"Incessantly become who you are, be your own master and sculptor."

- Nietzsche.

It is, in the end, the story of a quest, the search for a certain truth, begun unconsciously, pursued with curiosity and finally transformed into a passion and way of life.

Chorig’s interest in the body and all it reveals about the soul, her desire to understand its language and the signs which it constantly sends us, led her to pursue her Doctor of Pharmacy studies at the University of Southern California. A certain disillusion grew during those years: Western medicine, particularly that practiced in the United States, did not treat the whole body, but rather simply attenuated, with the use of chemical pills, certain symptoms, mere manifestations of a deeper dis-ease.

Yoga’s mystery progressively attracted Chorig. She approached this universe by way of Bikram’s Yoga and realized that her regular practice changed her not only physically, with a greater consciousness of the body and its subtle reactions, but also mentally, by achieving a calm and peaceful mind.

While still practicing pharmacy, Chorig continued her self-studies of naturopathy and the different Western and Eastern nutritional systems, macrobiotics and, in the end, Ayurveda, the Indian medicine which heals through nutrition, listening to oneself and lifestyle changes adapted to each unique individual.

Finally her steps led her to vinyasa flow yoga, a fluid practice resembling dance, always varying, always new and gratifying. Creating in the human being a greater attentiveness to the present moment and a heightened sensitivity to the energies surrounding him and to his own essence. Leading him to express his very truth. Beyond any dogma, religion or conformist thought system. Completely free and whole.

The transition from the practice of pharmacy to teaching yoga was self-evident and it is in Paris, after two intensive studies in the United States under Shiva Rea, that Chorig now teaches yoga to students of all levels, in English and French, always adapting her teachings to her students’ needs. Chorig also teaches pre- and post-natal yoga and children’s yoga.
