Yoga in the Fez Medina



Feel like a bit of toning, stretching and relaxation? While yoga classes in Fez are not easy to find, The View from Fez reports on the sessions held at Cafe Clock.


Leonora Vero (known as Nora) is a yoga teacher from the UK who now lives in the Fez medina. She is a trained Ashtanga Vinyasa teacher who studied under well-known yogi, Godfrey Devereux, and also spent time in a Kerala ashram learning the Sivananda Vedanta techniques.

"We combine a few breathing exercises, sun salutations, sequence postures and balances, and end with some relaxation," says Nora. "The aim is for participants to have fun, stretch out, try some new asanas (yoga positions), tone up, detox, build strength, lose weight and enjoy themselves."

Classes are given from 10h30 to noon every Tuesday, Thursday and Friday on the terrace at Cafe Clock in Derb Margana off Tala'a Kebira, opposite the Bouanania Medersa. There's a canopy to keep the sun off, and the classes cost Dh50. You don't have to be an expert - all levels are welcome and mats are provided.
