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.

Back in Paris, she started practicing ashtanga yoga and had a breakthrough realization about the importance of breath, She thereafter began studying Suryashtanga yoga with Suzy and joined the organisation. This represents the beginning of a training that corresponds with her interests and passion for reading.

Through Surya, Marine finds opportunities to actively contribute on a daily basis to ecological and humanitarian causes and deepen her knowledge in yoga. She now wants to pass on what she experienced in well-being through her yoga practice and the teachings of Surya.
