We are so excited to introduce the newest collaborator to our team, who will be leading the MOROCCO Align and Awaken retreat in 2024, AASIA LEWIS! Aasia is a yoga educator, certified somatic coach + bodyworker, and clinical speech-language pathologist (SLP), who is now based in Morocco. Recognizing that she could not “fix the mind with the mind,” Aasia’s journey into somatic coaching + bodywork stemmed from her own emerging awareness of how limiting intellectualizing and cognitive entry points were to true, embodied learning and transformation.

Her journey of yoga studentship and teachership began in the Hatha/Vinyasa Yoga sphere, fortuitously discovering a unique fusion of Ashtanga and Iyengar Yoga lineages at Kula Yoga Project in New York City, where she completed her 200-Hour Hatha & Vinyasa Yoga teacher training. With time, the precision and stability of Iyengar Yoga became the foundation for her teachings, coupled with the deeply enriching learnings she explored through continuing education on human consciousness, body mapping, emotional anatomy, non-violent communication, organic intelligence, and somatics.

The evolution of her practice and teaching maintains the fundamentals of physical alignment, with the intentional coalescing of the biological, social, and cognitive layers of our being.

We asked Aasia to send along a little note to those lucky enough to have her as a guide in Morocco…

"I'm so looking forward to sharing this journey and experience with you. The art of wholeness can at times feel like an uphill climb, with awareness and efforts added on at some of its steepest moments. The stamina for me comes from taking it one step at a time, and creating a communal space for mutual holding. Let's leave impressions for both of those, together." - Aasia

Thank you so much Aasia, we are so looking forward to what this NEW RETREAT has in store for us!
