AURÉLIE LOUIS-ALEXANDRE

I'm Aurélie, founder of Flawless Yoga, certified teacher with over 7 years' experience teaching yoga in Paris and around the world.

CAN YOU TELL US ABOUT YOUR CREATIVE/WORKING PROCESS ?

I'm someone who's driven by music, and it plays a very important role in the creation of my classes, but it's also an integral part of my Flawless Yoga brand, which began with a hip hop and r'n'b yoga idea and evolved into a singular universe. First, I'll look for songs and listen to them, or listen to them again, before deciding how to integrate them into a class. Then, as for the format, I work from the heart, using themes that have spoken to me one day and that I'd like to explore with my students. Fear, success, nothingness, lack of confidence - these are more everyday subjects than they seem in the end.

IS THERE A PARTICULAR PROJECT YOU'D LIKE TO SHARE WITH US ?

Yes, I'm actively developing tools to support my students' yoga practice, and the first one on the way is an opening brochure: postures to visit in class or at home to keep up a regular practice and stop feeling like bad if you don't have the teacher behind you to guide you.

HOW DOES YOUR ACTIVITY INFLUENCE THE WAY YOU DRESS ?

Wow, it's simple, I work in sport, so I practically spend my life in leggings or jogging suits, and although I love it (comfort and sport) I really like clothes, and I insist on comfort, material, what you can do in your clothes and what you can put them together with. That's how my practice has influenced the way I dress: I want to have the same comfort, the same ease of movement in my civilian clothes as when I wear leggings that can manage all the yoga postures I can explore!

HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH CLOTHES ?

It's become gentler over the years. Before, I felt I had to be like every other woman and wear heels and feminine clothes to show my "feminine" side. It was when I got out of the family circle that I explored my feminity more in the way I dressed, and I was able to express all my facets: the tomboy side, my hybrid side that likes to mix a lot of things and genders, types of fabrics and other things in the way I dress.
