With October upon us, the carefree days of summer are a distant memory, marking a return to stress, deadlines and burnout. The launch of the new Studio Om Yoga Marrakech feels like a blessing for both enthusiasts seeking physical and spiritual benefits, and those curious about improving their well-being. The studio offers fifteen types of yoga across twenty-four classes, taught by passionate teachers from around the world.
The harmony between body and mind
Stepping inside, we're immediately immersed in a minimalist setting bathed in soft light, soothing and awakening our senses simultaneously—it's a curious sensation. The magic continues as we step into the warm class space, bordered by a refreshing pool. To start our spiritual journey, yoga instructors Aurélie and Nabil introduce us to aerial yoga. This playful form, a cross between yoga and circus arts practiced on a hammock, literally gives us wings! Suspended less than a meter from the ground, we move through poses that engage the postural muscles essential for body support and flexibility. It's a surprising experience that ends with a moment of relaxation in our hammock-turned-cocoon; time stands still, and worldly worries fall away magically...
After a detox juice shot, we feel reinvigorated and ready for a new workshop: vinyasa. This practice, aimed at synchronizing movement and breath, also helps eliminate toxins and impurities through sweat while strengthening our muscles. Even as beginners, the sequence of poses flows naturally as we let our breath guide us; it becomes a fluid choreography.
To wrap up our day as budding yogis, the instructors suggest a yin yoga workshop, a gentler shade of the discipline. In a zen musical atmosphere, we begin slow poses focused on stretching and deep breathing. Targeting the connective tissues, this practice enhances postural alignment and organ tonification while allowing us to relax in a spirit of let-go. This passive yoga session marks the end of an enriching experience filled with discovery and sensation. Light-hearted, limber, and stress-free, we leave the studio with one desire: to return as soon as possible!
In line with the studio's healthy and well-being ethos, the Jamra restaurant menu has been revamped to now feature meticulously crafted dishes packed with vitamins to detoxify your body. Vegetarian wraps, poke bowls, salads, herbal iced teas, vegetable juices... let the sun-kissed recipes tantalize your taste buds.
And don't hesitate to spend a day with the family, as while you attend your yoga class, work out in the fitness room, or relax by the pool, your kids can have fun at the "P'tits Moussafirs" Kids Club!
