Stretching – Cassis & La Ciotat – All Levels
Yoga Stretch Classes in Cassis / La Ciotat
Yoga Stretch combines the benefits of yoga and active stretching to release muscle tension, improve flexibility, and support effective recovery. Accessible to all levels, it is ideal after work or physical activity.

YOGA STRETCH
Release Tension,
Restore Your Flexibility
Yoga Stretch is a hybrid practice that combines yoga’s opening postures with active and passive stretching techniques inspired by physiotherapy.
Unlike Yin Yoga, which focuses deeply on the fascia, Yoga Stretch targets the muscles themselves — with postures held for between 30 seconds and 2 minutes.
The results are immediate and deeply felt: tension in the hamstrings, hips, back, and shoulders — the areas most commonly affected by a sedentary lifestyle or physical effort. In just one session, the body releases, relaxes, and regains a sense of space.
Daphné offers Yoga Stretch in group classes at the La Ciotat studio (Tuesday lunchtime and Thursday evening), as well as private sessions at home or online.

Answers to Your Questions
FAQ - Yoga Stretch in La Ciotat & Cassis
What is Yoga Stretch?
Yoga Stretch is a hybrid practice that combines yoga’s opening postures with active and passive stretching techniques inspired by physiotherapy. Unlike Yin Yoga, which works deeply on the fascia through long-held postures, Yoga Stretch focuses more on the muscles — with postures held between 30 seconds and 2 minutes. The results are immediate and deeply felt: the body releases, tension melts away, and a sense of space returns from the very first session.
Do I need to be flexible to practise Yoga Stretch in La Ciotat?
No — quite the opposite. Yoga Stretch is especially effective for stiff and less flexible bodies, and these are often the ones that benefit the most. No complex postures are required, only guided and progressive stretches adapted to your current range of movement. Beginners, less flexible athletes, and people with sedentary lifestyles can all feel relief from the very first session.
What are the days and times for Yoga Stretch classes in La Ciotat?
Yoga Stretch classes are offered twice a week at La Maison Yoga Pilates (3 Rue Castel, La Ciotat): Tuesdays at 12:30 pm and Thursdays at 6:00 pm. These time slots are designed to fit busy schedules — a mindful active break at lunchtime on Tuesday, and a way to release the day’s tension on Thursday evening.
Booking is available online through La Maison Yoga Pilates.
How much does a Yoga Stretch class in La Ciotat cost?
Group Yoga Stretch classes are available as a single session (€18), a 3-session discovery pack (€40, €13.30 per session), a 10-session pack (€150, €15 per session), or an unlimited monthly membership (€130 per month). Private stretching sessions at home or online are also available — pricing depends on location and frequency.
What is the difference between Yoga Stretch, Yin Yoga, and FRC Mobility?
Yoga Stretch targets the muscles through short active and passive stretches (30 seconds to 2 minutes) — ideal for recovery and muscular flexibility. Yin Yoga works more deeply on fascia and connective tissue through longer-held postures (3 to 5 minutes) — a more meditative and introspective practice. FRC Mobility develops active joint control through neurological techniques — a more technical approach focused on joint performance. The three practices are complementary.
Is Yoga Stretch suitable for athletes?
Yes — it is one of the best complementary practices for athletes. Running, cycling, swimming, weight training, and CrossFit all place significant demands on the muscles that Yoga Stretch helps release: hamstrings, hips, back, and shoulders. A session after exercise supports recovery, reduces muscle soreness, and helps prevent injuries caused by chronic tension.
Can Yoga Stretch help with back pain and chronic tension?
Yes, this is one of its most effective applications. Yoga Stretch directly targets common areas of tension: lower back, neck, shoulders, and hips. Regular practice once or twice a week can help reduce chronic discomfort linked to sedentary lifestyles, desk work, or prolonged postures. Many participants notice benefits from the first sessions.
Can I book a private Yoga Stretch session in Cassis or La Ciotat?
Yes. Private Yoga Stretch sessions are available at home in Cassis, La Ciotat, and nearby towns, as well as online. A private session allows you to focus specifically on your personal areas of tension — back, hips, shoulders, legs — with a programme fully adapted to your body and your goals.
