Lolë and I as a brand ambassador.
A long story...
This brand has always been part of my life, I saw it expand into yoga and gave my first Vinyasa class there.
It is the reason why we moved from California to Montreal, surf to yoga, from mild weather to extreme cold and snow.
Every move tests your brain capacity to readjust, reconstruct, to reinvent yourself.
I have been a brand ambassador since day one. I have seen the brand evolve and become mature, I have bonded with all the designers, done a countless number of meetups in the stores, for charities, in hospitals, in schools, in universities in Canada and in France. I have never asked for anything in return because I already get a lot from every people that I have taught and also because I am proud to represent the values of this community which are also my values: authenticity, enthusiasm, and dedication.
Also to be a brand ambassador has also given me the opportunity to meet some extraordinary people either working for the Lolë community or other amazing Lolë ambassadors whom I have had the privilege to work with.
Together we are one, Live Out Loud Everyday!
Lolë White Tour : Story
7 years of Lolë White tours, Montreal, Paris, New York, Moma, Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, Biarritz, Cannes, Mont Blanc, Mont Tremblant…
​
It has been an incredible ride and a unique experience.
​
My husband, Bernard Mariette, has always been fascinated by the Bayonne Festival in the South West of France where every year, people gather dressed in white and red for the sake of being together and celebrate, grandparents and grandchildren, the rich and the poor, everyone. He, at that point, imagined bringing together thousands of people around one same goal: to do yoga together dressed in White and Yellow and for the cause of peace.
However, the Lolë White Tour is not just a yoga gathering, there is also live classical music, all the mats have been precisely displayed and people HAVE to be dressed in white otherwise they do not participate.
​
The harmony of colours and of movement is what makes our Lolë White Tour exceptional and reknown.
​
2000 yogis in Montreal for the first Lolë White Tour ever at the Olympic stadium. At the time, I was one of the participants and something bigger than a usual yoga class happened, like a big wave of emotions coming from the crowd and overpowering you and the others. It is the idea of sharing the same energy together, of moving and breathing at the same time, of bringing positivity into the world and the universe. Like many other participants I found myself crying in Savasana for the first time.
​
That was just the beginning, 4000 people all dressed in white queuing all around the Grand Palais in Paris, again lying down in Savasana and seeing the French flag floating in the wind brought out tears.
New York, 10,000 people gathered in Central Park dressed in White for the sake of being together in a peaceful environment
​
And so on, and so on, and so on…
​
The next Lolë White Tours happened on stage for me, and from this perspective, whether we were 80 in front of the Mont Blanc, 200 in Biarritz, 1500 under the Eiffel Tower or 7000 last year in Montreal, the feeling has been all the same, it is all about connection, all about that oneness, all about sending out our love to the planet and the universe. It is also amazing to think that during that moment people share the same goal of breathing and moving together doing yoga.
When you stand on the stage you are really holding everyone together, this unique fascinating human energy is coming back right to you and the wave of emotions is even more intense. People keep on coming every year because it is a one of a kind experience where everyone is different but also the same.
Because it is the illustration of yoga which is to experience within, to find the way to self-transformation to be able to bring it out to the world as a therapy of healing, to live out the moment and be at peace with yourself and the
"Soul Sister" Lolë White Tour Biarritz 2019
​
Je suis devenue ambassadrice Lolë il y a quelques mois. Et me voici à Biarritz pour mon premier Lolë White Tour!
​
Le cadre est magnifique, les équipes Lolë à la hauteur de ce que j’espère. Vrai, sincère, bien veillant et plein de cette joie de vivre si communicative.
Je rencontre MarieFrancoise pour la première fois. Le contact est si simple si agréable comme si je l’avais toujours connue.
Et ça ce confirme sur scène. Nous guidons cette séance à deux et tout naturellement on se passe le relais d’une à l’autre sans répétitions, sans réfléchir comme si on avait enseigné ensemble toute notre vie.
Les participants sont beaux en blanc, de tout âges, tout horizon, unis le temps d’une pratique.
À la fin de la séance, au moment où tous se relèvent du Savasana, je rejoins mon harmonium indien et entame le chant du Gayatri Mantra. Je vois des sourires, certains ont des larmes qui coulent le long des joues... les cœurs s’ouvrent. La séance ce termine, on fait des photos, parle de notre ressenti les uns avec les autres.Quel moment magique.Au moment de m’endormir ce soir, je revois ces images, je ressent encore se bonheur. Celui d’avoir été en communion avec plus de 350 personnes, avec la nature, avec mes passions le yoga et la musique. Un sourire se dessine sur mes lèvres et je m’endors.
Vivement le prochain Lolë White Tour!!
