Alexandra Geraci is a younger yoga teacher, certified by her 200-hour training in Ashtanga Vinyasa yoga in June 2022 by the Nydum center in Spain. Originally from Troyes, Alexandra also holds a diploma in musical studies from the Regional Conservatory in Reims for the violin.

WATCH A VIDEO OF OUR CONVERSATION WITH ALEXANDRA (IN FRENCH).

She began teaching yoga with private lessons for a year. Because she trained in English, she was able to teach to English-speaking groups, notably at the Alaya Retreat Center, also in Spain.

Once she arrived in Paris in September, 2023, Alexandra began teaching in Parisian studios and for a corporate clientele.

Open to the world and a lover of learning, Alexandra will guide you with great care, attention and compassion. Her approach will help you feel vitalized at the end of each session. Her vinyasa classes are dynamic and organized around a philosophical or spiritual intention, which will carry you throughout the class.

She especially enjoys the sharing that can take place between teacher and student, in the sincerity of bodily sensations, mental and emotional formations that arise during a class. She likes to see her students evolve, to get to know them and to guide them through their practice.

A former automotive engineer, Gregory was always fascinated by how human nature worked.

He first developed a deep practice of the martial arts before discovering yoga in 2017. He found it deepened his existing practices and awareness and eventually decided to pursue advanced training in yoga.

Drawn to Vinyasa, which seemed a logical extension of the movement-based martial arts, he completed his first two-year teacher training with Mira Jamadi (2018-2019).

He recently completed teacher training in Yin Yoga with Cécile Roubaud et Valentina Duna (2022) in order to deepen his understanding of release and letting go.

The culture of yoga also drew him to ayurveda, and he completed a training in ayurvedic massage in 2020 with Vanessa Gheorghiu.

In his teaching, Gregory combines tradition yogic meditation and postural practices with energetic practices drawn from the martial arts, inspired by both yogic and Taoist philosophy. He remains deeply interested in human functioning and continues to enrich his exploration of human nature with Qi Gong, Kung Fu and of course yoga.

Today, Gregory offers a practice adapted to every body, teaching yoga and Kung Fu in a variety of centers.

Catherine Valla teaches a gentle yoga that builds self-confidence, serenity and grounding by a deepened contact with yourself. She will help you develop greater breath capacity, learn how to let go and calm your mind to live more freely in the present moment.

Catherine trained at the Ecole française du yoga in paris (900 hours, 4 year teacher training) with Gianna Dupont, Jean Pierre Laffez and Annie Hamelin in the tradition of Roger Clerc. She continues her training at the Académie du Yoga de l’énergie of Ile-de-France.

Her teaching is based on building flexibility through stretching, along with strength and relaxation in the whole body, harmonizing the entire body while respecting its anatomical realities. Once the body has unwound, it becomes available for more subtle breath work and conscious gestures. In postures, attention will be paid to inner sensation and mental release.

Ariane Guitton has been teaching yoga since 2008 as a natural extension of her career as a dancer and choreographer.

She sees daily practice as an invitation to return to the self and to take care of all of its different parts with compassion and curiosity. Returning, day after day, to the heart of the breath grounds her and gives her a deep feeling of unity.

In her classes, Arianne hopes to bring each student back to the pleasure of being in the body, to feel alive, connected and open to listening to all that emerges from the inner self. 

She draws from all the teachings she has received over the years to create sequences where everyone can explore their own rhythm, develop their balance and stability, all the while renewing themselves in the breath and in the release of bodily movements.

She has studied Vinyasa Yoga with Gérard Arnaud, Yin Yoga with Biff Mithoefer, Vinyasa Krama (the Energetics of Sequencing) with Rod Stryker, Yoni Shakti Yoga with Uma Dinsmore-Tuli, and Pranayama and Prana vyayama with Maitri Yoga Vedas, among others.

Pamela Weber, one of NATA's co-founders, has been practicing yoga since 2001.

She did her first two-year vinyasa yoga teacher training with Gérard Arnaud in Paris from 2001-2003, followed by a second program in the United States with Tom Gillette of Eyes of the World Yoga in Providence, RI from 2008-2009.

She gives classes in Hatha Flow, Hatha, Gentle yoga and Meditation.

She tends to give a teaching at the beginning of each class drawn from the rich history, philosophy and culture of yoga. She then works with the breath to establish a strong connection to this vital life force before moving into posture work.

Her eight years as a university professor gave her a vast grounding in pedagogy more generally, which she brings to her yoga teaching in Paris.

In 2021, Pamela went back to school to begin a second Master's degree in Asian Studies at the École de hautes études en sciences sociales. She is preparing a thesis on the lineage of a twentieth-century yoga guru from Gujarat, Swami Kripalu.

Sophie has been teaching postural yoga since 1998, always with enthusiasm and amazed by the vitality, movement and good health that results.

Her training in yoga took place in many studios, assimilating different techniques (Peter Goss, Iyengar Paris, Sivananda....) and over the course of twenty-plus trips to India, Nepal and Bhutan.

Her teaching is rigorous, joyful and optimistic, and is supported by her studies of anatomy. The body likes it when we dive in and start working with it sincerely.

Since 2020, she has been collaborating with Christophe Luxereau, aquatic educator and coach, to design workshops on "Yoga for swimmers," aimed at high-level athletes.

Her exploration of yoga pedagoy is the reflection of her life experience, which has been open to many bodily disciplines. She trained in massage and began practicing in 2003; she also trained in meditation (Buddhist and Vipassana retreats), and ayurvedic medicine. She's also interested in somatic techniques such as Feldenkrais, Alexander, BMC), which have become important tools to refine her work and enrich her classes.

Dance, and  more particularly spontaneous composition, has also become of the pieces of her research into body and movement. She is currently doing professional training with the "Corps Sismographe" group, which is helping to cement an exploration of the body as a somatic sensibility.

Sophie is also interested in pre- and post-natal yoga (trainings with Bernadette de Gasqeut and Blandine Calais-Germain), which requires focused attention and unending adjustments. The deep and intense work of this type of yoga, integrating the perineum, the organs, the diaphragm and the ways they collaborate in a strong, flexible, comfortable, stable body have progressively become the central axis of her practice and teaching.

When she's not in the yoga studio, you can find Sophie in the dance studio or in her massage studio in Paris' 11th arrondissement. But always in connection with the body, sensations, breathing; a physical, somatic and imagined body, connected to life, to animal and plant worlds. A joyful body, sensitive, creative, vibrating.

Professional dancer-actor and yoga instructor, passionate about health and well being for years, Derwinn Green was drawn to the practice of yoga, not only as a philosophy that stems from the physical body, but also as a way of life.  In 2004, during his university studies in dance pedagogy and theater, he began to practice Iyengar yoga with Janet Lilly. He later completed a professional hatha yoga teaching certification under the tutelage of Christophe Millet (Ecole du Souffle, La Rochelle, France) and shortly thereafter, a complementary certification program in « Yoga for Seniors » at the International Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Center. In addition to dance and yoga, he is also a certified calisthenics instructor, CQP ALS AGEE (Calisthenics Training and Body Expression) through the French organization Sports pour Tous. Since 2011, he has taught yoga and meditation to diverse publics, both in group and private sessions. He also animates themed workshops.

"In a friendly and non competitive atmosphere, I will guide you through a soft but dynamic practice, while always respecting tradition. My classes are structured as a progression, a « work in progress » with a contemporary approach that addresses all persons, regardless of mobility. The goal of a posture is to place the body in an anatomical position that will stimulate and balance one or several functions of the body-mind. If a posture is executed correctly, each participant will be able to receive the same benefits, regardless of their level of flexibility or degree of strength."

His classes will help you:

• Effectively control and diffuse energies by using respiratory exercises

• Create harmony in your body with the execution of postures

• Refine your perceptions, enhance your mobility and improve your muscle tone

• Increase your range of motion via a complete, integrated approach

Catherine Valla teaches a gentle yoga that builds self-confidence, serenity and grounding by a deepened contact with yourself. She will help you develop greater breath capacity, learn how to let go and calm your mind to live more freely in the present moment.

Catherine trained at the Ecole française du yoga in paris (900 hours, 4 year teacher training) with Gianna Dupont, Jean Pierre Laffez and Annie Hamelin in the tradition of Roger Clerc. She continues her training at the Académie du Yoga de l’énergie of Ile-de-France.

Her teaching is based on building flexibility through stretching, along with strength and relaxation in the whole body, harmonizing the entire body while respecting its anatomical realities. Once the body has unwound, it becomes available for more subtle breath work and conscious gestures. In postures, attention will be paid to inner sensation and mental release.

Alexandra Geraci is a younger yoga teacher, certified by her 200-hour training in Ashtanga Vinyasa yoga in June 2022 by the Nydum center in Spain. Originally from Troyes, Alexandra also holds a diploma in musical studies from the Regional Conservatory in Reims for the violin.

WATCH A VIDEO OF OUR CONVERSATION WITH ALEXANDRA (IN FRENCH).

She began teaching yoga with private lessons for a year. Because she trained in English, she was able to teach to English-speaking groups, notably at the Alaya Retreat Center, also in Spain.

Once she arrived in Paris in September, 2023, Alexandra began teaching in Parisian studios and for a corporate clientele.

Open to the world and a lover of learning, Alexandra will guide you with great care, attention and compassion. Her approach will help you feel vitalized at the end of each session. Her vinyasa classes are dynamic and organized around a philosophical or spiritual intention, which will carry you throughout the class.

She especially enjoys the sharing that can take place between teacher and student, in the sincerity of bodily sensations, mental and emotional formations that arise during a class. She likes to see her students evolve, to get to know them and to guide them through their practice.

Pamela Weber, one of NATA's co-founders, has been practicing yoga since 2001.

She did her first two-year vinyasa yoga teacher training with Gérard Arnaud in Paris from 2001-2003, followed by a second program in the United States with Tom Gillette of Eyes of the World Yoga in Providence, RI from 2008-2009.

She gives classes in Hatha Flow, Hatha, Gentle yoga and Meditation.

She tends to give a teaching at the beginning of each class drawn from the rich history, philosophy and culture of yoga. She then works with the breath to establish a strong connection to this vital life force before moving into posture work.

Her eight years as a university professor gave her a vast grounding in pedagogy more generally, which she brings to her yoga teaching in Paris.

In 2021, Pamela went back to school to begin a second Master's degree in Asian Studies at the École de hautes études en sciences sociales. She is preparing a thesis on the lineage of a twentieth-century yoga guru from Gujarat, Swami Kripalu.

At the crossroads of meditative yoga and sound baths, Alisonns offers her "Yin Yoga Sound" classes at NATA, which help release the body and encourage your imagination to wander.

She accompanies each class with poetry readings, song and live music from a variety of instruments (Tibetan bowls, shruti box, koshis, kalimbas, etc.), in order to open a space of inner awareness that allows the body to drop into itself and experience the art of slowing down.

For over ten years, Alisonne has explored the worlds of improvised dance, listening to self and others, and the creativity that passes through the body in movement.

In 2019, she decided to train in the yogas that brought her the most freedom and joy: yoga nidra with Uma Dinsmore and Philippe Beer-Gabel and Yin Yoga with Cécile Roubaud.

A long-time fan of music and sound, she later decided to train in sound therapy with Miky Lagadec.

Ariane Guitton has been teaching yoga since 2008 as a natural extension of her career as a dancer and choreographer.

She sees daily practice as an invitation to return to the self and to take care of all of its different parts with compassion and curiosity. Returning, day after day, to the heart of the breath grounds her and gives her a deep feeling of unity.

In her classes, Arianne hopes to bring each student back to the pleasure of being in the body, to feel alive, connected and open to listening to all that emerges from the inner self. 

She draws from all the teachings she has received over the years to create sequences where everyone can explore their own rhythm, develop their balance and stability, all the while renewing themselves in the breath and in the release of bodily movements.

She has studied Vinyasa Yoga with Gérard Arnaud, Yin Yoga with Biff Mithoefer, Vinyasa Krama (the Energetics of Sequencing) with Rod Stryker, Yoni Shakti Yoga with Uma Dinsmore-Tuli, and Pranayama and Prana vyayama with Maitri Yoga Vedas, among others.

She gives classes in Hatha Flow, Hatha, Gentle yoga and Meditation.

She tends to give a teaching at the beginning of each class drawn from the rich history, philosophy and culture of yoga. She then works with the breath to establish a strong connection to this vital life force before moving into posture work.

Her eight years as a university professor gave her a vast grounding in pedagogy more generally, which she brings to her yoga teaching in Paris.

In 2021, Pamela went back to school to begin a second Master's degree in Asian Studies at the École de hautes études en sciences sociales. She is preparing a thesis on the lineage of a twentieth-century yoga guru from Gujarat, Swami Kripalu.

Professional dancer-actor and yoga instructor, passionate about health and well being for years, Derwinn Green was drawn to the practice of yoga, not only as a philosophy that stems from the physical body, but also as a way of life.  In 2004, during his university studies in dance pedagogy and theater, he began to practice Iyengar yoga with Janet Lilly. He later completed a professional hatha yoga teaching certification under the tutelage of Christophe Millet (Ecole du Souffle, La Rochelle, France) and shortly thereafter, a complementary certification program in « Yoga for Seniors » at the International Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Center. In addition to dance and yoga, he is also a certified calisthenics instructor, CQP ALS AGEE (Calisthenics Training and Body Expression) through the French organization Sports pour Tous. Since 2011, he has taught yoga and meditation to diverse publics, both in group and private sessions. He also animates themed workshops.

"In a friendly and non competitive atmosphere, I will guide you through a soft but dynamic practice, while always respecting tradition. My classes are structured as a progression, a « work in progress » with a contemporary approach that addresses all persons, regardless of mobility. The goal of a posture is to place the body in an anatomical position that will stimulate and balance one or several functions of the body-mind. If a posture is executed correctly, each participant will be able to receive the same benefits, regardless of their level of flexibility or degree of strength."

His classes will help you:

• Effectively control and diffuse energies by using respiratory exercises

• Create harmony in your body with the execution of postures

• Refine your perceptions, enhance your mobility and improve your muscle tone

• Increase your range of motion via a complete, integrated approach

Alexandra Geraci is a younger yoga teacher, certified by her 200-hour training in Ashtanga Vinyasa yoga in June 2022 by the Nydum center in Spain. Originally from Troyes, Alexandra also holds a diploma in musical studies from the Regional Conservatory in Reims for the violin.

WATCH A VIDEO OF OUR CONVERSATION WITH ALEXANDRA (IN FRENCH).

She began teaching yoga with private lessons for a year. Because she trained in English, she was able to teach to English-speaking groups, notably at the Alaya Retreat Center, also in Spain.

Once she arrived in Paris in September, 2023, Alexandra began teaching in Parisian studios and for a corporate clientele.

Open to the world and a lover of learning, Alexandra will guide you with great care, attention and compassion. Her approach will help you feel vitalized at the end of each session. Her vinyasa classes are dynamic and organized around a philosophical or spiritual intention, which will carry you throughout the class.

She especially enjoys the sharing that can take place between teacher and student, in the sincerity of bodily sensations, mental and emotional formations that arise during a class. She likes to see her students evolve, to get to know them and to guide them through their practice.

Catherine Valla teaches a gentle yoga that builds self-confidence, serenity and grounding by a deepened contact with yourself. She will help you develop greater breath capacity, learn how to let go and calm your mind to live more freely in the present moment.

Catherine trained at the Ecole française du yoga in paris (900 hours, 4 year teacher training) with Gianna Dupont, Jean Pierre Laffez and Annie Hamelin in the tradition of Roger Clerc. She continues her training at the Académie du Yoga de l’énergie of Ile-de-France.

Her teaching is based on building flexibility through stretching, along with strength and relaxation in the whole body, harmonizing the entire body while respecting its anatomical realities. Once the body has unwound, it becomes available for more subtle breath work and conscious gestures. In postures, attention will be paid to inner sensation and mental release.

Ariane Guitton has been teaching yoga since 2008 as a natural extension of her career as a dancer and choreographer.

She sees daily practice as an invitation to return to the self and to take care of all of its different parts with compassion and curiosity. Returning, day after day, to the heart of the breath grounds her and gives her a deep feeling of unity.

In her classes, Arianne hopes to bring each student back to the pleasure of being in the body, to feel alive, connected and open to listening to all that emerges from the inner self. 

She draws from all the teachings she has received over the years to create sequences where everyone can explore their own rhythm, develop their balance and stability, all the while renewing themselves in the breath and in the release of bodily movements.

She has studied Vinyasa Yoga with Gérard Arnaud, Yin Yoga with Biff Mithoefer, Vinyasa Krama (the Energetics of Sequencing) with Rod Stryker, Yoni Shakti Yoga with Uma Dinsmore-Tuli, and Pranayama and Prana vyayama with Maitri Yoga Vedas, among others.

You can learn more about her on her website.
