About Me

Teaching is an everlasting passion for me. Even before getting engaged with the other, I've been my own teacher for many years. The whole subject of education, which for me means
transformation, that is to say, using constructive tools in order to overcome limitations and as means of building a more conscious life. The process of education is never finished though. We will always be susceptible to change. So, if we really want to mature and flourish as human beings, we have to shift our focus from the final goal and all the anxiety envolved and remain attentive to the quality of our being, which in scientific terms means the nervous system's response, when we approach any activity.

Hot Yoga (Bikram) Classes - Yin Yoga - Vinyasa Yoga - Nidra Meditation
Of Belgian-Canadian origin, I have over 6 years of experience in yoga. Trained in Casablanca in Bikram Yoga, Yin Yoga, Vinyasa Yoga, and Nidra Meditation, I now teach in Marrakech at the Fairmont Royal Palm. I enjoy guiding my students through a personalized practice that meets their needs. I integrate meditation, breathing, and movement into my classes. Bikram is a powerful, physical yoga practice that is initially practiced in a heated room. However, all 26 postures can also be practiced in Hatha Yoga. Yin Yoga is a gentle and restorative yoga. The postures are held for 3 to 5 minutes. This practice helps the body achieve deep relaxation. Vinyasa Yoga is a dynamic yoga practice that combines breath and movement. It is ideal for improving flexibility and strengthening muscles. Nidra Meditation, also called "lucid sleep yoga," is a guided meditation, an inner journey that affects the entire body. I teach in-person and in-home private lessons in Marrakech. I also teach online. See you soon on the mat!

Gul
Yoga for everyone! (Hatha, Vinyasa, Yin Yoga and Meditation, Breathing Exercises)
Yoga, which I initially adopted as a treatment method following my herniated disc diagnosis, evolved into a practice for both my physical and mental well-being over time. By gaining a deeper understanding of the body through alignment and mindful observation during slow-paced flows, I discovered its incredible capabilities, opening up a whole new path in life. As you continue to practice, both mentally and physically, you become more attuned to the sensations and changes within your body and mind. This heightened mindfulness extends beyond yoga, positively impacting various aspects of your life. You’ll find yourself more composed and insightful not just during yoga sessions, but also in challenging situations at work, in personal relationships, or even in everyday frustrations like waiting for a parking spot. Embarking on this journey can bring about a calmer, more pleasant, and wiser version of yourself. If you're ready to start, I would be pleased to accompany you on this transformative path.

🌷 Private Yoga with Stephanie: Yin & Vinyasa Yoga 🌷
🌷 Yoga with Stephanie 🌷 For strength, stillness, and everything in between. Hi, I’m Stephanie — a certified Yin and Vinyasa Yoga Instructor offering personalised, online private sessions for individuals who crave more than just movement. Whether you're seeking to unwind after long days, release tension in the body, enhance mobility, or reconnect with your inner calm — you're in the right place. These sessions are designed to meet you where you are. I’ll guide you through a practice that balances strength and softness, discipline and surrender. ✨ What you can expect: 1. A Practice Designed for You Each class is fully tailored to your body, your goals, and your energy. Whether you're craving deep rest or a fire-building flow, we’ll work together to create exactly what you need. 2. Convenience and Privacy No commute, no crowded rooms. Just your mat, your breath, and your presence — from the comfort of your own space. 3. Guided Expertise With a background in both Yin and Vinyasa, I’ll lead you with clear, thoughtful instruction and offer intuitive adjustments to ensure every moment supports your alignment and growth. 4. Flexible Scheduling Sessions can be booked weekly or as needed. Please reserve your space at least 24 hours ahead so I can prepare your custom practice. 🌸 Let’s talk feminine energy 🌸 Yin is the embodiment of feminine energy — slow, intuitive, fluid, and deeply restorative. It teaches us to receive. To feel. To soften. In a world that often pushes us to go faster, do more, and always be ‘on,’ Yin invites us back to being. This is where we reconnect with our essence — the part of us that delights in stillness, savors the moment, and feels life deeply. Yin helps us fall in love with simply being alive. With noticing the small things. It’s not about chasing — it’s about attracting. It’s about surrendering to the rhythm of the breath, the wisdom of the body, and the whisper of the present moment. Whether you identify as masculine or feminine — we all carry both energies within. Yin was actually designed for male martial artists by Paulie Zink to help balance excess yang energy. So for men, this is a powerful way to slow down, ground yourself, and reconnect with clarity. For women, especially those constantly in ‘go’ mode, Yin is a healing return to your natural flow. It can transform the way you move through the world — with softness, magnetism, and inner peace. ☀️ Flow with Vinyasa ☀️ If Yin is the moon, Vinyasa is the sun. Vinyasa yoga is a powerful practice that links breath with movement, helping you build flexibility, balance, and body awareness while releasing mental clutter. It's energising, detoxifying, and grounding all at once. But it’s not just flowy vibes — Vinyasa works deeply into your muscles. With creative sequences and full-body movement, it strengthens your core, stretches tight areas, tones your limbs, and builds endurance. Every class is a gentle workout and a moving meditation wrapped in one. Whether you're looking to break a sweat or melt into your breath, this practice keeps your body strong, lean, and balanced — and your mind clear and centered. 💫 You don’t have to choose between softness and strength. You were made to hold both. See you on the mat ✨🌷

Dance & Therapy session | Transcendental Embodiment
Are you seeking for a creative and uplifting way to consciously reconnect with yourself ? Transcendental Embodiment is a dance practice that will guide you to embrace your emotions and help you to reach your true authentic self. Through meditative dances, guided imageries, and energy healing modalities. I am here to support and guide you in your process of discovering your inner power through: - chakras alignment, guided meditation, breathing exercises - self-expression & subjective experience through dance - expanding your heart space, emotional awareness, and healing in movement and dance - release of stress, judgment, and trapped emotions - grounding, self-care, resilience - and more... The sessions are tailored to the specific needs and capabilities of each individual. *Dance can be a practice of introspection, transformation, and transcendence of one’s subjective experiences into a worldwide journey. * As a professional dancer, teacher, and performance maker I am introspectively processing each working day in consciousness, listening to my upcoming emotions, triggers, or anxiety when it comes to be physically and mentally performative in a team, or as a freelance artist. Instead of suppressing these emotions and creating energetical and mental blockages (that can end up into somatic pains or burn-out): we should pay more attention to these inner warning messages and strengthen our emotional intelligence to be able to cope with the infinitesimal external stimulus and daily-stress of our very fast lives. It can be challenging to sense with clarity what is the origin of some feelings of frustration, unsatisfaction, discomfort, or grief, and it can be intimidating or discouraging to walk alone on that path. This class helps you to commit to your better-being, presence to oneself countering wellness procrastination. * What do you need to feel lighter, brighter, or happier in your everyday life? * * What is your self-achievement potentiality? * - For who? : For anyone who enjoys movement and dance, and desires a better connection and understanding with their moving bodies. / ​One-to-one or group sessions. - ​Where? : Online via SKYPE or at the student's location. Values: Integrity, Transparency, Respect, Cooperation * About TE : Transcendental Embodiment (TE) is the result of three years of research and development. Merging from a movement philosophy research entitled Behind & Beyond, to its phenomenological understanding. The metaphysical unity of the tangible and intangible bodies expounds on the undeniable relationships between those in the physical realm. The tangible body (the material vehicle), the intangibles bodies (psychological, emotional, energetical, and spiritual). As a dance healing practice, guiding the practitioner to conscious corporeality, and subjective emotional understanding, this methodology can also be a useful tool to improve artistry and technical skills on a deeper level, widening mindful creativity, awareness, empathy, and sensitivity. (TE) movement and dance methodology combines a meditative approach in stillness and through movement, awakening the mind, spreading the awareness into different body parts; putting a specific emphasis on improvisation skills, and musicality, following energy impulses and intuitive movement and increasing the flow of energy. Inviting the practitioners to practice resilience, non-self definition, non-judgment, self-care and self-love, integrity, and acceptance to overcome technical, physical, and mental limits holding the practitioner from his self-achievement potentiality. This approach builds itself crescendo on subjective movement reflexivity and introspective journey through the following process: ​ * The four steps: Being | Investigation | Exploration | Dedication Unconscious - Subconscious - Conscious - Transcendental Consciousness Feel free to contact me for any inquiries.
