Sample Retreat Day Schedule

What Makes This Retreat Unique?

In a world full of noise and fast-paced living, this retreat offers a deep, healing pause in the heart of Morocco. It’s not your standard yoga holiday – it’s an inner journey with space for your personal process.

We work with small groups (max. 10 participants) to ensure individual attention, meaningful connection, and deepening. Each day is carefully curated to bring you closer to yourself, at your own pace.

Yoga Styles

Our classes are tuned to the time of day and the group’s energy:

Vinyasa Yoga – A dynamic flow connecting breath and movement. Perfect for starting the day with vitality and awareness.

Hatha Yoga – A classical style focusing on balance, technique, and alignment.

Yin Yoga – A quiet, deep practice where you hold poses for longer to access connective tissue and fascia.

Yoga Nidra – Gentle, restorative classes in the afternoon or evening to deeply release and calm the nervous system.

No prior yoga experience is required. You will be guided with care and attention.

Meditation & Pranayama

Each day starts with breathwork (pranayama) and guided meditation. These practices help calm the mind, connect with your body, and begin the day with clarity and peace.

Meditation techniques may include:

• Guided visualizations
• Silent meditations
• Heart coherence & compassion meditations

No experience necessary – we guide you step by step.
