Namasté | Marrakech Yoga Studio

My name is Stéphanie BENETIERE. Native French and based in Marrakech, I am a Yoga Instructor and a Holistic Therapist.
After more than 20 years of practicing yoga, I decided to deepen my knowledge in yoga and holistic therapies in order to share these practices with others.
I teach Yoga and aim to guide students safely through transformation sequences that are effective, integrated, dynamic and smooth at the same time.
I can design classes to suit varying needs and abilities, evaluate performance of students and provide adjustments as required.
My intention is to hold a safe and welcoming space for students to move energy through the body, to release tensions, to build flexibly and strength and to find physical, emotional, mental and spiritual harmony through the breath.

FLOW YOGA is a very intuitive and creative yoga with infinite rhythmic variations, while keeping precision in alignment.

RESTORATIVE YOGA allows you to let go and release tensions physically and mentally. It’s an invitation to just be, holding the poses between 3 and 20 mn with props. Your body is relax, your mind is calm with a deep sensation of relaxation and rejuvenation. It is perfect if you feel stressed, tired, overbooked. It also helps to get a better immunity, lymphatic and hormonal systems.

KUNDALINI YOGA is a powerful yoga which creates conditions of body and mind to promote positive feelings, strength and happy mind. Practice can be deep with a high spirituality of loving. We use mantras, mudras, powerful breaths and we are chanting.

SOUNDMOVES YOGA is based on the resonance frequency breathing, perfect to be in the average speed of heart. Resonance sound holds the timing. We just have to synchronize the movement with the breath ; very simple movements we repeat. This practice is an invitation to let go, moving your body smoothly, and being connected with your breath.

I love yoga, health and well-being. I wish to give to my students the opportunity to get more knowledge, insight on the path of yoga, conscious living, developing healthier lifestyle and how to incorporate yoga into their daily life.
I love sharing my passion and I love travelling, discovering and meeting people. I see my work as a vocation and I am committed to help people in finding their true inner peace and their healthiest self. I like to fuse all my knowledge into my teaching so that sensitive students can feel the flow of natural energy throughout their body.

My classes are both dynamic and yin in a joyful style. I blend many different styles of yoga to offer sessions mixing yoga poses (asanas), breathing techniques (pranayamas), life force energy, movements and meditation. It is peaceful and powerful at the same time. My purpose in life is to empower others so they are able to realize they own true potential. Yoga is an essential tool to bring me back to myself and lead me towards a simpler life full of joy, happiness and love.
