Virginia - 35 -Founder of One Minute of Wellness

My Yoga Journey

I am Virginia, originally from France and currently living in Sydney, Australia. I started my professional career working in external audit and corporate finance in both Paris and Sydney. It was a great learning experience, but in the last few years, I had a feeling that something was missing, something that could make an impact in my life. This is when my own yoga journey began.

I have now practiced yoga for over 9 years and fell in love with not only the practice but also the mindset of this discipline. As a result, in the beginning of my thirties, I quit my job and signed up for the yoga teacher training.

This has been an amazing life experience and I discovered myself enjoying teaching. Through the training, I have acquired knowledge about posture, meditation and breathing techniques that I would love to share with you today.

As a person, I have a passion for bringing happiness to others and supporting their physical and mental health. I am motivated, spontaneous and love to spread positivity around me. I believe yoga is an ideal medium for instilling these virtues in people and it fills me with joy to know that my class has made someone smile.

I believe I bring an enthusiasm and passion to my classes and additionally, with my French origin, I hope to be able to help you “travel” a little bit and acknowledge that “la vie est belle”.

What are my diplomas?

  • 200 hours Yoga Teacher (YTT 200). I did my teacher training in Sydney (Australia) with Be One Yoga Sydney.

  • 50 hours Yin Yoga Training with Loka Yoga.

  • Meditation Teacher Training with Loka Yoga.

  • Renata Franca Method: Lymphatic Drainage, Miracle Face & Body sculpt.

  • Reiki Level I & II with Joanna Tolley.

Which kind of yoga do I teach?

I teach:

  • Vinyasa yoga, also referred as flow yoga. It is a dynamic style of yoga, which can be described as the connection of movement and breath.

  • Yin yoga which is a slow paced yoga that work on the connective tissues.

‘I did an hour of lymphatic drainage and I can already see the results. I feel lighter, my stomach is flat and sculpted. At the end of the massage I immediately felt the effects of the drainage on my body. I really enjoyed doing it with Virginia who is very professional, kind, open to discussion and gives good advice. Her massages are perfect, I recommend her and I’ve already booked my next session!.’

Charlotte (RF treatments)

‘Outdoor yoga in Hyde Park is a great way to start a Saturday morning and I like Virginia’s small classes. They are good for people of all experiences including beginners like myself. Some of the positions are challenging but Virginia always suggests alternative poses especially if you have any problem areas or injuries. She has a gentle approach and I always feel really good after a session.’
