SARAH LAMOUREUX

Director of operations

As a certified coach, I completed my nutrition studies while working at Idolem. Upon selecting my future job, I had to choose between continuing on my field of study or a career with a growing company.I finally decide to take a leap of faith with Idolem by deciding to believe that we would be able to go far!Today, after 9 years, I share what we have built throughout these years with new owners, who like us, believe in the potential of this company. My work today is to guide them through their dream of becoming an entrepreneur.

MARIE-PIER BOUCHARD

Artistic director

I started my graphic design business quickly after graduating, finally living off my passion. I spent several hours sitting behind a computer, and I was looking for an activity to get me moving and relaxing. Hot yoga at IDOLEM turned out to be a revelation from the first class. While relaxing, the movements of the yoga postures eliminated my body aches for the day. Working with IDOLEM allows me to realize myself professionally while finding a balance with my family. Being a client at IDOLEM, I can convey in my designs all the well-being that I feel when I enter a studio.

LYNDA LAROCHE

Director of the blooming department

On October 25, 2021, I took a direction that allowed me to bring together the things that are essential to me and to feel aligned with myself on a daily basis. Passionate about customer service and personal growth, "I did my Yoga teacher training at the same time and" was first in the field of representation with a lot of sales training. I like to see my world happy and be able to offer them the best. Subsequently, I completed my Yoga teacher training, which really changed my life. Today, I am responsible for training our magnificent advisors and offering our students the best of ourselves. People are my priority and I thank Idolem for giving me this chance to pass on my passion.

TANYA DE MONTIGNY

Director of the Idolem academy department

From a young age, Tanya was very athletic. Dance, gymnastics and AAA soccer, she always loved to move. Already in CEGEP, she dreamed of having her own dance studio, while her parents saw a career in science in her, a path she therefore undertook. Seventeen years and three children later... Influenced by her own challenges, including anxiety and Achilles tendonitis, she took her first class at IDOLEM and felt like a fish in water. With all the benefits that Yoga has brought me, such as happiness, self-improvement, living in the moment, etc., as well as the specific details of Idolem that make the practice so extraordinary, I decided to follow my teacher training with IDOLEM Academy, with the aim of being able to share this well-being. Since then, she has specialized in several related trainings, including Thai yoga massage, yoga nidra and healing teaching, and she intends to complete her advanced yoga training by the end of 2023! My mission is to be there for you, to offer you a non-judgmental space that will bring you inner peace, gratitude and the joy of living in each of our meetings.
