Winter 2024 Marrakech yoga retreat - fully booked
Saturday February 24 - Tuesday February 27, 2024
After a pause of over four years, and previously over ten years running Morocco yoga retreats, we are thrilled to announce our first long yoga weekend in Marrakech since the Covid pandemic.
It’s our favourite time of year in this wonderful country, with average day-time highs of 21 degrees and seven hours’ sunshine, tempered by cold, atmospheric nights when the scent of woodsmoke drifts over the city.
Hosted by a lovely trusted Marrakech-centre Riad, with just six comfortable bedrooms, and a max 10-12 spaces, this three-night winter retreat will include five yoga sessions, comfortable en-suite accommodation and all meals (generous brunch, afternoon tea, dinner - all meals vegetarian). Extra nights can be booked.
We’ll enjoy accessible mindful yoga in the lovely courtyard area, which now has a plunge pool at the centre. At times your practice will be accompanied by the evocative sound of the call to prayer, and will be followed by a lovingly prepared Moroccan brunch or evening meal. In between these times we’ll serve Moroccan afternoon tea, with home made cake and some healthy options too!
Morning yoga classes will be more active and flowing, though still mindfully taught and suitable for most people (please get in touch before booking if you are unsure whether classes will be right for you).
Evening sessions will be far more gentle, underscored by mindfulness and guided relaxation. Experienced yoga teacher and yoga therapist Vikki Stevenson will be teaching the classes, with Lucia co-hosting. For more about Vikki, please see below.
The retreat will formally begin with the first evening meal on the Saturday (no yoga class this evening), ending with early yoga and brunch on Tuesday morning.
Please note: if available, extra nights may be booked before or after the retreat, with bookings made directly with the Riad. Similarly, you may wish to book a massage onsite during the retreat, which will be booked and settled directly with the venue.
This long weekend yoga retreat in the heart of our favourite city, Marrakech, has been designed to appeal to your senses, restore your equilibrium and invite a fresh perspective - something that spending time in such a different culture, and country, can naturally invite.
