«Vinyasa Yoga Studio»
Gérard Arnaud, Paris.
Gérard discovered Yoga in 1969. A precursor in France, he has been teaching and conducting Teacher Training programs since 1978. He trains millions of Yoga professionals all over the world.
He developed his own successful Vinyasa Yoga method now widely practiced and taught by Yoga professionals around the world, after spending three years in India with, among others, his master, Sadh Sivalingam in Rishikesh, India in the early 80s. He also studied and gained certifications with great teachers such as BKS Iyengar in Puna and Sivananda in Rishikesh, and, he was a close follower of Pattabhi Jois in both Mysore, India and Maui, Hawaii - a great inspiration for his Vinyasa approach to Yoga. He opened his first Yoga Studio in Paris in 1981.
Gérard currently teaches in Paris in his two Yoga studios as well as all over France. He also travels the world to share his Yoga philosophy and expertise in countries such as India, Canada, the United States, Australia, Europe, Japan and Africa where his Teacher Training Sessions and workshops are a continued and renowned success.
After studying Eastern Philosophy and experimenting various methods of meditation such as Vedanta, Tantra, Vipassana and Zen, Gérard developed a passion for psychosomatology. He has spent years researching this vast and fascinating subject which clearly inspires his generous teachings.
Prisons, orphanages, drug rehabilitation centers... Gérard has taught in all sorts of environments, adapting his teachings to his students’ needs, integrating dialogue through group session with the objective of stimulating each student’s personal positive development.
He teaches all levels, all walks of life and body and he connects teaching with creativity by transmitting his expertise to dancers, mimes, actors, musicians and athletes.
Yoga is a form of art for Gérard, and like all creation, it rests on a rigorous technical foundation which he teaches to create bodily and spiritual harmony.
