What is kundalini yoga?
It is the energy of consciousness, creativity and joy. When it circulates, we access our full potential and naturally find the path to our destiny.
Why is it good?
This yoga, complete and structured, is both gentle and very powerful. It is an excellent support for physical and psychological health because it particularly works on the nervous and endocrine system.
With whom ?
Camille Param Devi has been practicing hatha yoga for over a decade, but it was in Los Angeles that she first discovered kundalini. She says: “It was the experience of my life, I had a feeling of déjà vu, of a situation already experienced, like real evidence! » A few years later, after a year of intensive training, Camille obtained her diploma and became a teacher at the time when the practice began to flourish.
How does it happen ?
Accessible to all, this practice does not require any particular skills. With eyes closed, we let ourselves be guided, we receive teachings. The idea is not to achieve the perfect posture, but rather to explore these teachings which are so many tools. We do a series of alternating breaths: pranayamas. Some like “fire” can be powerful. The goal is awareness of oneself, one's truth and the surrounding world.
When is it?
Tuesday at 18:30 p.m.
What is the spirit of the place?
The Element Center is dedicated to well-being and rejuvenation. Born from a deep reflection on the body and the mind, this address aims to bring together scientific knowledge of the human body and its spiritual approach.
Why do we love?
Because the class is intense and revolves around the sound of the gong and the voice, with dynamic exercises, breathing and chanted meditations that awaken and diffuse the energy located at the base of the spine. This practice works in depth throughout our being to allow us to approach our true identity. It allows us to free ourselves from our fears, our limiting beliefs, our old patterns, in order to open our heart and our mind, and to achieve a stable self capable of acting.

TO TAKE CARE OF YOU, IT'S THIS WAY
We tested Ashtanga Yoga with Hawaiian Callie Mahoney
During Ashtanga Yoga sessions with Callie Mahoney, you feel like you're going to the end of the world, somewhere on a distant island. Normal: this former model who has been practicing yoga since a young age herself comes from Honolulu, the capital of Hawaii, in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.
An extraordinary dance course for All Saints’ Day
Then we dance ? Yes, and not with just anyone! During the All Saints' Day holidays, the Nadine Bommer Dance Academy company takes up residence at the Center de Danse du Marais, where we sway our hips in a thousand ways, always with grace and good humor.
Where to swim in the Marais?
With the summer holidays approaching, what could be better than a few swimming sessions to shape a summer body? Unfortunately, the Marais only has one swimming pool on its territory, that of Saint-Merri, opposite Beaubourg (4th). Fortunately, two pools are not far away…

The best tattoo parlors in Marais
Tattooing, an age-old practice, has long been the prerogative of convicts, dock workers, the underworld and sailors. Although it has become democratized, now affecting all profiles and concerning one in five French people, including 16% women compared to 10% men, it still remains taboo due to its definitive and transgressive nature.
