· Brigitte Longueville ·

Traveling to India 40 years ago was my big inspiration to start practicing yoga. Studying the more traditional yoga paths (Iyengar- and Ashtanga-yoga) and interlacing it with the functional restorative yoga that I have been practicing during the past 20 years, created a fruitful mix that resulted in the birth of Restorative Alignment. Some of my most influential teachers have been Clive Sheridan, Gert van Leeuwen, David McAmmond, and my Vipassana teacher S.N. Goenka.

Since 2008 I hold a Yoga Alliance registration as E-RYT®500 and YACEP provider.

· Susanna Borgatti ·

My passion for yoga started in San Francisco, California. Initially my interest was a simple desire to increase my flexibility and I felt yoga would be a great way to do so. Over the years I have explored many different styles of yoga such as Iyengar and Vinyasa. My practice in restorative yoga deepened with the help of Brigitte Longueville. Soon I discovered that it was an incredible tool that could address injuries and chronic pain while also calming the mind.

My style of teaching is accessible, yet informative, and adheres to the general principle that anyone and everyone can benefit from the practice. A balance of simple form, fluid movement and exploration of the particular nature of posture in yoga. The understanding of the movement patterns in the body is critical for the meaningful realization of asanas.

Certification: Yoga Alliance registered teacher (E-RYT200). Training: With Brigitte Longueville (E-RYT500) Restorative/ Multi-Style 300-hours teacher training, completed in 2008 at the Solstice Yoga Center.

My curiosity for yoga started almost 10 years ago. When I started my practice I did it without a particular goal beyond exercising and developing flexibility, mostly self-taught.

This changed after a 10-day Vipassana meditation course, where I discovered how difficult it was to sit upright for more than two minutes. I felt something was wrong with my posture, despite being active and sporty my back could not support me. It was then that my interest in yoga was aroused, especially in Restorative Alignment.

In 2020 I trained as a yoga teacher, deepening my knowledge in techniques to help me develop a stronger and more flexible back,  created espaldafeliz.com and since then I have been teaching online and private classes to people from all over the world.

I would like to thank my teachers, especially Brigitte and S.N. Goenka for sharing their knowledge with me.

What students say

She helped me to open my wings
Alja Lah

Deciding to do the teacher training with Brigitte was one of the best decisions I made. It was such a wonderful experience all in all and I learned so much of alignment yoga and I got to know the BackMitra® that saved my and many others backs. If you are into alignment, doing correct and safe yoga for the body than she is your best bet!

I am a believer
Justin Driscoll

I have known Brigitte for 12 years now. She saved my body, and spirit. No Joke! when I met Bridgette I had been practicing Yoga for 2 years prior, but with her teaching, my body was restored! That was my 1st retreat with her. I have completed my 200 hr teacher’s certification with her 5 years later, and the knowledge and wisdom I took away from that experience is priceless.

Determining experience in my life
Pablo Quiroga, Mexico City

“The Teachers Training at Solstice Yoga Center has been a determining experience in my life and in my yoga practice. The strong natural surroundings, Brigitte´s years of experience and the outstanding teachers that gathered together allow personal practice to develop with firmness, deep knowledge and multiple opinions. If I could, I would attend all of Brigitte’s trainings, it has been one of the happiest times in my life.”

Transforming yourself
Anonymous

“When you find teachers who don’t display their own path nor tell you what to do, but instead they walk beside for you to reach and fall in love with your own path, they inspire you to go deeper and remember who you are and continue transforming yourself, then you know that you are in the perfect time and place. Thank you with all my heart Brigitte Longueville and David McAmmond. Once again…”

Process
Penny Gelber, BC, Canada

I came away with enough information to process through the rest of my life. It was a fabulous setting for an extended stay and I look forward to returning one day and studying with Brigitte once again.”
