Details
Day 1
Welcome to Marrakech – enjoy a brief tour of this bustling city before an opening circle and welcome dinner at the riad
Morocco welcomes you with open arms to the vibrant city of Marrakech – the heart and soul of the country. This area is home to energetic markets, chic palaces, gorgeous mosques, and lush gardens. From the souks to the desert, you can see it all from this prime location.
Upon arrival, meet your driver and group at the airport and travel to your stunning accommodation in the heart of the medina. After check-in, you’ll be taken on a brief orientation tour to get your bearings and see what Marrakech is all about.
Once you return to the riad, you’ll have some free time before the opening circle with Lindsay and a welcome dinner on the riad grounds. Get to know your fellow retreaters, indulge in the local cuisine, set your intentions for the retreat, and enjoy your first night in Marrakech.
Day 2
Discover the hidden treasures that await within the medina on a guided city tour in between yoga sessions with Lindsay
Awake to the beauty of Mararkech in your riad, surrounded by traditional Moroccan decor and the vibrant energy of the city. We’ll begin each day with the sunrise and coffee, followed by a 90-minute yoga class. Today, Lindsay will guide us through a centering Ashtanga Vinyasa session where we can wake up the body, the mind, and the spirit for a full day in the city. From here, we’ll fuel up with a delicious breakfast spread, then head out into the medina with a local guide who will show us all the major landmarks that are a must-see in the area. We’ll visit the stunning Majorelle garden, a variety of ornate palaces, and several historical monuments.
After the tour, you’ll have ample free time in the afternoon to explore at your own pace, grab lunch, and shop for souvenirs. When the sun sets, we’ll meet back up at the riad for a 60-minute handstands workshop to prepare us for our aerial training. From here, we’ll close out the night with a delicious dinner where we can come together and share the highlights of our day.
Day 3
Get your body moving with a morning yoga session before we head to the beach for a few days of coastal bliss
Rise with the sun, enjoy that morning cup of coffee, and breathe in the stillness in the city. Wake up the body and the mind during our morning yoga session, then enjoy a delicious breakfast spread before we pack up and travel to our next destination. Today, we’re headed to the fishing village of Taghazout. This charming coastal area is known for its beaches, calling all surfers to enjoy the waves. The area also features a colorful downtown with cafes, shops, and ancient history, along with the quiet beach vibes perfect for any retreat. Upon arrival, you’ll have ample time to get checked in, grab lunch, and enjoy the Moroccan sunshine.
Once we’re settled and the sun begins to set, we’ll meet in the shala and participate in a handstands workshop overlooking the coastline. Our night ends with a group dinner at the resort and the sounds of waves rolling into the sand. Enjoy it all.
Day 4
Enjoy a day of aerial activities, Yin Yoga, and ample time for beachside fun
Today, we get to see the world and our yoga practice from a new perspective as we start the day with an Aerial Yoga class led by Lindsay. Learn to tone your body, deal with your emotions, and calm your mind as you hang from the rafters – stretching, moving, and breathing in new ways with the coast as your serene backdrop. From here, the day is yours to command. Enjoy breakfast at the resort and see where the day takes you. Book a surf lesson, hang on the shoreline, or go in search of treasures in the colorful streets of Taghazout.
When the sun sets, we’ll come together for a Yin Yoga session to help us wind down and center after a day in the sun. Close out the night with a group meal and prepare for another day of movement, sun, and Moroccan fun.
Day 5
Spend time resting and relaxing on the shoreline in between yoga sessions with Lindsay
It’s our last full day in Taghazout, and we want to ensure you have the perfect experience in paradise. We’ll start and end our day on the mat with an aerial session in the morning and Yin Yoga at night. The space in between is yours to command. Grab some souvenirs, enjoy lunch at a local cafe, read a book in the sun, or see where the day takes you. No matter what you choose, embrace every moment with joy and tranquility in this serene Moroccan respite.
Day 6
Head back to Marrakech and spend some time in the Agafay Desert on your last day in Morocco
Rise and shine with the sun because we have a big day ahead of us. After coffee, morning yoga, and breakfast, we’ll check out of our beachside paradise and head back to the city to drop our bags at the riad. After some free time for market shopping, we’ll head into the Agafay Desert to enjoy the mountain backdrop and the small villages scattered throughout.
Once we return to the city, we’ll relax and renew with a Yin Yoga session and a farewell dinner to close out a week of transformation in Morocco. Use this time to reflect on all that you’ve seen, learned, and accomplished.
Day 7
All good things must come to an end…say goodbye to magical Morocco
Unfortunately, our time in Morocco has come to an end. After six days of yoga, exploration, and inner awareness, we have to say farewell to this magical country. We’ll still have time to enjoy our morning coffee and one last Ashtanga Vinyasa class before we close out the retreat, pack up, and take our transfer to the airport.
We hope this experience has been a transformative one for your yoga practice and for your soul. Safe travels and be well!
