Portrait of Emilie Titon, yoga teacher in love with life
Emilie teaches viniyoga and vinyasa in Montpellier. Passionate about observing the body between yoga, dance and circus. In love with the simple pleasures of life, such as walks in nature, sharing and exchanging with friends, music and vegetarian cuisine.
It was only natural that I asked him a few personal questions about his yoga practice, which I am sharing with you today.
How did you get into taking care of yourself?
After years of professional and personal life at a frantic pace, my body and mind said stop. I then made a professional reconversion in dance and yoga 5 years ago. This allowed me to completely reconnect, to finally listen and take the time to live. And above all to be on my life path!
What practice for your well-being?
To wake up gently every morning, I take the time to observe nature, its colors, the sky, the birds in order to connect myself to the day ahead. I practice yoga several times a day as well as the piano, which I recently took up again.
It is also very important for me to cook every day with local and seasonal products. It is part of my balance.
What is the ritual of your practice?
I listen to the needs of the day, that is to say how I feel (if I am tired or more agitated), and then I adapt my yoga practice accordingly. My ritual is therefore the observation of the present moment and listening to the body.
What do you get out of it?
Greater balance and a better understanding of myself, which allows me to listen more to others.
What do you carry in your yoga bag?
My water bottle with water and a piece of fresh ginger, to keep in shape.
A notebook with drawings of my practices, which change every week depending on the season and the needs of the students.
What is your favorite object/accessory?
My yoga mat of course!! It follows me everywhere.
What would be your advice for Tayrona Yoginis?
Take time for yourself, treat yourself, take care of yourself... Say yes, say no, be yourself, laugh, love and continue to learn every day.
Where/how do you practice?
Before giving a class, I always arrive early to practice and have some time to myself.
What is your mantra/favourite phrase?
I believe that even in the difficult situations we may encounter in life, there are things to learn and a positive side to be found.
This is why I really like this quote from Confucius: "Joy is in everything, you have to know how to extract it."
