GLENNA
Glenna Larsen is a 200 Hour YTT instructor, sound healing practitioner and kirtan/singing circle facilitator currently residing in Tamraght, Morocco. She grew up in the majestic mountains of Brecon Beacons in Wales (UK) and has been deeply connected with nature from a young age, which has shaped and informed how she interacts with the world. She is certified in vinyasa, restorative and yin and deeply interested in the power of Bhakti yoga, the power of love and devotion to the Divine to connect to self and others and reach higher states of consciousness.
In her classes Glenna combines pranayama (Breathwork), mantra and asana (poses) to find a sense of integration and peace within.
Music being an integral part of her journey through this life, she now finds herself going deeper into the journey of sound as medicine for the body, mind and spirit. She is a classically trained violinist, playing violin from the age of 7 years old, and after many of her adult years playing in bands and moving in music industry circles, she decided to take her musicianship and knowledge of vibration and sound into a more holistic and wholesome direction; she has been sharing her knowledge of yoga and sound-healing properties, working in surf camps, hotels, retreat centers, collaborating on participatory concerts, retreats and organizing sound ceremonies.
Having now lived in Tamraght for almost a year after a long stint in London, it is here that her calling for holding singing circles and using the power of the voice to unlock the emotions and connect to the heart space has solidified. She honed her skills to lead kirtan under Nikki Slade (UK) and is dedicated to helping people quieten their inner critic through connecting to the deeper divine Self.
She is passionate about carefully curating healing sound baths with Tibetan singing bowls, crystal bowls and violin amongst an array of other sound instruments.
Expect to find a sense of joy and connectedness after participating in her Bhakti yoga classes and deeply relax during her yin+sound healing sessions.

Kawthar
Born in Morocco, I grew up immersed in a world where spirituality and somatic movements were imbedded in our soul.
I hold a unique philosophy that dance and yoga are complementary practices, for both the body and soul. So, after 20 years in the dance world I immersed myself in studying various styles of yoga, from Hatha to Aerial to Yin, and developed a distinctive teaching style that emphasizes flow, balance, alignment and mindfulness.
I am thrilled to continue sharing my passion for dance and yoga with the world, inspiring others to find harmony
and joy in the union of these beautiful practices
