GLIMPSE OF MY STORY
Version française en video ci-bas
Born as a French Canadian. Azaya Yoga came from her birth name Melanie Jolicoeur. In French “Jolicoeur” means “beautiful heart” The Sanskrit words “Azaya” stand for “heart” as her mission is sincerely inspired by love.
Melanie's path is filled with ups and downs as frequent as the pulse of a heartbeat. She trusts that we are always exactly where we are meant to be at any moment, and from there we can only move forward, sculpting our life through magnificent stories of triumph, wisdom, dignity and love.
Melanie had the experience of being a caregiver for many years, lived through the grief of losing loved ones, coped with a degenerative spine condition and an autoimmune disease. She owned a business for 10 years, lived as a professional artist, and had a large social life with many distractions. Even if she thought her life felt full, she reached the point where she sensed something was missing inside of her. The « doing » took over the « being »
Melanie began questioning and wondering: Is it possible to truly find inner peace? Is happiness something you reach or is it already inside of us? Is it possible to find harmonie body, mind and soul in this roller coaster of life? What is the difference between traditional medicine and holistic medicine? Why do we learn so much about intellectual intelligence but not about emotional intelligence? Would it be possible that our old belief systems are interacting with our perception and holding us back from seeing the beauty of our true essence?
Since then, she has been exploring the world in a journey of self-discovery. Travelling, living, studying and teaching around the world, Melanie has adapted to a holistic nomadic lifestyle in the past 12 years. After many years of embracing the unknown, home became her heart, and nature the food for her soul.
