Yannick is a trained osteopath and has been passionate about how the body and brain work since his teenage years. His practice of martial arts, particularly Aikido, led him to directly experience the effects of conscious breathing on posture and grounding. His encounter with yoga was a revelation. He went on to teach the discipline with both a postural and meditative approach, which naturally included the practice of pranayamas.
While accompanying people at the end of life, he broadened his skill set by becoming a Rebirth practitioner - a mind-body technique that connects breath and psychology.
Deeply interested in neuroscience and pedagogy, he later turned toward the corporate world, becoming the co-creator of behavioral training programs in the field of health and safety prevention. Breathing has remained the common thread across all these modules, which have reached thousands of people directly or through a team of 40 trainers he manages.
Now in his fifties, Yannick returns to direct work with the public through his own method as a breath therapist. In addition to training in coaching, MBSR, sound yoga, cardiac coherence, and holotropic breathing, becoming a certified Buteyko instructor was a natural next step to complete his comprehensive, original, and unique approach.
Yannick offers classes in French and is available both locally and remotely via Zoom and Teams.
