Marie-Aude Preau
Instructor & founder

Clear and precise instruction is my specialty, emphasizing on proper alignment to help students improve their form and not injure themselves.
Each class is different and never the same.

We flow with gentle, inspiring music from around the world to promote relaxation or dynamic movement.
With 12 years of teaching experience and over 22 years of practice, I offer a wealth of yoga knowledge that varies depending on the class and student's need.
My daily spiritual practice is where I draw all my strength, all my inspiration, all my motivation to pass on to my classes and is always at the forefront of each class. Giving students a theme to work with for themselves on the mat and off the mat, if they wish to.

I currently teach in the East Mountains of Albuquerque in Sandia Park, NM. Serving all the nearby cities such as Edgewood, Moriarty, Tijeras, Cedar Crest, Sandia Park, Golden, Madrid, Carnuel, Estancia, Cochiti, and Albuquerque, NM.

Holistic Intuitive Health Coaching is fully part of my guidance toward health. As part of the restaurant school I graduated from in Angers, France, I received a nutritional degree. I never thought it would be something I would use in life, little did I know. It's been with me all along.

Vinyasa Yoga Flow

This smooth, intuitive, and fluid yoga practice is my favored type of yoga. I have practiced many other forms of yoga, and like to study other types of yoga from time to time to enrich my own experience as well as my style of teaching such as Anusara, Hatha, Power Flow, Ayengar. These many styles help enhance my ability to teach yoga and further my practice.
I have been teaching this style of yoga for about 11 years now and have developed different approaches to serve students that come to my classes.

Teaching Yoga Is a Special Gift in So Many Ways and I love what I do!

TRAININGS

My trainings took me to the doorsteps of various teachers over the years. Too many to list. The following are the ones that had a profound impact on my yoga journey and on the path of discover to Self.

Kundalini Yoga

Kundalini Yoga was my introduction to yogic practices with the late Yogi Bhajan in Espanola, NM. I studied with numerous of his students and got certified by the 3HO with Ravi Singh Yoga in 1998.

Hatha Yoga, Yoga Sutras, Pranayama

While expanding my search with yogic practices in late 90s and early 2000 I met Dr. Tiwaryj from the Kaivalyadhama Yoga Institute in Lonavla, India http://kdham.com with whom I learned the practice of Hatha Yoga, Pranayama, Cleansing Yogic techniques of the body, the 8 Limbs of Yoga, and the Yoga Sutras as taught by Patanjali.

Surat Shabd Yoga

Since 2011, I am fortunate to be under the tutelage of a living Master of Surat Shabda Yoga also called The Light & Sound Doctrines taught by Sri Gary Olsen, The current Living Master of the Light and Sound Doctrine in America http://www.masterpath.org
I draw from this spiritual practice all my strength and ability to teach. It is my platform to live my life, my dharma, and my vehicle to realize the Self.
I owe all my spiritual growth to this living Master and am eternally grateful for His Divine Essence.

I was Born and Raised in Angers, France. This Region was Named: The Garden of France by the Kings of France.

Anjou Region has a luscious vegetation with mild temperatures that promotes farming, growing fruits including Golden apples, Pear d'Anjou, and large varieties of beautiful flowers. Cointreau liqueur is also made in Angers.

Located in the heart of the beautiful Vallee de la Loire  this region is surrounded by Medieval and Renaissance Castles built around 1100 through 1600.

I grew up partly in the suburbs of Angers also known as la douceur Angevine (the sweetness of Angers), in a small town called Sainte Gemmes sur Loire, along the river La Loire and spent all my summers in the countryside working at the family farm or playing at the beach La Baule.

"From Angers to Orleans is the largest of the richest regions in France with its landmarks. Throughout the region while following the river "La Loire", splendid castles intersperse the countryside, which in itself would owe a visit: villages, beautiful churches, reputable vineyards, green scenery, confer an added dimension to the Castles visits of La Loire. This is why the Val de Loire is a region recognized has UNESCO World Heritage."

Medieval Fortress Castle of Angers built between 13th and 16th century.

The Apocalypse Tapestry is the largest and oldest tapestry made by Jean Lurcat located in Hopital Saint Jean in Angers, built in 12 Century.
