Who am I?
Paulette Matkovic
After training as a sociologist interested in non-verbal communication, and a stint in contemporary dance, my path towards a therapeutic body approach became obvious.
I have always been passionate about the body, about the link between the body and emotions and the deep identity of each individual. I am fascinated by the intelligence of the body and its extraordinary power of self-healing.
I am trained in yogatherapy by Dr. N. Chandrasekaran (student of Desikashar The Viniyoga Healing and Research Center)
(550 hours + 120 hours of practice in Chennai - India). I am certified by the IAYT (International Association of Yogatherapy) and a member of the ABEPY.
I am also trained in Somatic Experiencing (therapeutic approach to trauma and deep stress).
In addition to this, I have other trainings:
- Yoga for people at risk of chronic diseases with Yoga in Healthcare Alliance UK, training certified by the Personalised Care Insitute.
- Restore your Prana, Robin Rothenberg
- Yoga Therapy for Anxiety with Gary Kraftsow (American Viniyoga Institute)
- Further training in Yogatherapy with Dr Chandrasekaran: seminars Prana & Bandha , Prana, Nadis et Chakras
- Yoga teacher training (4 years - 540 hours) in Viniyoga (Krishnamasharya tradition). This training is recognised by the ADEPS.
- 2years training in Shiatsu Iokai, finding it interesting to combine Yoga Therapy with a stretching approach to the meridians in the postures.
What I currently do:
I collaborate with the association Yoga in Healthcare for the groups YES,
for people at risk of chronic diseases
I offer individual consultations at Be-Here and training for yoga teachers
