This is Sofia; Not only is she a captivating and beautiful woman with two little kids; she is also the owner of this chic yoga oasis in Casablanca Morocco called “Yoga Shala”.

I met her husband in July in Arugam Bay, Sri Lanka. He told me about Sofias Yoga Shala and put us in touch. We clicked right away. Things flowed swimmingly and next thing I know, I’m in Casablanca for a month; teaching classes, workshops and a teacher training.

Despite the cold weather and me being completely unprepared for a month of long pants and jumpers, I had an epic time. I loved the Yoga Shala, the people, the food and the students I met during my workshop and the training. I loved the city; the mesh of the European, African and Middle Eastern culture. The city of contrast with a traditional flair and undertone of prohibition party life.

Sofia is a remarkable woman who has created an exquisite space. She also took a chance on me and Airo, as I was just going through a rebrand, with no Instagram page and website. She believed in my vision and I feel that she helped me bring the training to the next level. We printed the manual for the first time – hard copy from here on out.

This is a woman of sophistication and finesse and I feel that some of that has rubbed off on Airo.
