What you will study
Asana
Asana (posture) is a Sanskrit word which means comfortable sitting. You will practice them to manage to sit in meditation without discomfort.
Pranayama
Pranayama is much more than a breathing exercise. "Prana" means breath and "Ayama" means control and expansion; by combining the two, pranayama means: to concentrate its energy to better direct and increase it.
Mantra Chanting
It’s the vibration of the primordial sounds of mantras helps the union of body and mind.
Alignments
The role of a yoga teacher is to position the student in perfect alignment, that is to say an effortless support of the body while respecting everyone's structure. You will therefore focus on the various adjustments that will allow progress to be made towards this alignment.
Meditation
Observing your breathing allows us to calm our thoughts, and therefore to calm the "monkey mind". Coinspire teaches this age-old technique, common to yoga and Buddhism. In addition to this meditation which comes from the Himalayas, you will also approach the techniques of sound meditation with Tibetan bowls, the process of yoga nidra, and also meditative healing techniques.
Teaching methodology
The methodology, in a benevolent environment for the students, gives the tools to build lessons on different themes, create a benevolent atmosphere in the class, introduce different yoga practices, develop a relationship of trust student teacher, and increase self-awareness.
Anatomy and physiology of yoga
The link between the body's mechanisms and the postures will bestudied. It is also important to link anatomy and philosophy: "all that is above is like that which is below."
Philosophy of yoga
Beyond the systemic study of the subtle bodies, you will study the principles of yogic life as they are described in the Bhagavad Gita and the yoga sutras of Patanjali.
Kinesiology
It’s the art of healing stress: the body speaks to you if you know how to interpret its messages. It speaks to us both in terms of chronic pain and somatization. And if it is expressed in pain, it can also help you understand yourself in a much softer way through muscle biofeedback. Ever since childhood, one lives painful emotional experiences which are forgotten but nevertheless active and therefore put in place, subconsciously, leading to conditioning and avoidance. Your history is memorized at the cellular level and it is enough to interrogate the body to have access to it.
Emotional body language
It means the integration of body, mind and spirit. The purpose of this art of healing is to identify and correct energy blockages as they appear in the present, both physically and psychically, in order to free the mind from conditioned belief systems that limit your perception in all areas of life.
Gordon Stokes, creator of a kinesiology current said: "To summarize the nature of what we do: we defuse the emotions of the past that block perceptions of the present: if we do not defuse the causes of the problem in the past, no action taken in the present survives the next similar stress.”

Instructors
Corinne Burgalière
Co-creator of Coinspire yoga, board member of Rishikesh yogpeeth for 12 years, Corinne chose the path of traditional yoga upon her arrival in India in 2008. She teaches kinesiology in several yoga centers there. For her, it is the complementary tool of the physical practice of asanas, at the same time as the muscular test allows a discovery of the deep self, therefore an evolution of consciousness. Corinne sees life as a bursting kaleidoscope of colors. According to her, these colors can vibrate in unison if one succeeds in harmonizing one's different states of consciousness.
Jamal Burgalière
Jamal started yoga in 2015 by training with Coinspire. An event (a tornado where he lost everything), led him to choose the path of yoga, where he excels by his natural ability to put himself at the service of others. He is the main translator during traditional teachings with Indian teachers. His warm presence creates a magical bond between everyone and allows you to live an unforgettable experience. According to him, yoga, which is union, has allowed him to reconnect with his loved ones and refocus on himself.

Nathalie is one of Coinspire's baby yogis who has grown up!
