Suzy is product manager in the child fashion industry and has been teaching yoga since 2007.

She has been interested in the foundations of yoga practice since her very first classes. On discovering the ancient texts, Suzy realised that the postural yoga she encountered in Europe was fundamentally different from the traditional teachings.

Following her teacher training, Suzy participated in numerous courses and workshops, which enabled her to increase her knowledge of biomechanics and postures. However, she gradually oriented her practice towards meditation. Despite her efforts she found the direction of the teachings she encountered fairly limited, with methods that did not seem appropriate for a Westerner.

During the summer of 2010, she met Stéphane and the Surya team and she decided to join them. The particularly relevant approach of the teachings provided and philosophy of the group convinced her to take an active part running the organisation.

She is deeply convinced that the combination of the physical workout and the mental and spiritual practices proposed by Surya offer a coherent and modern method of accessing the richness of the forgotten traditional teachings of Patanjali’s 8 Limbed Yoga.

Marine works in the field of renewable energies and has been practicing yoga since 2012 and teaching since 2017. She initially encountered yoga during her studies in India and discovered it as a wonderful tool to balance both body and mind.

Mathias is an Osteopath and a Yoga teacher. In his words:

“From my point of view these two disciplines are very complementary, in their therapeutic and preventive perspectives. I think that Osteopathy is the Western therapy that best makes the connexion between East and West, particularly through the study of practical and abstract, or subtle, anatomy with fascias and energetic fields or channels…”

Marie-Sophie works as a public sector consultant. She joined Surya World in 2015 and understood that Yoga was not limited to simple postures but consisted in a complex science of self development, culminating towards altruism and others assistance.
