In 1995, I was managing the Jean Paul Gaultier boutique on rue du Faubourg Saint Antoine in Paris. Fashion is great, but it's no longer for me.

Major shift towards Southeast Asia.

I discovered the benefits of Thai massage in a small neighborhood massage parlor in Bangkok.

When I got back to my guesthouse, my feet no longer touched the ground, I felt as if I were weightless...

An unprecedented feeling of space and freedom.

It was a revelation, I want to repeat the experience.

I want to learn how to do that, it's wonderful!

I want to share this with whoever wants to…

A few weeks later, my travels took me to Parangtritis in southern Java.

Early in the morning, my neighbor 'dances' in the garden, I am touched by these movements, sequences and unknown positions, It is athletic, it is harmonious, it is powerful, airy, light, luminous... In short, it's love at first sight!

But what exactly is this practice?

And I met Hélène and 'Ashtanga Yoga'.

Please teach me.

A whole new world opened up to me, the beginning of a long journey that continues to this day.
