The teachers
A transpersonal psychotherapist, Adelaide has been accompanying women and men on their path of inner transformation for many years.
Inspired by the Institute of Integral Yoga, her training as a Sivananda Yoga teacher and her weekly practice of Iyengar Yoga for over 7 years, she also offers gentle and meditative Hatha Yoga classes, anchored and punctuated by the breaths. Through her intensive practice of Vipassana meditation, Adelaide has come to understand the importance of providing a space in which we can learn to slowly distance ourselves from our thoughts and connect with the body and the breath in order to cultivate a greater awareness of the present moment.
Her practice is deeply imbued with the teachings of Mooji, the great contemporary spiritual master of the Advaita Vedanta lineage, whose retreats, words, writings and laughter remain the foundation of her transformative momentum.
Passionate about the therapeutic power of Essential Oils on a physical, mental and emotional level, Adelaide offers AromaYoga workshops that combine the power of plants with yoga postures. Using essential oils during our yoga practice allows us to deepen our presence, our quality of attention and to rebalance the mind-body connection transforming the yoga practice into a true healing sanctuary.
Adelaide is the mother of the same little Forget-Me-Not.

Yoga is a philosophy of life that she wanted to transmit to others. She then decided to travel to Nepal, between India and Tibet at the foot of the Himalayas to follow a Yoga Teacher Training 200H. She came back transformed and enriched.
Today and since 2019, Ahlam teaches different forms of Yoga, traveling throughout Morocco whether on the beaches of Essaouira or the dunes of Dakhla, in studios in Casablanca, the forests of Benslimane or retreat centers like Bab Zouina or Mellow Beach House.

Aisha discovers yoga in 2007, since this practice has haunted her mind. After a regular practice in parallel with her studies, she realizes that she is more and more interested in Yoga & spirituality so she decided to devote herself fully to her passion and begins her first Natha Yoga training, a teaching in the tradition of Nathas Yogis of Kashmir.

She is a Yoga Alliance Registered 500hr yoga teacher. More than that, she is a lifelong yoga devotee. Her grandmother, her guardian angel, taught her headstand at the age of 8. In high school, she started a yoga club. In college, she took yoga as gym class and explored different studios and styles all around New York City. From there she trained with Seane Corn and Hala Khouri, where she learned about yoga as a vehicle for healing and connecting.
Inspired, she sought to learn more about yoga therapy, and she found her teacher, Liz Heffernan and the Soma Yoga Institute in Hawaii, where she did my 200 hour teacher training in 2014. She began teaching and continued to develop her practice in Morocco and abroad. In 2018 she completed her 500 hours of training in Rishikesh, India, integrating new learning on yoga philosophy, meditation, yin, and pranayama.
She has practiced yoga in over 12 countries, with countless different teachers and students. Her continued practice is essential to her teaching as she is always evolving towards her true self. It is a daily practice that incorporates much more than the physical. And she hopes to share it with you.

This is my soul name, received as a blessing and a way of remembering my service to the earth, of celebrating eternity awakening into its divine nature through our human form.
a few years ago i travelled to morocco, retracing my early childhood years, hungry to touch base with my meaning of home and my mirror within. as memories and multi-sensory details flooded my mind in the concrete jungle of casablanca, i was reawakened to my origins and carried home to myself.
synchronicities unfolded so quickly. i met a beautiful kundalini yoga teacher who invited me to sing the mantra we use to tune in to the universe and to ourselves ‘ong namo guru dev namo’ and this encounter changed my life, creating a bond to the teachings of the golden chain that is indescribable.
my mother, felicidad, is the kindest person i know and also a teacher. growing up, i used to spend hours teaching my imaginary students and reinventing all the games children were playing at school. my love for reinventing games stayed with me. and today, my dream is for us to reinvent reality by building healthier communities out of imagination.
i wake up each morning to pray and do this pranically powerful practice which holds my soul with so much vitality and positivity. whenever my soul crosses the limits of its ego, I feel an inner light that unifies my brain with the brain of the earth – united to you and the mind of the whole.
my calling to inspire you to believe in your infinity through your own experience of the moment, your own presence and knowledge.
I’m Anna, mother of two daughters, wife and self-employed physio therapist. Over the last few years I have been focusing on the fascinating field of the fascia. I learned how to use different methods such as Myofascial Release, Dry Needeling and Visceral Therapy. I came to understand that our fascia is more than just a part of our moving body. The fascia is our biggest sensing organ. Our mental health has an enormous impact on it and the other way around: our fascial health has an impact on our mental health. For three years now I have been connecting the physical and the mental level in my work. I am absolutely convinced that the concept of holistic therapy is the only way to go, that the connection between body and mind is the key to a healthy and peaceful life.
My name is Anetta Tiara Hartono. I’ve been walking on this earth for 24 years now being a daughter, a sister, a friend, a lover and a free woman with big dreams, spirit and much love inside of her.
Recently, in my fourth year of medical school, I decided to take a break from university. Knowing everything has its time and space, I am now focusing on my two big passions: Yoga as a transformational healing tool and Modeling as a way of self-realization.
As a certified Iyengar and Vinyasa yoga teacher, I have been passionate about meditation, body and movement for many years. In 2001, during a Vipassana (silent meditation) retreat in Asia, I was introduced to yoga. It was a revelation! I became aware of the profound unity between body and mind that the practice of asanas reveals to me. I explored and practiced different styles of yoga and meditation before discovering Iyengar yoga. It was then obvious: this precise, rigorous and intense method, a true “meditation in action”, is the one I chose to deepen and transmit. I now devote myself exclusively to my passion, Yoga, and I teach in my own Iyengar Yoga center in Geneva YOGARTAMIS: www.yogartamis.ch
I am a RYT 500h Yoga Alliance certified Hatha and Ashtanga Yoga teacher. I did my training in the Multi Style Yoga School (Shiva Yoga Peeth) in Rishikesh, India.
My encounter with yoga came during a troubled period of my life. The yoga philosophy helped me to come out of a personal and professional crisis where I could no longer see the end. Since then, I have been practicing yoga regularly and made it my way of life.
After more than 10 years of experience in marketing and customer relations, I decided to combine my passion for exchange with my philosophy. Knowing perfectly the business environment and its constraints, it is for me a great pleasure to share with my students this virtuous practice during yoga retreats, team building, yoga classes or conferences on corporate well-being.
From my many years of classical dance and other styles I have kept the taste for effort, requirement, perseverance and the search for precision. But above all, I discovered a feeling of lightness and freedom in body and mind that was imprinted in me.
The body as an instrument of transformation and liberation.
When I later began to practice Iyengar® Yoga, the positive effects and changes were so striking that this practice quickly became a central part of my life.
I practiced intensely for several years before taking the Iyengar® Certified Teacher Training in Pune, India (RIMYI). This basic training, which lasts a minimum of 3 years, is just the beginning of a continuous learning process.
My teachers are direct students of BKS Iyengar: Faeq and Corine Biria (Paris), Michael Forbes (Munich), Lois Steinberg (USA), Birjoo Mehta, Zubin Zarthoshtimanesh (India) as well as the teachers of RIMYI in Pune.
Today, I am entirely dedicated to practice and teaching and I continue to train with my teachers and the Iyengar family (his children and grandchildren) during regular stays at the institute in Pune. I am currently certified Junior 1.
In my centre in Marrakech (Iyoma, Iyengar® Yoga centre) I welcome students of all ages. The classes are progressive and in line with the teaching of BKS Iyengar.
I am registered with the French Association of Iyengar Yoga® (www.afyi.fr), guarantor of the respect of the ethics, the essence and the integrity of this teaching.
Brittany has lived in or near the mountains her whole life: born in Colorado, Brittany moved to Utah for university and never left. When she’s not practicing or teaching yoga, she is often found wandering the mountains with her dog, Rumi.
Brittany has been teaching yoga since 2008 and opened her studio, The Yoga Underground, in Provo, Utah in 2010. She believes yoga is much more an all-encompassing lifestyle than a physical workout. After participating in trainings in Utah, Australia, Cambodia and Bali, Brittany developed the flow style she named Taṇhā Yoga:ca practice that was significantly influenced by the ancient teachings of Samaya Tantra. Taṇhā Yoga places high value on developing intuition; Brittany’s teachings combine the poses and fluid transitions of vinyasa flow with the expansiveness, soul-searching, and grace inherent in Samaya Tantra. Taṇhā means “having a thirst for living,” and her practices are designed to ignite creative self-expression, leaving you feeling strong, light-hearted, open-minded and optimistic.
Brittany loves traveling, adventuring, and exploring, and has taught classes, workshops, and yoga teacher trainings all over the world – but she’s always excited return home to her studio, her pup and the mountains.

Since childhood, Chidinma has sought and loved physical expression and movement.
This led her through various dance styles and dance therapy ultimately to yoga.
In 2019, Chidinma completed her first yoga teacher training. In the meantime, she attained knowledge of about 800 hours of training. A particular focus of her training is therapeutic yoga, which means she places special emphasis on the anatomically correct execution of the asanas.
“The alignment-oriented teaching of the asanas is very important to me! So, in addition to a holistic practice from pranayama to meditation, it is a good intention of mine to accompany my students, right from where they are, deeper into the asanas with the right keyactions.”

My life path has always brought me closer to ‘care’.
As the daughter of a pharmacist, I have always had this notion of caring, healing, and curing in my consciousness. I worked for a long time in a hospital in Switzerland, then in a medical practice. This has always brought me closer to this same desire to take care of others, and to bring a more ‘holistic’ touch to this approach: I have been practicing yoga for almost 10 years and I am a therapeutic masseuse and Ayurveda therapist.
I have traveled, one of my great passions, to train as close to the source as possible (India & Thailand): I learned Hatha Vinyasa yoga in Thailand, I spent time in an ashram in India, I learned Ayurveda in Goa and Thai massages in Bankok and yin yoga in Switzerland with Nico Luce.

A Quebecer, it was at the age of 18, during his first solo trip to Western Canada, that he discovered yoga. After three months of discovery, he returned to Montreal where yoga quickly became a central axis of his path, from which the rest of his life was harmonized. Thus, in parallel with his literary studies and his studies in music composition, he will train at the Institute of Integral Yoga in New York in 2011 and will give his first classes in the winter of 2012. This will be for him, from the beginning, his way to take part in this great adventure that is the transformation of human consciousness – his way to sow the seeds of peace in the human heart and to cut the roots of darkness. Yoga is for him a path of radical transformation. With his wife Adelaide, he moved to France in 2013. It is there that he will discover the teachings of BKS Iyengar which will constitute a true revelation. In 2015, he will study with Isabelle Mullie to deepen this practice and her teachings and will obtain the teaching certificate of Yoga Iyengar Base II in the fall of 2018.

Originally from Alsace, I have always had a taste for travel and have spent a large part of my life abroad, and it was in the South West London area that I first discovered yoga.

Practicing Yoga since 2005, and teaching classes, trainings and retreats as my main occupation since 2012, I love teaching and guiding you through slow paced yoga classes. To nourish the physical body, our mind, spirit and soul.
The yoga asanas I see as tools that also enables us to access our deeper, hidden energetic and emotional layers. Where our life force, creativity and dreams are stored.
Yoga is a way of life. A life philosophy as well as a spiritual practice. This will sometimes be discussed during practice. As we practice yoga, our view on life is constantly changing, allowing us to open up to life in a different way and from a wider angle.
I am trained in Yin, Restorative and Vinyasa Yoga, my teachings are a blend and a mix inspired by my teachers, my own practice and very much inspired by all my wonderful students I have taught over the years.
I am also a creative, a former fashion stylist and designer. I love fashion and still have a side hustle where I create comfortable, oversized and colorful clothing.
Living in Bergen/Norway, my work is my passion, I do try to balance everything, but usually end up doing what others would call work. I call it a lifestyle.
I am looking forward to meeting you on a retreat, training or workshop. Welcome.

She teaches regularly in Val Thorens (Savoy) and Annecy and offers Dance Fusion Yoga workshops in the Rhônes Alpes region.
Nezha Rhondali (alias Lisa Dali) is a committed Moroccan-French artist who believes in the power of dance and performance art for individual and collective well-being.
She grew up in Lyon, matured in Spain and revealed herself in her travels. From a very young age, she always knew how to deepen her artistic curiosities, but after six years of law school and four years working for a multinational solar energy company, she found herself literally disconnected from her body and her dreams. To reclaim her life, she decided to embark on a “trans-formation” journey of self-discovery and learning.
During these two years of improvised travels, she trained in Contact Improvisation, Dance Improvisation, Inclusive Dance, Somatic Techniques and also in Permaculture. She has followed imminent teachers and had the opportunity to integrate different groups of “artistic laboratory” as for example in Massachussets (Earthdance), in Montreal, in Madrid or in Montevideo (Uruguay). Through these trips, she was able to lay the foundations of her “artistic identity” and her “commitment as a citizen of the Earth”.
She ended her trip in Morocco in 2013. Since then, she has not stopped teaching and sowing seeds of projects that have given birth to a Moroccan and international community around the association Irtijal. In 2019, she created the company IRTIJAL Morocco and performs in situ on committed themes. Since the end of 2020, she holds the position of artistic programmer at Le Cube – independent art room. She found in this structure a committed philosophy and a dynamic development of the local art scene that are dear to her. At Le Cube, she has created a new approach to performance art by approaching visual art from the artist’s action, his or her body action, and thus transforming art into a collective experience.
Nezha has completed the Integral Yoga training (Driss Benzouine – Fédération francophone de yoga). Since then, she has been working on the development of a practice linking yoga and dance.
The retreats proposed by Nezha are an opportunity to rediscover the contact and the link to nature through a sensory opening allowed by dance and yoga.

From the moment I became a certified Yoga Teacher I’ve travelled far and wide to share my passion and knowledge with as many people, that “Yoga is for everyone”. Niki’s teaching journey began in 2015 teaching Aerial yoga in a school setting to children with autism as well as Breathing and flow to staff for relaxation. From an education setting Niki gradually expanded into teaching private and public yoga classes and workshops around Leeds, Calderdale and Craven. During the pandemic In 2020 she spent time at Bab-zouina retreat in Morocco teaching yoga to children in the local village; in 2021 went to Mexico to co-teach Yoga Teacher Training programmes. Niki enjoys making Yoga accessible, exploring breathwork to train the nervous system, and meditation to calm the mind. She enjoys the challenge of turning complex information into simple instruction, and help people understand how to ‘feel’ in each pose. Niki remains a dedicated teacher and eternal student of Yoga.
Ex classical dancer, born in Paris in 1973, Ophélia began dancing at the age of 4 years. Iyengar Yoga appeared in her life around the age of 13. She discovered pedagogy much later, when she met Christian Pisano and June Whittaker Pisano at the Iyengar Yoga Institute in Nice. She then began a 3-year training with them, following which she became a teacher at the Institute. Today, she continues to assist and give classes and internships on the French Riviera and elsewhere. She is a Junior II graduate since March 2016.
Personal practice, participation in refresher courses and regular retreats are part of the life of a yogi and allow to continue the exploration, both technical, educational and spiritual of this art. To have met BKS Iyengar in person, in Pune, India and to have observed for a few months, will remain forever engraved in his memories.
Rajaa is passionate about spirituality. It is in India that she completed her training in Hatha Sivananda in Kerala, Hatha Yoga in the ashram of Sadhguru in Isha Foundation, and in Barcelona the Flow vinyasa in Yogalinda. Recently settled in Morocco, she aspires to share her knowledge and spread the love.
Her encounter with Iyengar yoga dates back to her university period in 1986. She followed Christian Pisano’s teaching in its ‘pure and strict’ form. After many internships and training in France, Italy and India (Ramamani Iyengar Memorial Yoga Institute, RIMYI), she then followed and assisted Christian Pisano in his courses in England, the United States, France and Italy. Since 2006, she has founded her own training center near Bergamo in Italy where she regularly teaches and frequently hosts world-renowned teachers.
Founder with Renan de Germain, of the Espace Nataraja, in Paris, I took over the direction of the Espace alone until 2023. As an actress, it is through theater that I met yoga. From then on, my taste for yoga will never cease to grow and to accompany my daily life. For more than twenty years, I have never stopped training to enrich my practice, my knowledge of yoga and my teaching. I propose an open teaching, in the tradition of yoga, precise, combining concentration, alignment of the posture, movement, breath and nervous relaxation.
-I have a teaching diploma from the CEFTY (European Center for Yoga Training) approved by the FEHNAY, Hatha, Ashtanga, Vinyasa, Pranayama. Work on breathing and deep relaxation.
-Chandra karma yoga teacher diploma (yoga temple: Mathew Sweenay) -Iyengar yoga teacher diploma, having followed the teacher training with Faëq Biria. I continue to train throughout the year with Corine and Faëq Biria, direct disciples of Master BKS Iyengar.
As an assistant to Corine Biria in the Yoga Therapy class, I complete my training to be able to teach in a way that is adapted to people who are more fragile or have particular problems. I regularly go to India to study at the Iyengar Yoga Institute (RIMYI) in Pune.

After many years of teaching, she decided to set up Teacher Training courses certified and internationally recognized by Yoga Alliance to train future yoga teachers. Since 2019 she has already trained more than a hundred teachers in France, and is passionate about this human adventure.

It is today with great love that she accompanies you on yours…
I am a physical therapist and yoga teacher for over ten years, certified Yoga Alliance, therapist and lifestyle consultant according to Ayurveda. Founder of kinesun (physiotherapy and wellness company at home and in companies), Founder of Yoga & Therapy Studio in Casablanca.
I accompany many students on a daily basis, through my individual classes, group classes, workshops and retreats. I attach great importance to the preservation of the body’s integrity and the prevention of injuries. My knowledge of anatomy allows me to adjust each posture to the specificities of each person’s body, to his or her current possibilities but also to his or her objectives.
My practice has as its main intentions benevolence, gratitude, compassion and self-love, combining rigor and elegance with gaiety and letting go. Perpetually inviting students to connect their bodies and minds, seeking and respecting their limits.
I am convinced that yoga is a whole, a development of oneself in all areas of life, a beautiful way to realize oneself.
How do you introduce yourself to others when you are multiple? I would say that I embody the “artist” who is passionate about people and the magic of creation. For 15 years, I have navigated between a career as a business engineer and my passion as an international dancer-choreographer. Ten years ago, following a burnout that echoed with the call to the sources of mother earth, the change was obvious to guide me towards my voice of transformation.
I trained in body-psychology and energy therapies, art-dance therapy and yoga. An integration lived in each of my cells that testify to my life mission as a holistic therapist in order to humbly accompany any person in search of wellness and physical and emotional psychic balance.
I transmit through master classes, team building and retreats that I design according to my inspirations. I call them cosmic “rendez-vous” that bring together beings whose soul has chosen to live the in-perience in the ex-perience to let all the beauty of our humanity emerge and to restore the “social cord” with delicacy and benevolence and to co-create together emotions that make us vibrate and remind us of the magic of life!

Her approach to yoga is sometimes relaxing, sometimes stimulating, but always an adventure in itself. She sees yoga as a wonderful link between the spiritual and the physical that allows everyone to find their balance and contribute to overall harmony.
I know we all carry deep wisdom within our bodies and our souls. If we tap into this wisdom and unfold our inner strength we are indeed able to move mountains. At the same time most of us lose themselves in busy modern day life, caught up between work hustle and superficial digital spaces. As a result we cannot sense ourselves anymore, we can neither feel our inner strength nor trust ourselves and the wisdom we carry.

This makes it essential to always consider the people you are surrounded by and the relationships you have with them.
