Esthée Freynet

She currently resides in Quebec city. Esthée attended a Hot yoga class in May of 2012 in Winnipeg where the teacher inspired in her a deep sense of inner peace and a complete surrender to the present moment, letting go for the first time of all worries and self-conscious thoughts. This experience propelled her to practice yoga regularly. In 2013, she took her Yoga teacher training at Yoga at St-Mark's school, and later took the Active Older Adult training at the Manitoba Fitness Council. Esthée’s past studies in Psychology shaped her vision and experience of yoga. She leads her classes with a focus on good class flow and an emphasis on the mind-body experience to help practitioners get out of their minds and get into the present moment. She teaches a more traditional Hatha yoga style, with an emphasis on safety, relaxed mind and good alignment. Esthée completed a four-year B.A. Honours degree in Psychology in 2017. Testimonials: I discovered yoga as a pleasant and relaxing, yet challenging workout. Esthée is easily able to adapt the exercises and positions according to each participant's capabilities and limits so that people of different ages and abilities can participate in the same program. I also love Esthée’s voice! She is soft-spoken and very respectful, and her voice is very soothing, and helps the participants to relax. Her explanations on how to come into each yoga position are always clear, and easy to understand. You are never left guessing. Yoga with Esthée was everything I was looking for. Great for beginners as well as the more advanced. I heard comments from other more seasoned participants who were also very pleased with Esthée as an instructor, saying that Esthée was knowledgeable, professional and courteous. - Lynne T. I would definitely recommend yoga with Esthée! She has been my best instructor to date; it is obvious that she is dedicated and passionate about yoga. Esthée is friendly, approachable, and passionate about what she does which makes the class an overall great atmosphere to practice yoga in. She caters to every individual and takes the time to get to know all the individuals in the class and improve their technique and form. I found this to be extremely helpful as improper technique/poses can result in injuries. - Francine C. One of the signs of a great yoga teacher is a commitment to being a great student. Esthée has this quality in spades. She demonstrates true openness in her attitude towards learning.
