Details
Spend Christmas differently this year. Join our Christmas Yoga Retreat in Morocco and experience a week of yoga, meditation, relaxation and Moroccan hospitality, just outside Marrakech. I have organised more than 100 international retreats over the past fifteen years and lived in Morocco for four years. This retreat brings together everything I love about the country: its warmth, beautiful winter sunshine, vibrant culture and the calm of our peaceful retreat venue overlooking the Atlas Mountains. Whether you are completely new to yoga or have been practising for years, you will feel at home. Every class is adapted to the group, allowing beginners and experienced practitioners to enjoy the week together. This is more than a yoga holiday. It is an opportunity to step away from everyday life, slow down, reconnect with yourself and spend Christmas surrounded by nature, like minded people and the colours, flavours and atmosphere that make Morocco so special. Everything is included, from airport transfers and daily yoga to guided visits to Marrakech, healthy meals, meditation, a traditional hammam, massage and personal coaching. You can simply arrive, settle in and enjoy the experience.

This venue is absolutely perfect for a retreat. It's a short 40 minute drive from Marrakech, well hidden in the Moroccan countryside. Only authentic materials are used, blending perfectly into the environment. Peacocks roaming around peacefully and at least 5 cats and several dogs call this place home. The atmosphere is so relaxed, the staff is amazing – the same staff for the past 14 years – that tells you something as well, and Françoise, the owner will do everything to make you feel at home. Rooms are decorated with a nice sense of detail and you will have everything you need for a retreat. There’s a massive pool, sunbeds, most rooms have a nice terrace, the showers work and the view on the High Atlas is just stunning.
