishnudevanda.
Since that time, she has studied and taught in variouse yoga traditions.
In 1993, Louise went to Mysore to study with Guru Sri K. Pattabhi Jois and was certified by him to teach the Ashtanga Vinyasa system.
She maintains a dedicated daily practice and travels extensively in India to study and to teach.
Her individualized approach to teaching centers on the development of pratyahara and ease in daily practice, through the use of breath, dristhi with an attitude of surrender and bhakti.
“No matter which sequence you happen to be doing at a given time, the important thing is the quality of attention and sense of lightness you bring to it. It’s an art form to approach each days practice without expectation and with a sense of perspective.”
