I am a French Dharma and Power Yoga teacher in London and love sharing and transmitting my passion for Yoga. I teach private classes as well as public classes, in studios and online.
Whether they are Dharma Yoga or Power Yoga practices, my classes are challenging, inspired by my self-practice and teachers. I always offer variations for all levels but also believe that it is important to be challenged because I can see in my own practice how far willpower and perseverance can take you in your Yoga journey. Be ready to sweat, have fun and leave class feeling stronger and more peaceful, ready to face the challenges of your daily lives.
I started Yoga in 2007 while still a lawyer in the city, practising Power/Vinyasa Yoga. I fell in love with the practice and quickly realised that Yoga was not merely a physical practice but lead to self-enquiry and to a clearer mind. I did my first teacher training in 2015, with Stewart Gilchrist and Amanda Denton at the Light Centre. That year I discovered Dharma Yoga, a graceful and challenging practice, which has become my main practice ever since. I met Sri Dharma Mittra in December 2015 in London and in 2017, flew to New-York to train with him and his team of teachers, completing the 500-hour Life of a Yogi teacher training. Two years later, I went back to New-York for the 800-hour LOAY teacher training. I am eternally grateful to Sri Dharma Mittra, Mark Kan, Emi Tull, Ambra Vallo and my mentors in the trainings.

I regularly attend workshops and train with internationally recognised teachers such as Richard Freeman, with whom I did an intensive 5-day training in London, David Swenson, Jared McCann and Henry Winslow, to name of few. I also completed two 50-hour advanced teacher trainings with Ambra Vallo, in 2018 and 2021. From 2020 to 2023, I practised weekly with Eileen Gauthier, developing not only my own practice under her guidance but also my understanding of the anatomy of the poses.
I am passionate about the philosophy of Yoga and love sharing in my classes the main teachings of the scriptures I study.
I do live a very busy life as a mother of three children and a Yoga teacher and I am reminded every day of the power of Yoga: on my body, as Yoga has help me remain strong and actually build more strength, and on my wellbeing and my mind, as Yoga gives us the tools to find the peace we need when we are so busy off the mat.
TESTIMONIALS
“Having practiced Dharma Yoga with Alix, weekly for about 3 years I cannot recommend her classes highly enough. She brings a special energy to every class, the classes are challenging though fun and never overly serious. She encourages you to try and gives step by step instruction along the way. Her knowledge of the practice is immense and she will always demonstrate and encourage. If you want to advance your practice, I strongly recommend her class !” Bernard
“I started practicing with Alix over 2 years ago and it was the best decision I've made! Love her flow and her style of teaching, she always offers very helpful advice on how to get into the poses and it changed my practice 💗 thank you for being such a great teacher 💗🙏🏼." Klara
“Alix is a unique yoga teacher. Her mastery of Dharma yoga is unimpeachable. She shines by her ability to share this very demanding practice with her students, whatever their abilities, with passion, attentiveness and good humour. Her own practice is an inspiration: a mixture of discipline, strength and grace. She flows seamlessly from pose to pose. Sometimes one feels that she is flying. She is, in her own unique way, a true artist.” Roxane
“Today's dharma workshop was a complete practice 'pranayama, asana and nidra ... whilst we were calmed and cleansed, challenged and then guided through an amazing active meditation ... throughout we were educated about how and why we were doing this strong sequence. Alix is thorough and knowledgeable, her passion for Dharma Yoga shines through, and it is clear she loves to pass all this on to her students. Thank you - a Saturday well spent!” Jane
