Your Teachers & Therapists
Masi Fraysse
Yoga TeacherMasi’s name comes from Mahsima, “face of the moon” in Persian. Born in London to Iranian and French/Swedish parents, she now lives and teaches in Ibiza. Her childhood was steeped in poetry and mysticism, often falling asleep to the words of Rumi. That love of the sacred thread runs through every class she teaches. Masi began practising yoga with her family and committed fully at 20. Time in Sivananda ashrams across India rooted her in traditional Hatha and Bhakti, with a strong foundation in philosophy and devotional practice. She left a career in design over a decade ago and studied with Angela Farmer, Mark Whitwell and Bex Tyrer, completing a traditional apprenticeship in Bali. The first years of teaching were fiery and expansive. A serious back injury then asked for a new way. Working through nerve pain led her into deep somatic healing and emotional work. Her teaching reshaped around trauma-informed principles, Yin, and a clear respect for the body’s wisdom. Modalities such as Integrative Quantum Medicine and The Emotion Code helped her explore the emotional intelligence of the organs, which now sits at the heart of her work. At Ulpotha, mornings are Masi’s signature Hatha Flow. Expect breathwork, mantra, mudra and dynamic movement that feels grounded and alive. Afternoons slow right down with Yin Yoga and Somatic Enquiry, including gentle myofascial release with tennis balls. Classes are inclusive and adaptive so you can practise safely, feel supported and leave steady, nourished and connected. Masi is currently studying Gabor Maté’s Compassionate Inquiry, bringing fresh depth to her therapeutic approach. Her intention is simple: to hold a loving space where you can unwind, recalibrate and touch a quiet inner refuge that is always there. What you’ll experience with Masi: Morning Hatha Flow woven with pranayama, mantra and mudra Afternoon Yin and Somatic Enquiry with simple myofascial release Trauma-informed guidance and clear options for everybody A calm, devotional atmosphere that invites trust and ease.
