Anne Sophie Goulley

My name is Anne-Sophie POIRIER married to GOULLEY. I am 38 years old and I have been practicing yoga for 12 years. I live in FRANCE, near BORDEAUX, in Soulac sur mer. I discovered the practice of yoga following depression at the age of 26 (2011). I had the chance to do a VIPASSANA retreat in silence for 10 days and I met a person who practiced in a SIVANANDA school, that's where I discovered yoga. Yoga has been an accelerator of my emotional but also physical evolution. As a doctor of pharmacy, in 2015 I joined a Bordeaux association to help women regain self-confidence through the practice of yoga, some of them were my patients, that's when I started teaching yoga by combining my passion and my profession as a doctor through yoga therapies. At the time, I was teaching a hatha yoga class twice a week. I started giving classes in another yoga school in Bordeaux 4 times a week, Sananda yoga. Year after year, class after class, I have grown in experience and teaching, because I very regularly do yoga classes and retreats in various schools (sivananda or at Gérard Arnaud in Paris) and also abroad with the UCPA. Over time, I have been able to develop my teaching skills and above all I like to transmit what motivates me!

I decided last year to go to INDIA for several months (September 2022 to March 2023) with my family and I took the opportunity to complete a yoga teacher training certification in RISHIKESH, the cradle of Yoga. I came out of this grandiose adventure and even more to transmit the best of my means to my students.

Since 2020, I have lived in France on the edge of the Atlantic Ocean in Soulac sur mer. I regularly teach vinyasa yoga and hatha yoga classes on the beach or in a yurt, 3 to 4 times a week. Throughout my childhood, I attended many CLUB MED and I know the CLUB MED philosophy well! I will be very happy to be able to practice and teach yoga abroad at CLUB MED accompanied by my husband. I am a person who listens very well to others and above all is dynamic, smiling and competen

Finally, Yoga is for me much more than a physical practice, it is a philosophy of life, which I practice every morning. I had the chance to do many stages of yoga in many different countries (Sri Lanka, Morocco, Brazil, Costa Rica, Thailand, India, Indonesia etc.) and I was able to enrich myself with different practices and different meetings. . . You have understood, I am passionate and I love teaching and transmitting my passion to my students with kindness and love. Namaste :)

And as I say at the end of each yoga class: “Lokah Samastah Sukhino Bhavantu” May all beings in this world live happily and in peace :) May all my future students from club med and elsewhere leave my class serenely , and well in their body. Thanks for reading, I look forward to this experience in 2024!
