Jean-Michel Creisméas

Yoga has been an uninterrupted part of my life since the age of 25. The encounter with Boris Tatzky, whose teachings I have been following for over 30 years, was decisive in my development. After the yoga teacher training in Lyon (1999-2003), I left my job as an engineer to devote myself entirely to teaching yoga, and founded a yoga center in my hometown of Morlaix, Brittany (2005).

The discovery of traditional Indian texts immediately awakened a desire to explore this path in greater depth. Studying Sanskrit with Dîpa (Hélène Marinetti) paved the way for a university course in Indian studies at the Sorbonne (Paris), culminating in a thesis defended in 2015.

Since 2010, I have also been a teacher and lecturer in several FNEY yoga schools. The transmission and sharing of experience underpin my own practice.

I translated J. Mallinson and M. Singleton’s Roots of Yoga into French (Almora, 2020) and contributed to Yoga, l’encyclopédie edited by Ysé Masquelier (Albin Michel, 2021). I am a regular contributor to FNEY publications (Revue française de yoga, Carnets du Yoga).
