Behind Sessana,
a meeting and a shared passion
Sessana is, above all, the story of two paths crossing — two different worlds coming together.
We are Stéphanie and William, and we created Sessana to support yoga teachers — and more broadly anyone who teaches a physical and spiritual practice — in living their passion with peace of mind.
Our story
Stéphanie grew up in western France. After studying tourism, she moved to the foothills of Mont Blanc, where she discovered yoga — a practice that transformed her life. Very quickly, yoga became much more than a discipline: it was a path to balance and self-discovery.
Journeys to Bali and India deepened her practice and led her to train as a teacher, with the desire to share not only postures but also a philosophy of life.
William, on the other hand, grew up in the French Alps. Passionate about technology, he taught himself programming as a teenager. Before turning to software development, he worked as a ski instructor, driven by his love for the mountains.
After building a career in Paris and Marseille as a web developer, he realized something was missing: helping businesses grow was not enough to bring him meaning.
One evening, during a gathering focused on alternative lifestyles, our paths crossed. That encounter led to a partnership — in life and in vision — built around balance, nature, and a desire to share.
The birth of Sessana
When Stéphanie began teaching yoga, her classes quickly filled up. But behind this success came real challenges: the administrative load, the doubts of being a beginner, the pressure of always being “on stage.”
William saw these struggles and realized he could help. Together, we started imagining a simple, human-centered solution to ease the invisible weight teachers carry — so they could return to their true calling: teaching.
This is how Sessana was born: a mobile app at first, but above all a human project. An adventure designed to grow, with the aim of bringing teachers advice, support, and community — so they can fully live their vocation in serenity.
Our mission and values
We believe every teacher deserves to live from their passion with peace of mind.
Sessana is built on three pillars:
- Support instead of competition:
- we want to build a community where teachers grow by sharing.
- Authenticity:
- staying true to oneself and to one’s practice, without unnecessary constraints.
- Simplicity:
- providing clear, practical, and accessible tools that fit the real lives of teachers.
A word for you
Sessana was born from our journey, our passions, and our wish to give back.
Today, we hope it will become a true companion for you — yoga, Qi Gong, or Pilates teachers — helping you face everyday challenges and guiding you to live your own path with balance and peace.
