Christine
Receptionist
Christine
ReceptionistIf you hear laughter bursting out in the lobby or catch a twinkle in someone’s eye behind the counter… it’s probably Christine! Dynamic, passionate about life, and always ready to chat, we often joke that she seems to know everyone (and honestly, that’s not far from the truth!).
Christine had a thousand lives before she came to us: an educator for over 10 years, a committed volunteer, a curious jack-of-all-trades… in short, a true human explorer! She likes to say that nothing happens for no reason, and that she was simply destined to be part of the La Pause family.
Her story with the studio began in 2022, after a nasty fall that led her on a long road to recovery. On the advice of her healthcare professionals, she discovered hot yoga… but beware: before even trying a single class, she had already signed up to complete the entire karma training program! The team was amazed by her audacity (and luckily, Christine loved it!).
After more than two years of pampering the studio as karma, the perfect opportunity arose: to officially join the team at the front desk. Since then, she has been one of the gems who welcomes you with her contagious smile, sense of humor, and kindness that makes you feel good.
Christine is living proof that resilience, joy, and curiosity can transform a detour in life into a wonderful new beginning. And for that, we love her dearly.

YogaYoga entered Julie and Mario’s lives at a pivotal moment, transforming their personal journeys and their vision of well-being.
In 2013, a major life change prompted Mario to explore hot yoga as a path to physical and inner rehabilitation. What began as a need for recovery quickly became a profound spiritual journey, fueled by his fascination with self-awareness and the human mind, which he explored further through training in neuro-linguistic programming and hypnotherapy.Julie, initially supportive, discovered the richness of this practice for herself. Driven by the intensity of the movement and the desire to experiment, she developed a passion for the dynamic energy of the body, embodying the essence of yang. Together, they find a natural balance between inner grounding and physical vitality. From this complementarity was born Meditative Yin Yang, an approach where gentleness meets power, where spirituality harmonizes with movement.
Through their classes, Julie and Mario create an authentic space where everyone can evolve at their own pace, reconnect with themselves, and explore the union of body and mind.
