Portrait of a couple in love with yoga: Isabelle and Amaury B.

Happy parents of 2 boys (7 and 10 years old) Amaury and Isabelle are lovers of the great outdoors, yogis and hummingbirds, painters, poets and great athletes. Moving towards positive parenting, zero waste, voluntary simplicity and veganism. In a word, supporters of more love!

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?

Isabelle: We discovered yoga when our eldest son was sick and hospitalized. Yoga then became essential to our lives: a therapy, a philosophy of life and of course, also a set of movements that keep us fit!

Amaury: I started yoga a few years ago and then I stopped. Except that at 39, I had sciatica which really affected my mobility and also my summer vacations. I told myself "you're only halfway through your life, if you want the second half to go well, take care of your body".

What practice for your well-being?

Amaury : For my well-being, 15 minutes of yoga every morning of the week, when I get up.

Isabelle: I practice 30 minutes every morning of the week and between 45 minutes and an hour on Saturday and Sunday.

What is the ritual of your practice?

Amaury: I have 5 videos of 15 minutes, one per day. And every week I redo them.

Isabelle: At 5:20, I get up, walk through the sleeping house, finish everyone's lunch boxes while the wifi starts up. I roll out my mat, choose my online course and off we go!

What do you get out of it?

Amaury: A routine that meets the needs of my body. For example, on Fridays, I do a session dedicated to the neck and shoulders. After a week sitting in front of a computer, I really need it.

Isabelle: For me, yoga is much more than a sport, it is a philosophy of life. Yoga led me to veganism, positive parenting and non-violent communication, among others.

What do you carry in your yoga bag?

Amaury: My ecoyoga mat from Tayrona. ;-) in coral color

Isabelle: my purple ecoyaga rug , a piece of wood found in the Somme Bay which I use as a brick.

What is your favorite object/accessory?

Amaury: My Eco Yoga Coral mat . It's the one I see every morning when I wake up. It's the one that motivates me for my session. I chose one in a rather bright color to brighten up my start to the day.

Isabelle: My EcoYoga Lavender mat ! I really like the feel of the jute under my hands. I find its grip and size perfect.

What would be your advice for Tayrona Yoginis?

Amaury: Adopting a 1/4 hour ritual per day is doable. And the well-being in your body is worth this small investment in time. Afterwards, if possible, do a long session on the weekend.

Isabelle: Yoga is a life story. Nothing is impossible.

Where/how do you practice?

Amaury: At home, when I wake up, in the living room, watching a video on my cell phone.

My wife does the same but we don't follow the same videos. When we're traveling, I like to take a few classes at a local yoga studio.

Isabelle: Same! But what I prefer is when we are traveling and we create sessions for each other based on our favorite sequences.

As soon as the temperatures are mild, I like to practice in the garden even at night. I hear the hedgehogs busy, the birds chirping and the trees rustling.

What is your mantra/favourite phrase?

Amaury: A healthy mind resides in a healthy body.

Isabelle: Be the change you want to see in this world
