An experienced team dedicated to you
Desire Dea–Your certified yoga teacher
Creator & founder of DESI READY TO MOVE
Certified in Pilates (MatWork 1, 2, and 3) and holding a 200-hour YTT from the Vikasa school in Thailand, I have been teaching Hatha, Vinyasa, Asthanga, and Yin yoga in group and individual classes for several years.
Trained in Buddhist philosophy, I followed Vipassana, an ancient Indian meditation technique, at the Suan Mokkh Sanctuary in Bangkok, to learn the teachings of Buddhadasa Bhikkhu.
Physical practice with yoga postures, breath-centered exercises, Buddhist philosophy, and meditation are the pillars of each of my classes. With generosity and kindness, I adapt each session to your needs. My mantra: There is no level in yoga, just the desire to discover and discover yourself and to access inner peace.

Marjorie Lac–Your certified Ayurveda consultant
Creator of good-veda & founder of My Peace Retreat
I started practicing yoga several years ago to recover from a physical injury. Not only did I witness improvements in my body's flexibility, but it also transformed my mindset and helped me navigate the challenges I face in my life, including multiple traumas. In parallel, I delved into the study of Ayurveda, this beautiful ancient medicine. It completely transformed my daily routine and allowed me to feel in harmony with my body and at peace in my mind. I provide a wide range of treatments for individuals experiencing various discomforts.
I have participated in several yoga retreats and have extracted the best elements from each experience to create My Peace Retreat. Collaborating with one of the finest yoga teachers I know, Stephanie, we have integrated the most effective practices and tools to live each day at its best.

"I found everything incredibly helpful"
"I am learning to change my diet and sleep schedule based on my body type, which is slowly helping me work on issues ive had with energy and digestion. So far its been very helpful. I have also found it really beneficial to exercise before eating in the morning as it helps with stimulating my apetite.
I am incredibly grateful for everything and looking forward to keeping up with practicing ayurvedic principles in my daily life. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. 🙏 😊"

I felt freed from negative tensions and reconnected with my body and mind. I really appreciated the slowness of her movements, the precision of her technique, the warmth and generosity of her spirit, and at the same time, her discretion during this bubble of happiness.”

“ Her techniques also have a very spiritual aspect”
“I was fortunate to meet Marjorie during a somewhat complicated period in my life on multiple levels, and I am truly delighted with this encounter. Not only does Marjorie master various massage techniques perfectly—exactly the style of massage I had been searching for for a long time—but her techniques also have a very spiritual aspect. Every time, I leave feeling extremely relaxed and at ease; the benefits are immediate and very pleasant. Beyond that, Marjorie is a beautiful, radiant person with very positive energy that she manages to convey through both her massages and her attentive listening and understanding. I always look forward to the next massage, finding genuine well-being and change, both physically and mentally. I can't thank her enough for these spectacular changes.“
