Portrait of a yogini curious about life: Emilie Leduc
Let me introduce you to Emilie Leduc. Emilie is a Hatha and Vinyasa yoga teacher in Paris and creator of the blog MyhappyYoga. An offbeat blog that shares her experiences as a yogi. She defines herself, above all, as a curious and adventurous yogini. What she likes most is meeting people, discovering and exchanging. Yoga has taken a big place in her life and to share this passion with her students, she organizes, in addition to her classes, yoga retreats in Tunisia.
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?
At a point in my life when I didn't really have a choice. I had fallen so low that I could only go back up! I stopped working, I left aside all the faults and addictions that were hurting me and I discovered yoga. With it, I met people who seemed ordinary but whose advice and presence were extraordinary for me.
What practice for your well-being?
Yoga, obviously!
What is the ritual of your practice?
My yoga ritual is every day, all the time! Yoga is a way of life that has been part of my daily life for several years now. Of course, it doesn't only involve physical practice. Being present in everything I do, whether I'm working, peeling carrots or brushing my teeth, that's the key.
What do you get out of it?
A deep balance and true serenity.
What do you carry in your yoga bag?
I don't have a yoga bag per se. I already spend my days lugging around my yoga mat, that's enough :)
What is your favorite object/accessory?
Haha, I'm picky but I'll be honest.. I don't have one and actually prefer not to have one. Imagine if I had one and lost it? Catastrophe! :) I prefer not to get too attached to the material :)
What would be your advice for Tayrona Yoginis?
Don't try to be anyone other than yourself.
Where/how do you practice?
Everywhere, with or without carpet.
What is your mantra/favourite phrase?
“I'm too busy working on my own grass to see if yours is greener. »
