Coco
Born in Canada, Corinne (Coco) started to practice yoga more than 20 years ago after the birth of her son. With a background in both practicing and teaching ballet and contemporary dance for more than 16 years, Corinne warmed up to yoga easily. For her, yoga became much more than a physical practice; she felt very soon the connection between body, mind and soul.
In 2005, Corinne traveled for the first time to Mysore, India. She studied and was certified as an Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga teacher with V. Sheshadri, B.A. International Yoga Asana Champion, traditional Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga by the system of T. Krishnamacharia, Shri K. Pattabhi Jois.
As a recognized teacher in the Riviera Maya/Mexico, Corinne travelled years around Mexico, South America, Canada and the United States to share her love for the practice.
In 2015, she decided to deepen her studying to another level and went to travel Asia for more than 2 years. During that journey, she practices with well known Rolf & Marci Naujokat in Goa & Kirsten and Mitchell in Bali. She also had the chance to practice with John Scott during a workshop in Purple Valley. The highlight of her journey happened when she finally met her Guru in Pandeshwar in India. Corinne lived for many months in a traditional Brahman family where she study and practice Patanjali’s Philosophy at the Gurukula Shala.
Since 2016, Corinne is also teaching in Thailand and Africa where she guides students in the tradition of Ashtanga Yoga and help them to expand and deepen their understanding of the yoga life style.
In Mexico, in the Mayan Jungle, she has created a permanent Mysore Style Program at her Center One Breath of Yoga. Her Center also offer many other workshops like Raw Food, temazcals and Medicinals Ceremonies to help people in there process of Transformation and Self-Realization.
