Meet Noémie

Having a dedicated Yoga practice since 2009 has been foundational to my journey of growth as a human being. The daily practice of moving inwards has increased my capacity to be reflective, mindful and compassionate. Over the years, I have grown from a place of struggling to accept myself to now enjoying and embracing who I am and what life brings my way.

Through my experience, I have developed a personal philosophy of meeting myself and others from a place of kindness, care and understanding. I believe the desire to find meaning in one’s life is universal. Yoga, for me, has become the channel through which I can shape a more meaningful life.

My calling to teach stems from a place of reverence at the wisdom stored within our bodies and a passion to meet people in this place. My yoga practice, grown across the last 10 years of my life, has led me into the philosophy of Shaiva Tantra and the physical practice of Krama Vinyasa, which have become deeply embedded both on a personal and professional level.  

I’m passionate about self-discovery and growth on a subtle body level, through the exploration of the mind-body connection, yoga philosophy, asana, chanting and pranayama. Inclusivity & accessibility are at the heart of my offerings; I advocate for a more expansive and beautiful life for each, rooted in love and compassion.

My Philosophy

I’m a Stroud-based Yoga teacher with 6 years teaching experience, registered under a 500hATT in non-dual Shaiva Tantra philosophy and the physical practice of Krama Vinyasa.

Using a mindfulness approach is at the core of my offerings. Staying in enquiry helps you to strengthen your ability to become more present and decipher the wisdom communicated through your body. I weave this into the Pancha Maya Kosha map (layers of being) to support a deeper and more integrated sense of self. 

I believe that the body is the source of one’s belonging to this world. When you step into your body, you step into a sacred space. Asana (posture) practice is a mirror that can help reflect different parts of yourself and, when used with intention and purpose, becomes the most tangible medicine in reclaiming your exiled parts. 

At the beginning of each class a specific Bhavana (contemplation) is introduced to inspire you in your practice. You will be encouraged to explore how this theme resonates for you and how to find expression for it through your breath and movement. 

I create a safe, nurturing and laid-back environment where you are able to explore variations of postures that serve you best. The breath-led sequences encourage you to explore and gradually expand your edges in a conscious way. This is amplified by the use of pranayama, mantras and mudras. 

Hands-on adjustments are offered with the understanding that touch provides a direct means of sensing into the parts of you that seek greater connection. The subtle alterations of your body’s response to touch will bring a deeper awareness to areas where movement may be restricted due to habitual patterns of tension. Touch creates a bridge between what is waiting to be revealed, and what then becomes a deeper and wider knowing of your own body.

I believe that Yoga has something to offer to each. That’s why my classes are inclusive and accessible to all. Through practicing Yoga, you engage your breath and your body as the starting point to create a more meaningful relationship with your inner world. This can have a profound and transformative effect on your wellbeing, and your capacity to create, and to live, an authentic and aligned life.

Ahhh… So grateful for the time that I managed to spend abroad over these last few weeks and, particularly, for my motherland to nourish me with its sunshine 🌞 Summer time is drawing to a close and much of the UK has felt autumnal for a while. The seasons are shifting and along with it, I’m finding myself not fully satiated, not exactly recharged and thirsting for more. Sometimes life just goes that way but I feel blessed to be walking the path of Yoga. To be able to sit with myself in the discomfort and trust that my body can contain it and, that energetically, I’m able to hold whatever unfolds. ✨

If I’ve been quiet 🤫 it’s because I’ve spent the last few days at Medicine Festival. It’s been an eye-opener in how communities can gather and so different to the type of partying I’ve previously done! It was the first festival I’d ever gone to on my own and I feel incredibly grateful to have had this time to be able to really drop into myself. I’ve been able to go at my own rhythm and stay present to my body throughout the entire weekend. There was a sincere reverence for nature in the way that the land was cared for with infinite numbers of shrines, decorations and rules. Alcohol-free being one of them helped facilitate a feeling of presence from everyone gathered. The feminine was really supported and helped me connect more deeply to my intuition, my sense of creativity and sense of pleasure. Funny how when you shed some of yourself, life brings experiences that surprise you and that you never expect ✨

Such a beautiful time spent at Medicine Festival… 😌 The land held the gathering so beautifully with its forest, its waters and various textures. 🪶🌲🍄 There was a sincerity in the way that people showed up. The conversations I had and the ones I overheard were infused with a sense of curiosity, intention and meaning-seeking. It was refreshing to be at a festival where music was predominantly expressed by human hands caressing instruments and through song. I’m coming home feeling that I’ve shed a bit of me and more aware of the beauty of simple moments in life 🙏

Such a scrumptious time spent in Paris celebrating 10 years of partnership 💕 It’s been quite the ride and we’ve celebrated with a bang 🥳 The city had us in a sensory explosion - endless food, arts & beauty all around. Feeling grateful to this man for witnessing my growth over a decade, for enabling me to be myself fully and, of course, for being the best boyfriend of Instagram ie. the man behind most photos 😂

I love travelling and immersing myself in different cultures. And, wow… the French do it so well 🔥 The architecture, the arts, the food! There is a philosophy to romance - to doing everything caring for the finest of details just for the love of it, the joy of it and the pleasure of it 💕

I wish I could show you the absolute delight that is my friend @rubysremedies on the other side of the camera… 🥰 Here’s a fraction of what was a heartfelt, insightful and uplifting day with a soul sister ✨

Sooo… I tried something this weekend. And, it didn’t work! 🤷‍♀️ I tried to have fun going to a festival despite knowing that I didn’t have the capacity for it. If you’re wondering why and didn’t read my previous post it’s because, I’m grieving. There would have been a time in my life where I would have pushed through. Probably a mixture of substances and a massive FOMO would have been key components as to why but, I’m not in the business of overriding my nervous system anymore. After all, I have to walk the talk. This weekend was tough - my emotions came to life amongst relentless partying and, let’s be honest, partying sober is really hard! Don’t get me wrong, I love a big sound system and dancing is definitely my love language; I’m just somewhere elsewhere at the moment and it felt nourishing to honour it by coming home early. Previously, I would have been upset with myself. I was definitely the kind of person that would get upset with being upset. Today, I’m smiling looking at the reflection in the mirror (or phone, in this case 😜) Take care of yourselves out there ✌️

This is a tough one … my sweet babcia (grandma) transitioned just over a week ago, on Friday 23rd June 🖤 My grandma was archetypal - not a bad bone in her body, loved to show her affection through cooking and took my #@* from day one. She was the kind of grandma written about in fairytales, the kind that is dreamed of by most but, I, really had one just like that. I recall how she would take me in her arms. So tightly that at points I would feel as though I didn’t have enough air. Today, I wish I could lean into her and enjoy that feeling one last time. My love for her has been amplified through the journey of grief. I so wish I could forever remember the feeling of her touch, her smell and the sound of her laughter. Even though, these are fading now, her death has left me with immense gratitude for the luck I have had to be bounded with her in this lifetime. Thank you all for being understanding about changes in my timetable whilst I travelled back for the funeral. The kindness, love and support received by my community has touched me deeply 🙏

I’m in awe at the beauty of nature. Sure, the colours, the smells, the sounds, the tastes are all a treat for the senses but, it’s also such much more than that. It’s the harshness of the blistering sun, it’s the epic power of thunder, it’s the sense of smallness that a night sky brings and that of expanse during a sunset, the curiosity witnessing a bee at work and the utter hopelessness of natural disasters. In meeting nature, we meet ourselves fully - our inner landscapes require a careful equilibrium too - an internal dance receiving the world through a physiology and, the meaning & sense of purpose that is translated from it. It’s mystery meeting utter clarity… ✨
