Stéphane Haskell

Author Director named "Goodwill Ambassador" for yoga by UNESCO

Director, photojournalist, and writer, Stéphane Haskell spent 12 years at the Sipa Press agency before turning to documentary filmmaking. His films shot around the world are broadcast on French (TF1, France 2, France 5, and LCP) and international channels. Recently, his film, BREATHE: Yoga a Breath of Freedom, aired on Public Sénat and reached over 1 million viewers, winning numerous awards at festivals in the United States. It was accompanied by the release of a book RESPIRE (Editions Michel Lafon) where he recounts his healing through yoga and his quest around the world on the benefits of this practice, as well as a practical guide YOGA AU FIL DES JOURS. Appointed "Goodwill Ambassador" for yoga by UNESCO, Stéphane Haskell has since given numerous conferences across France and Europe. Following the success of BREATHE, the project has developed into a feature film with new shoots for a theatrical release of DEBOUT in France and then in Germany in April 2019. His new project focuses on Sound and its therapeutic virtues, with a book (ECOUTE Editions Le Courrier du Livre) and a film SOUNDS in writing accompanying it.
