Rosporden – In Rosporden, the Équilibre association has found its cruising speed

The general assembly of the Équilibre association was held on Friday at the mill shed in Rosporden, an opportunity for the president, Corine Brachet-Thuillier, to take stock of a particular exercise: “The season has opened in September 2021 under the influence of gauges, sanitary passes and masks. We were around 80 members, spread over the eight existing courses, all almost complete, ”she summarizes, before returning to the departure of the then teacher. “We had to find in a fortnight and in the middle of the year, one or more teachers likely to provide lessons in specific slots that we could hardly move. We were the happy beneficiaries of the network of teachers from Finistère. Those who were not available gave us the contact details of potentially interested teachers, who themselves gave names for the slots still to be filled… in two weeks we put together a shock team and classes resumed with a few adjustments she recalls.

A new team

For the association, it’s a new start, with Marie who provides lessons on Tuesday and Thursday evenings, Sophie on Wednesday mornings, Caroline on Wednesday evenings and Friday mornings and finally Lætitia who leads the Sunday morning courses. A new dynamic has set in. “They gave us an opening on different yoga methods, varied practices, each one coming with its vision of yoga, its professionalism, its benevolence and sometimes a bit of fantasy, such as the sessions on the beach”, smiles the president.

“In terms of partnership, we have continued to support parent-child yoga classes at the social center, by taking over, as agreed, half of the classes, with the success that we know. Another popular novelty, the Sunday morning courses are organized around a theme, presented in advance by Lætitia, and with a particularly welcome herbal tea break”.

A reconstituted workforce

To date, the association has 59 members and provides seven lessons per week. “We had decided to keep last year’s rates in order to make the practice of yoga accessible to as many people as possible. Most of the settlements have already been made, the association can look to the year ahead with confidence. However, there are still a few places in progress, do not hesitate to let those around you know, this will allow the association to maintain in the future costs accessible to the greatest number, “commented Sylviane Laîné for her part. , the treasurer.

In terms of novelty, the association plans to open its activities, by offering the discovery of other practices related to yoga. “The spirit of the association will be preserved. We are currently thinking about the meditation that Corentin could offer us, the self-massage… Perhaps a few sessions a little different from what we are doing at the moment, ”announced the president.
