“When you practice yoga, you’re not practicing to improve yourself. You are perfect. The practice is there to help you know that.”
— Maty Ezraty, Yogaworks co-founder
YOGA IS FOR EVERYBODY & EVERY BODY
No need to be flexible or to balance on your head; if you can breathe, then you can practice yoga.
Focusing on one-on-one and small groups, I teach Hatha & Vinyasa Yoga, influenced by Iyengar: an alignment-based, mindful practice. I create personalized and unique sequences to facilitate mind and body (re)connection. Students are individually guided through poses and transitions, with precise cues, always adapted to their own bodies and needs.
Each month I work with a specific theme, and for each class, I create a new and unique sequence. Along with asana (poses), all classes include meditation & pranayama.
Because every body is different, I offer several types of classes, so you can find something suitable based on your needs, experience, or mood. If you’re working with a specific condition or would like to receive 1-1 guidance, I also offer private sessions. Book a free 30-min call with me to ask me all your questions !
BONJOUR!
My name is Pauline Bellocq, I am the founder of Voilà Yoga and a 500-hour Yoga Alliance certified yoga instructor (RYT-500). Born in France, professionally trained in the USA, I now call Lisbon home.
After a Masters degree in Business, I worked in the retail tech industry for 12 years, in New-York & Los Angeles. I started practicing yoga in 2012, primarily to ease the stress and pressure of my job. Yoga was my way into self-transformation and living a more mindful life.
In 2014, after a 200-hour teacher training, I started teaching friends & colleagues after-work. In 2016, I completed a professional 300-hour training.
It took me two babies and a pandemic to realize that sharing the gift of yoga is what I enjoy doing above anything else. I created Voilà Yoga, a nomad studio that meets you wherever you are, with the mission of bringing more mindfulness to your personal & professional worlds.
During my 500-hour teacher training at Yogaworks NYC, I am so grateful to have received guidance from awe-inspiring teachers such as Elizabeth J Flint, Chrissy Carter, Laurel Beversdorf, Carrie Owerko or the late Maty Ezraty.
Voilà Yoga is sparingly on social media, but I love receiving emails, and I send out a newsletter every month. Sign up below !
In addition to teaching Yoga, I am combining my international corporate experience with my passion about self-transformation & holistic practices to revamp the workplace culture. In 2024, I created Voilà Wellness to bridge the gap between the worlds of Business and Wellness.
