TEACHERS :
Mathieu Boldron :
Mathieu was born and raised in Paris. Having developed a passion for singing and acting, he embarked upon a career on the stage which meant using his voice, body and imagination.
He performed in musical theater productions including The Lion King (Paris and London), Sister Act, La Cage aux Folles, to name but a few.
Mathieu discovered yoga while working in the high pressure and highly competitive world of theater. He found that practicing Yoga helped him to heal his voice, body and spirit and to deal with the pressures of performing in up to nine shows a week, in a variety of languages.
As a yoga instructor Mathieu looks to bring awareness through motion, alignment and balance. His approach is to guide his students to find strength in flexibility and to connect yoga practice with our daily lives. His style is dynamic, fun but challenging.
Mathieu believes that yoga awakens the child within us and helps bring joy to the world.
Anastasia Friedman :
From a very young age, theatre, music and travel were intrinsic parts of Anastasia’s world. At the age of 18, she studied jazz vocals and guitar in Santiago, Chile, where she also developed her song writing craft. Through her music she embarked on a lifelong journey of traveling and exploring different cultures around the world.
This combination of diverse life experiences and a pursuit of artistic integrity led Anastasia to a new passion: yoga. After many years of practicing different types of hot Vinyasas, she moved to London where she perfected her art under the direction of Luiz Veiga, a renowned Ashtanga practitioner and spiritual guide. She completed her certificate in Ashtanga Hatha and Vinyasa flow in Mexico with Olivia Martinez – former student and certified Ashtanga teacher of Sri.K Pattabhi and Sharath Jois.
Back in Montreal, Anastasia began teaching private lessons “Mysore style”. Anastasia traveled to Mysore, India in 2013 and studied anatomy with Noah Mckenna while deepening her Ashtanga practice with Jay Prakash. She currently teaches Ashtanga primary series and Yoga Nidra, as well as managing retreats at Om Yoga Casablanca in Morocco
