SPR Studio

Yoga, Pilates and Yoga Therapy 

I hold a master's degree in Mechanical Engineering from the École Nationale Supérieure d'Arts et Métiers, one of France’s leading engineering institutions. I began my career as an ERP consultant.

In 2004, as a mother of four boys living in Beijing, China, I discovered Pilates and quickly realized that it had become an essential part of my life. This passion led me to embark on a new career as a Pilates instructor.

​

I trained at Isofit in Hong Kong and became a certified Polestar Pilates instructor in 2006. From 2006 to 2007, I started teaching classes in Beijing. Then, from 2008 to 2012, while living in Singapore, I founded and ran my own studio, [Pink] Pilates. Upon returning to Paris in 2012, I taught mat and reformer classes at Qee Studio and discovered Vinyasa yoga.

​

After relocating to Boston, MA, in 2014, I founded my new studio, SPR, where I continued to teach Pilates. At the same time, I enrolled in Down Under Yoga’s 200-hour Teacher Training, followed by a 300-hour training under the mentorship of Natasha Rizopoulos. Later, I was deeply inspired by Nicole Clark’s healing work and learned extensively through her Power of Touch mentorship. The more I studied, the more I slowed down. In search of stillness, I became a certified Relax and Renew® Level One teacher in 2020 and furthered my anatomy knowledge under the guidance of Judith H. Lasater. Since the pandemic, I have been grateful to deepen my practice and studies in Iyengar Yoga with Patricia Walden.

​

In 2014, I was diagnosed with ankylosing spondylitis, a genetic disease that causes joint inflammation. The more I practice yoga, the less I suffer.

 

In September 2021, I enrolled in the 875-hour Yoga Therapy program with Breathing Deeply, where I am currently completing my practicum for certification. As part of this program, I work with clients facing a wide range of challenges, from physical pain to psychological conditions, integrating yoga postures (asanas), breathwork (pranayama), meditation, and yogic philosophy for a holistic approach to healing.

 

My passion for meditation has led me to deepen my studies through two teacher trainings. The first, with Breathing Deeply, focuses on a unique 3-part meditation model designed to guide personal evolution and support others through their individual stages of development. The second training, with David Magone, emphasizes Mangalam Yantra Yoga, a Buddhist meditation practice dating back to the 10th century, and incorporates breathwork, stress inoculation, and deep relaxation techniques. These experiences have enriched my personal journey and added depth to my teaching.

 

In addition to working one-on-one with clients in both Pilates and Yoga Therapy, I continue to lead group classes, sharing my passion with joy and enthusiasm. My classes are fun, inclusive, and compassionate, fostering a supportive and empowering environment where students can move, breathe, and grow with confidence. Through my teaching, I invite my students to practice introspection, helping them cultivate a deeper awareness of their bodies and minds. My goal is to guide them toward a fuller, more conscious connection with themselves, allowing them to move with strength, ease, and intention.

​

Beyond my professional practice, I find balance and inspiration in trekking with my dogs, immersing myself in nature’s rhythms and energy, which deeply nourish my practice and teaching.

Keep breathing, keep moving!
