10-week Yoga Philosophy Course Jan – Mar 2022

26 October 2021 by Valerie Fimat- Faneco

Every Saturday starting January 22, 2022

9 am (London) / 10 am (Paris) / 5 pm (Singapore) / 8 pm (Sydney)

This 10-week practical Yoga philosophy course will dive into the profound teachings that derive from the Yogic tradition. This course was designed for those with an interest in Yoga who have a desire to understand the principles as well as develop ways to use them into their daily lives. Through Yoga philosophy, we begin to understand the way this ancient tradition weaves into our selves, our habits and in turn, our lives.
This course isn’t only a way to learn more about Yogic philosophy, it is primarily a way to create connections, to discuss how we can transform our lives and realise our potentials as human and spiritual beings through the lens of Yoga.

Included in the course

  • weekly live online sessions with our two senior teachers
  • time for Q&As before each live session
  • access to replays to review what we have learnt
  • unlimited & lifelong access to our private Facebook community to ask questions, share, learn with each other and our teachers
  • continuing education credits with Yoga Alliance & Yoga Australia

The teachers

Valerie Fimat-Faneco – Senior Yoga Teacher Trainer and Yoga Therapist

A French citizen, Valerie lived in Singapore from 2004 to 2021. She recently relocated to Perth with her Australian husband and two children. Valerie started to practice in 1994, has taught in the USA, the Netherlands, Australia and Singapore since 1999, and conducted teacher training courses in Singapore since 2008. She still mentors many graduates of past courses who now live all over the world, from the Americas to Europe and Singapore.

Valerie completed more than eight years of training with her mentor Frans Moors in Belgium and at the KYM in India with Mr Desikachar and other senior teachers. Through these long studies and decades of personal practice she has gained expertise in the following areas: postures and their modifications (āsanas), breathing techniques (prānāyāmas), energetic seals (mudrās), the use of sounds and mantras in yoga practice, visualisation techniques, meditation, counselling, Yoga philosophy, and the pedagogy of teaching people of all ages and abilities, including seniors, pregnant women, children and athletes.

As a Teacher Trainer certified under the direct supervision of Mr. Desikachar in 2007, she has been conducting teacher training courses and mentoring yoga teachers.

She has lectured for various schools and organisations in Singapore such as the Singapore Air Force, the Singapore American School, True Yoga, and Touch the Toes.

In March 2012, Valerie translated the bookLiberating Isolation: the Yoga-Sūtra of Patañjali, a commentary of Patañjali’s Yoga-Sūtra by Frans Moors, which was published in India. She occasionally contributes articles to yoga magazines in the region.

Celine Chambat – Yoga Teacher and Therapist

French born, happy mother of 3, she has lived in Lisbon with her family since 2019. She teaches weekly yoga & meditation group classes, regular thematic workshops and gives individual yoga therapy consultations.

Before moving to Lisbon, she spent the previous 20 years in Asia, where her passion for Yoga became a lifestyle. She is a trained Yoga Therapist and founded my own school of Yoga in Singapore in 2014 (Yoga Ways) and then in Lisbon in 2019. She loves helping her students to take ownership of their health & deal with physical or emotional issues with less medical support.

A Certified Yoga teacher & Yoga Therapist in the tradition of Krishnamacharya, she took her first 2-year Teacher Training (RYS500 Yoga Alliance) with EKA Yoga Institute in Singapore, followed by a 3-Year Yoga Therapy Training Programme (Yoga & Santé) with Anne Poirier & Michael Steinbrecher (IFY Institut Français du Yoga), a fascinating very practical course where she was able to go deeper into applications of Yoga tools in supporting physical and mental health. As much as she can, she keeps developing herself through Yoga Studies and has taken several courses in India with Eka Yoga institute & Krishnamacharya Yoga Mandiram.

Joséphine Cantona – Yoga Teacher & Community Manager

Joséphine is a qualified Yoga teacher since 2017 when she did her first training in India. Since then she has explored many aspects of Yoga and found a passion in how the practice can weave into our daily lives and help up manage our mental health. She also specialises in helping people with eating disorders.

Joséphine opened her wellness studio Urban Bliss in Lisbon in 2019 where she teaches, organises retreats and hosts other kinds of healing therapies, all to guide her students and clients to a more balanced and healthier way of life.

In this program, she will be your community manager, she will help organise your ideas and questions to make sure this course is as enriching as possible for each of you.
