Patricia Iveton teaches yoga in various locations and in various formats

Trained in kundalini at Amrit Nam Sarovar in 2009, she encountered other energetic or somatic practices: Shiatsu, Yin yoga, Dynamic yoga, restorative yoga or even Munz floor.. Her teaching is rich with these practices.

Passionate about the relationship between yoga and the creative process, she has been offering and exploring workshops in collaboration with painters, writers , and dancers since last year.

In the classes, the emphasis is on kindness and self-confidence . Yoga is an art of non-violence . The practice is demanding yet accessible to all.

“ I discovered yoga 20 years ago with Kundalini yoga. From the very first classes, my body changed, the chemistry within me shifted, giving way to new perceptions of the world and a renewed vitality. My mind became sharper and calmer. There is a before and after the yoga experience. Experiencing one's own richness and power, in the body and in the nerves. Everything changes then. ”
