Hi I’m Sylvie! I’ve been designing transformational retreats and experiences for nearly a decade for folks wanting to reconnect with themselves.
I’m an international yoga teacher, 500-hour certified yoga educator, retreat leader, teacher trainer, mentor, and founder of Rebel Soul. But more than titles, I’m someone who understands what it feels like to lose yourself for a while… and what it takes to come home again.
Yoga became that path for me during a chapter of my life marked by addiction and disconnection. What started as movement slowly became a practice of self-trust, nervous system healing, self-leadership, and transformation. It taught me that healing is remembering who you were before the world told you to disconnect from yourself.
Now, I create experiences that help others do the same.
Through retreats, trainings, mentorship, movement, and community, my work blends embodied practices with creativity, nature, self-discovery, and nervous system awareness. Whether you’re stepping onto the mat for the first time, moving through a major life transition, or evolving as a yoga teacher, my intention is always the same: to create spaces where you feel safe enough to explore your edges and supported enough to grow.
Over the past decade, I’ve taught internationally, led transformational retreats, trained and mentored yoga teachers, and designed immersive experiences rooted in connection, adventure, play, and personal growth.
Rebel Soul was created as a space for folks who are drawn to depth, growth, and a more intentional way of living can reconnect with themselves and create lives that feel aligned from the inside out.
If you’re here, maybe a part of you is already ready for that shift. And if so, I’d love to welcome you in.
Rebel Soul invites you to step outside the ordinary, reconnect with nature, and reconnect with your true nature. Rooted in creativity, transformation, and deep connection, Rebel Soul blends soulful yoga practices with reflective workshops, nourishing food, and time in nature. Whether in the studio, on a retreat, or out on the water, Rebel Soul is about carving your own path, finding balance, and embracing the freedom to live authentically.
