I am French Swiss, fluent in English, for the last 20 years I have lived in Asia where I have met the Buddhist Dharma and the joys of Yoga.
For more than ten years I have practiced and developed a Yoga method, inspired by the great Masters BKS Iyengar and Sivananda, which I nourish with heart and awareness. I continue to dive deeply into these practices, attending retreats and workshops with inspiring teachers.
Over the years I have taught in variety of locations like Goa in South India, Switzerland, Thailands premier health resort Chivasom, the Four
Seasons in Chiang Mai, Basunti in India, and regular summer visits at the Yoga Studio, Chiang Mai since 2005.

Testimonials from Talalla guests
Dear Sandra,
Thanks for an amazing yoga retreat!
It was just what I needed.
Thanks for your soothing voice and confidence in us to perform quite challenging asanas, that I didn't think I could do! Well done for trying to make me sit for so long
All the best for the future and may our paths cross again
Namaste

Dear Sandra,
We really enjoyed our practice with you.
We both feel like we improved a bit from last time. Thanks to your kind encouragement and patience! Also, like to thank you for the different meditation sessions. Lastly we really appreciate the time spent chatting with you during dinner. We hope to see you again either in Sri Lanka or even India...!? You are a real inspiration!!
Warm regards,

Dear Sandra,
I have learnt a lot more about yoga this week in our classes with you. The week has helped to open and lengthen my body - especially my back which was in bad shape on arrival!
I have also learned how much further I have to go. Imagine if I only did yoga once a week?
Nothing would happen I will follow up your recommendations in Bali and stay in the yoga path in Australia. Thank you for both pushing me and respecting my limits. You are gently strong & kind. I look forward to the next time we meet wherever that may be.
Best wishes

Dear Sandra - This retreat was truly a "treat". Thank you so much for being so patient and accommodating with my practice level and needs. Your help and encouragement made me feel confident and at ease with myself.
I wish you all the best and hopefully will meet you again in Sri Lanka, in India, in Balo...

Sandra,
After a long period of not listening to my body and losing the connection to it, I now got the feeling that I am much more confident and in tune with it again.
I'm full of energy to transport this awareness into my world back home to live my life with a more relaxed point of view.
So THANKS A LOT - you are the best teacher I could imagine to teach me this new way of thinking.
All the best for you.

Dear Sandra
Thank you so much for a wonderful week of yoga. I haven't practiced for a long while and already feel a lot stronger, refreshed and energised.
Thanks for helping me overcome my fears over inversions! I have always avoided these but am now confident to keep doing them. I will miss the classes when I leave!
All the very best.

Dear Sandra
Many thanks for an educational and motivational yoga retreat. Although I have practiced for a while you have given me a great overview of the "complete picture" which I was missing and needed to understand. Armed with this knowledge I am motivated to continue my practice and learn more.
Feeling flexible and fit. I look forward to our paths crossing again sometime soon.
All the very best.

Dear Sandra,
I'm practising yoga again after more than 3 years and I sincerely appreciate your style of teaching and encouragement which has got me to a point where I know I can and need to practise again regularly. So, thank you very much indeed.
It has been great learning much more about what yoga truly is and how to incorporate it into our daily lives.
I hope I can take a good part of this learning back with me and see a change.
All the best and maybe see you soon!
Best wishes

Dear Sandra,
It was truly a pleasure spending so much time with you over the last two weeks! You greatly enhanced my experience here. Your wisdom, kindness, and encouragement took my practice to a higher level. Found your classes unique and uplifting. Your energy gave me compassion for my body as well as the confidence to try some postures I never thought I could do! I will certainly miss the "high" your classes give me. I wish you continued success in inspiring others. I hope we meet again!
With gratitude,
Jamie McCarthy, Canada
p.s. Thank you so much for all the yoga teacher training info! I'm going to do it!
