About Opale<\/h4>\n

Experience<\/h2>\n

Opale has been practising yoga steadily since 1995.<\/p>\n

She discovered Yoga during one of her numerous trips to India. She became aware of her body seriously lacking flexibility and muscles. She had been suffering from chronic lower back pain, sciatica, as well as excessive stress for several years. The daily practice of Yoga became the only way to maintain the new painless body.<\/p>\n

For 15 years, she traveled the world. She lived in India for a few months each year and studied different types of yoga: Iyengar Yoga (focused on alignment), Astanga Vinyasa Yoga (focus on Udjaih Breath and Bandhas), Vinyasa Flow or Power Yoga alternating with the study of Vishranta, Restorative Yoga. More recently she integrates Mindfulness into the Yoga practice, according to the teachings of Hugh Poulton.<\/p>\n

In 2005, she settled and since then is mainly teaching in Ibiza.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Inspiration<\/h2>

\"\"In all Yoga practice, there is an element of grace (pras\u00e2da), which is unpredictable. It is the grace of the Divine Being.<\/em><\/p>\n

Georg Feuerstein<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Creativity<\/h2>

\"\"There is a powerful driving force inside every human being that, once unleashed, can make any vision, dream, or desire a reality. <\/em><\/p>\n

Tony Robbin<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Sincerity<\/h2>

\"\"Always try your best, without trying to be THE best, and let time do the rest! <\/em><\/p>\n

Mindfulness has become a focal element in Opale\u2019s classes, following the perspective of her mentor Hugh Poulton<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Opale teaches since 2005 in Ibiza. She really appreciates the quiet of Ibiza, the peaceful beauty of its nature and its mystical remote places, so propitious for Yoga practice. Which is why she chose to live and teach there. She is also a dedicated mother. Since 2008, she has taught and led more than a hundred retreats in Ibiza.<\/p>\n
