About Me

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
I have had a passion for singing since I was very young. During these last fifteen years, I had the chance to integrate various musical formations, while continuing to study singing and music, which allowed me to enrich my experience both artistically and educationally.

In 2008, I felt the need to share my knowledge with people. I then turned to teaching singing and obtained my diploma in vocal expression (Ecole de la Voix, Annecy), a few years later.

Today I accompany novices, actors, speakers, musicians in the discovery of their vocal and artistic potential. I also lead singing and vocal expression courses throughout the year.

I think the voice is both a magnificent tool for self-development and a treasure that invites sharing and unity with the rest of the world.

This is what I try to convey day after day, as a trainer.

Intrigued by the power of sounds on the body and the mind, I also trained in sound therapy (recognized ASCA diploma) in order to introduce people to an approach to sound based on the care of the soul and the body. I therefore offer sound treatments for those who want it. Chromo-therapy (by colors) and litho-therapy (by stones) are also therapeutic supports that accompany each treatment that I give.

Also, passionate about yoga for several years, during my journey as a practitioner, I had the fabulous encounter with Yin yoga. Amazed and transformed by this approach, I then decided to train myself in this practice (cert.Yoga Alliance) in order to be able to transmit it to others. I am therefore also happy to offer yin yoga classes every week.

Yin yoga has its origins in Traditional Chinese Medicine, Taoist philosophy and its postures are very close to classical yoga as we know it. Yin yoga postures are performed gently and mindfully. They work in depth on the physical, mental, emotional and energetic levels through stretching and deep breathing. Each posture is held for a certain time in order to bring relaxation and appeasement. On the physical level: Yin yoga works on the deep tissues such as the fascias (envelopes of the organs and muscles), the ligaments, the cartilages or the tendons. It therefore allows a release of tension in the body. Yin yoga is excellent for joint health and mobility. Thus the back, hips and pelvis remain mobile and healthy. It also improves breathing and circulation in the body. This practice is also excellent for the heart, lungs, digestive system, kidneys and intestines. It helps strengthen the joints. On the mental and emotional level: breathing and long postures help channel thoughts and bring more inner peace and calm. Yin yoga could be considered as "mindfulness meditation", because each posture is performed with the greatest attention, the greatest gentleness and the greatest respect for its own limits. We never force, we let it happen. On the energy level: this practice allows the recirculation of energy in the body. It has a very beneficial effect on good circulation in the meridians and the chakras. Finally, yin yoga is perfect in addition to more intense physical activities. There are therefore many benefits... Photo Yin yoga class Geneva, SonalohaYin yoga class Improved mobility (flexibility) Health and strengthening of joints and ligaments Fascia health and stretching Back mobility and relief Better circulation of energy in the body Protects the body from possible injuries during intense physical exercises Detoxifying Improves intestinal transit Cardiovascular and lung health Helps to regain energy but also relaxation Improved sleep PMS and menstruation relief Gently accompanies the period of menopause Pregnancy support Stress reduction Bring inner calm Calming of the mind Calming and releasing emotions Helps to let go and accept Can help with meditation practice Can help with knowledge / acceptance of oneself and one's limits The four main principles of Yin Yoga Relax the muscles Unlike more dynamic (more yang) yogas which mainly work on strengthening the muscles themselves, yin yoga will work in depth. For this, it is therefore necessary to relax the muscles, so that the postures can achieve the relaxation of the fascias, tendons and ligaments. Be in the feeling of the posture but without pain We are not trying to go as far as possible. We stand where our body indicates. No more no less. And we let time, the body and gravity operate. (“Wu Wei” spirit). Stay in stillness once comfortably seated in the posture. Except, need, if you want to go deeper in the posture or go back, based on respecting your feelings. Hold a while Always respecting the limits specific to each one. A posture can be held between 2 and 10 minutes. For a beginner class, the postures will be held between 2 and 5 minutes. For who ? Companies, individuals. All levels combined.

Cheslava
Piano and Singing tutor with 5 years experience and professional education
From my childhood I have been studying music and art: sang in choir and solo, played piano, painted, studied music history and literature, solfeggio. Later in college I have also learned choir conducting, had ensemble and choir singing lessons, cultural studies. During last year in university I had pedagogy practice at university and at private art school (where I worked as a music tutor before the war - piano, voice). I truly enjoyed working with students. They all were different age (8 - 40+ years old) and level. But all were very interesting and work was pleasant. My education was very various: my core subjects were conducting, choir, voice, piano. So it allowed me to work with children, teens and adults with quite wide range of interests and needs: some students needed/wanted to learn particular composition(s), sometimes pop songs arrangements, some were interested in “introduction” to the music, some wanted to renew skills they gained in their childhood and continue their journey to the music world. In addition I prepared presentations (which contained information about cultural and historical background and musical and character/art analysis). So after graduation from choir conducting faculty (which allowed me to deepen my knowledge in many important compatible branches) I concentrated on studying classical singing and piano, expanded my cultural studies and analysis knowledge, practiced solfeggio and harmony.
