Morocco

Get ready to embark on the adventure of a lifetime! Morocco is one of the most culturally rich and interesting places in the world. Morocco is defined by the Mediterranean Sea to the north, Atlantic Ocean to the west, and the Atlas Mountawins and Sahara Desert to the south and east. These features provide a diverse landscape dotted with ancient cities, expansive Argan forests, and stretches of empty beaches.

Our Morocco yoga retreats are unique as you will not be staying in one location, but rather traveling to two different cities, Marrakech & Essaouira, which, in our opinion, represent the “must see” highlights of Morocco.

We begin by spending 2 nights in the culturally rich city of Marrakech. Nestled in the foothills of the Atlas Mountains, Marrakech was founded as a city in 1062 AD, and is world renowned for its souks (markets) and medieval maze-like streets, stunning mosques and palaces, relaxing hammans (Moroccan baths), delicious food, and much more.

We spend the remaining 5 nights, and majority of the retreat, in the peaceful hills outside the walled city of Essaouira. Nicknamed the Pearl of the Atlantic, this cultural city is famed for its rich music and arts scene, and was home to many famous artists and musicians in the 60’s and 70’s. The old medina boasts some of the finest handmade arts and crafts (get ready to shop ‘til you drop!), as well as all of the traditional colors, aromas, music and spices of Morocco. A large crescent bay, sits just south of the walled city, and has attracted ocean sports enthusiasts, and beach-goers, for decades. While in Essaouira, we include 4 cultural excursions & tours, a dinner out downtown, and enjoy an evening of live traditional music to cap off the perfect Morocco Yoga Retreat!
