"Sergine’s career history can be divided in distinct periods.

After greco-latin studies in High School, she started her career as a professional dancer for the "Ballet du XXème siècle" - Maurice Béjart’s dance company -, Ballet des Flandres, Théâtre Chorégraphique de Rennes, Ballet de Nancy, Scapino Ballet, Ballet de Bonn and Tanit Dance Theatre.

During all her dance years, photography plays a very important role. This is how after a workshop in China with Guy Le Querrec from the Magnum photo agency, she naturally went from dancing stage to picturing shows and reportage photography.

Her very first photo documentary, "Regards d’Afrique", has been awarded at the Leica International Competition- black and white fascination-. Several topics: "Berlin Wall fall 1989-1999-2009", "Gypsy life in the Alentejo", "From earth to bronze", 3 reportages in Tibet: "Losar festival in Labrang", "Acupuncture for all" and "In the heart of the Tibetan Buddhism", a work on jazz "Corps Accord". All have been presented in various exhibits and publications.
As an extension of her first passion and during all these years, she continued photographing dance and especially Michèle Noiret’s work (Book published in 2009).

"Sergine Laloux photographs without any pathos nor voyeurism, with picture staging mastery and a real feel for movement and composition that are probably not unrelated to her first passion". Jean-Marie Wynants (le Soir)

What are your favorite Retreat Venues around the world

"La Ferme de Solterre in France. Very nice shala and beautiful rooms. Very good vegetarian food. Blue Indigo Yoga in Siem Reap, Cambodia. Accommodations and shala a little rough but the proximity of the Angkhor temples is precious and the owner organizes very well the visits. Casa Las Chimeneas in Spain in the Sierra Nevada. Beautiful outdoor and indoor shalas. Different room qualities and delicious vegetarian or vegan food."

What's your personal definition of what it means to thrive?

Advancing on the path of spirituality, improving my yoga practice and the quality of my transmission to others.

Who do you look up to ? Who has helped you the most along your teacher / retreat leader journey?

First of all, Jean-Claude Garnier, my master for more than 20 years who continues to transmit this knowledge to me with generosity and confidence. Then the meeting with Tim Miller was very important as he is dedicated to his students transmitting his great knowledge with generosity, humor and empathy. And now Kia Naddermeier for her feminine energy, her quality of research and teaching in which I find myself.
