Pilar Grau: Teaching Yoga

Know yourself, take a break, and achieve moments of serenity. You can practice yoga at any age and in any physical condition.

Pilar Grau studied Iyengar's methods in India, Paris and Madrid. She has practiced yoga since 1991 in Geneva (Switzerland). Her teaching concentrates on alignment, fluidity, and listening.

Her pedagogical approach aims to adjust the position of each student according to his or her anatomy and capacities. "In my courses," says Pilar Grau, "I help students develop the intelligence of their bodies An important role is played by the shifting of our concentration and attention to different parts of our bodies. Working on the physical level awakens fluidity in all parts of the body and helps to improve the functioning of the various systems."

Pilar Grau is certified by the Ramamani Iyengar Memorial Yoga Institute (RIMYI) of Pune (India). She studied with Faek Biria in Paris (2000-2004) and Patxi Lizardi in Madrid. She teaches Iyengar Yoga in downtown Geneva (Carouge-Plainpalais).
