Portrait of Magalie Franche, future yoga teacher
Let me introduce you to Magalie. Magalie is a beautiful person who had the courage to change her life and say stop to the pressure of her old job and to question herself. I met her this summer. We are doing a 200-hour yoga teacher training together with Sharleen in Annecy. She is beautiful and gives off a beautiful energy. Practicing with her is a treat.
I'll let you discover it and introduce yourself.
Magali is 34 years old and has been practicing yoga for about 2 years. Originally from the southwest, she has been lucky enough to live in Annecy for a little over a year. She is currently working on new projects, both personal and professional. There was a turning point in my life a little over a year ago that at first seemed distressing to her but which today makes her say that she is taking the right direction. A new direction made of beautiful encounters and new possibilities...
How did you get to take care of yourself?
I was living on autopilot, whether it was at work or even in my personal life. I had a realization when I came to settle in Annecy and living alone, I felt the ultimate need to listen to my inner voice and all my feelings that had been put aside until then.What practice for your well-being?
Be regular in meditation, yoga and walks by the lake.What is the ritual of your practice?
Meditate every morning, go to yoga at least three times a week, write down my thoughts whenever I feel the urge or need to.What do you get out of it?
More kindness towards myself and towards others. More serenity also in my daily life. I act much more consciously with myself and those around me.What do you carry in your Yoga bag?
The bare minimum is my Prolite Manduka blue mat and my water bottle!What is your favorite object/accessory?
My thought notebook (and my phone ahahah)What would be your advice for Tayrona yoginis?
Take a break in the day to capture the present moment. A few minutes, just focus on yourself, on your sensations, on your feelings and on your emotions.Where / How do you practice?
I practice yoga mainly with Sharleen in a studio in Veyrier but also with Nadia who gives classes at her home in Annecy.I also practice at home and with friends, it's so much nicer to share the spirit of yoga :)
