Also in France she became introduced to the deep innate healing ability of the “Rebouteux”, the amazing French bone setters from the country side (which are at the origins of what is now known as modern Osteopathic and Chiropractic Medicine).

Thru Thai Massage Lucile rediscovered Thai Vinyasa which she now teaches. Her Practitioner Certification Program includes the best of her life's encounters. This teaching is very experiential and has amazing breakthrough materials.

Questions & Answers with Lucile Palancher
		What is Spectrum Yoga about? Spectrum Yoga fuses seamlessly powerful movement from different yogic traditions around the world. Everything in Spectrum Yoga is flow (even static poses are part of the flow) because everything in life is flow. Without flow, there is no life. The supreme flow to be attained can be referred as the easy flow, the fluid and effortless movement, the grace, beauty, sacredness and wisdom. Think about the flow of a meadow brooke, the flow of the trees dancing in the wind. When we choose to be in a reflective flow, we learn from our body about the choices you have made and this awareness feeds our intellect with authenticity. Next time a similar choice comes around, we have more discernment power to find and follow the enlightened path.
What is your teaching style? I teach organically. I have many teachers. Nature is one of my biggest teacher and is source of continuous and endless inspiration and devotion. During the spring and summer months, I teach yoga in the Park. What is your goal with Spectrum Yoga? With Spectrum Yoga, we get to re-connect with ourselves and the world around us, seen thru our own eyes, "the observer from within". From that, new set of truths emerge. Progressively we rebuild our belief systems from the inside out which is source of enormous liberation. We learn how to tune in at our own rhythm and wake up our inner senses to be able to feel and appreciate it ALL (within, others, Earth, Sky etc). The realization that our place as human being is not in the center of the circle of life. We are not a special separate entity from the rest of the circle. We are as human being a part of the circle like all other living beings. That is where the fundamental values of "respect" and "responsibility" are paramount. Respect of life within ourselves and around us. Responsibility of the impact of our thoughts and actions over a life-span of many generations to come. As our inner-senses and awareness fine-tune, we grow infinitely more grateful and appreciative. We give ourselves time and appreciation. We align with Nature and the seasons such as watching a flower grow and getting super-charged up from it. We live in the Now. We learn to trust the divine process. We are in harmony. How did you come to yoga? As a young adult I was on what seemed to be a different path. I studied international business in France & Germany. I have a MBA from The University of Dunkirk, France. The high-stress level involved with my corporate assignments led me on the path of yoga. Through the practice of yoga I learned to trust my innate wisdom as well as to find my power, purpose and vision from within. Is Spectrum Yoga for Beginners? Yes we all need to start somewhere. Beginners are welcome as well as more advanced students. Every body will benefit. How long have you been teaching? I have been teaching for over a decade now. It's always exciting to start teaching a new series. No class is ever the same. Our body is never twice the same either. Everyone of us comes to class with a different set of gifts and challenges. The class is formatted by who attends the class then. For me as a teacher, it has been a great journey of evolution and of listening from within to universal truth at a deeper level. How many classes a week are you teaching? I only teach group classes ONCE a week. The rest of the time, I am doing PRIVATE sessions (private yoga and Thai Vinyasa) i.e. people come and see me because they experience aches and pain with conditions such as sciatica, frozen shoulders, chronic headaches etc... I am also a trained food educator so I offer in parallel "Lifestyle Wellness & Nutritional Coaching". It is a powerful make-over program involving food, nutrition, exercise and bodywork. This gives people the skills of a lifetime in order to reach their short and long term health and wellness goals. How was Thai Vinyasa created? Thai Vinyasa is a beautiful fusion of the most powerful arts I have encountered in my life such as French healing arts, Spectrum yoga therapy, Thai yoga massage and qi gong energy medicine. What would you say to a brand new yoga student? Welcome, welcome, welcome! You are embarking on a wonderful journey!
