Lucile Palancher, CYT, CTMP, CBP
Director of Spectrum Yoga

Lucile Palancher has always been drawn to the arts of movement and dance as a way to acknowledge the beauty of life. She believed that when connected with the wisdom of the body, true healing can occur. Lucile was amazed as a child in her father’s medical library by the art and science of Traditional Chinese Medecine. She discovered that only when all systems are operating optimally and energy is flowing freely, one becomes free from pain and dis-ease, yielding a fuller life experience.

Today throughout all of her practices, Lucile brings together the ancient dance of yoga with the body-mind-fitness phenomena to harmonize one's physical, mental and emotional bodies.

Lucile’s awareness and honoring of individual’s needs carries throughout her group and private practices. Her personal training with close attention to detail provides a more comprehensive in-depth, holistic approach.

Lucile's intent is to achieve deeper communication, balance and flow in the body, mind and spirit. This deeper state of homeostasis is reached through yogic-based principles of breathing, tailored exercise, balanced nutrition and relaxation.

These are reflected in Spectrum Yoga’s 5 Pillars of Health/Wellness which consist of:

1- Healthy lifestyle and meditation
2- Nourishing, living foods
3- Yoga and mindful exercise
4- Massage/bodywork
5- Herbal/nutritional integrative medicine

Lucile offers one-on-one therapeutic healing arts such as Yoga Therapy, Thai Massage, Qi Gong, Reflexology, the energy medicine of BodyTalk, CranioSacral Therapy and yoga-based Personal Training. Lucile is also trained in Shiatsu, Reiki and Darkfield Microscopy. Lucile is a certified BodyTalk practitioner as well as certified in Reflexology. She holds certifications in Thai Massage from the Lotus Palm school in Montreal, Quebec.

Lucile has pursued International Business Studies in France & Germany and holds a MBA from The University of Dunkirk, France. The high-stress level involved with her corporate assignments led her on the path of yoga. Through the practice of yoga she learned to trust her innate wisdom as well as find her power, purpose and vision from within.

Lucile has studied many styles of Yoga from around the world. She has trained with renowned yoga teachers Ana Forrest, Duncan Wong, Richard Freeman, Rod Stryker and David Swenson to name a few. In 2003, she completed the Yoga Teacher Training Program from Forrest Yoga Institute based in Santa Monica, CA.

Influenced by Anton Simper, her first yoga teacher, Lucile created Spectrum Yoga that unites yoga from around the world.

Lucile has developed different programs such as "Baby Yoga" for Mom & Baby, "Partner Yoga" for Couples, "Thai Vinyasa" for gravity-free yoga bodywork, "YogaCircus" for Children and the "Organic Gourmet" for healing food experience.

As a new mom, Lucile is passionate about sharing the profound benefits of yoga and her healing arts with the community and especially new parents and babies. Her scenic "Baby Yoga" DVD shot on the northern beaches of Lake Michigan is now available for screening and soon distribution.
