Claudette Ah-Soon

Claudette is a Suryashtanga, Hunyan Tai Chi teacher and Shiatsu Yin massage therapist. She lives in Montreal since 2013 and represents Surya World in North America.

Grown up at the Reunion Island, she started her research in martial arts in Europe and Asia in 2001. This led her to meet Stéphane Chollet in 2006; the latter became her martial arts teacher and taught her authentic yoga. At the same time, she started a training in Shiatsu Yin in Strasbourg and Paris to increase her understanding of the Eastern energetic arts. She became a Shiatsu practitioner in 2011.

Claudette holds a degree in applied mathematics and worked for several years as a biostatistician for research in the public sector as well as for multinational companies in France and in Switzerland.

Following a transformative trip to India in 2011, Claudette resolved to completely devote her life to Surya World, using teaching and massage therapy to help people get their health in shape, discover and develop their full potential in order to raise more love and awareness.

Bernhard Obojes

Bernhard experienced the benefits of yoga for our physical and emotional well-being when his path crossed with Surya-Montreal in 2016. Encouraged by the efficiency of the techniques suggested by Stéphane Chollet, and the altruistic values on which Surya is based, he completed the yoga teacher training.

Since 2017, Bernhard teaches Suryashtanga yoga to share the practice which allowed himself to find more harmony and fulfillment. He gradually learned more about the wider meaning of yoga behind the physical exercises for which it is known in the West. Yearly trips with Surya-World to India since 2017 helped him to dive deeper into traditional yogic teachings, while at the same time learning about their relevance in today’s world and their complementarity with modern science.

Bernhard is dedicated to contribute his part to the Surya community: to introduce it to more people and create an open space for everyone who is interested in taking a step back from everyday’s life, re-charge and open up to new perspectives.

Dominic Savaria

A practitioner of many sports of all genres, Dominic sees through yoga what no other discipline can bring him, which is an infinite potential for personal development. It was while discovering Surya-Montreal that a growing interest in the practice emerged. From then on, he combines the different aspects of yoga in his daily life to find balance, improve himself and positively influence the people around him.

Manon Mazenod

Manon aims to become a better person day by day and to cultivate peace and love. She began yoga with Surya in October 2018, seeking to develop a wellness practice to become more balanced. She immediately appreciated the holistic, deep and simple approach offered by Surya as well as the different disciplines offered. She quickly found the benefits of yoga and meditation.

Although Manon moved to Sherbrooke in May 2019, she continued a personal practice almost daily, keeping the link with Surya. It was when Karla Alvarez Quintanar, the co-founder of Surya, came to Montreal for a training on Ayurveda that Manon had the idea to undergo the yoga teacher training.

Her first motivation to follow the yoga teacher’s training is personal: better connection and knowledge of oneself and one’s body, better balance of life and emotions etc., then in a second step, she wishes to allow others to feel good and develop through this practice.

Manon is also very curious about spirituality and wishes to build bridges and explore the common points between the different sprirtual traditions of our world: oriental, native, Christian, etc. in order to understand what unites humans. Manon wishes to share her experience, her benevolence, the simplicity of life, her love for humans and nature.
