Morocco Yoga & Culture Retreat

Join my expertly curated Morocco Yoga Retreats and seamlessly blend daily adventures with the restorative power of gentle yoga.

Spend eight days and seven nights in the stunning Ourika Valley. Our beautiful Moroccan retreat center is about 45 minutes outside of Marrakech. Here, you will enjoy striking mountain views, expertly landscaped gardens, and a fully-equipped yoga studio.

Throughout your stay, you will eat delicious homemade Moroccan food. Likewise, you will relax, renew, sip mint tea, and immerse yourself in the vibrancy and hospitality of Morocco.

Additionally, each day will feature curated cultural tours. In planning our Morocco retreat, we prioritized opportunities to interact with real people. Expect to meet a diverse range of interesting people while in Morocco.

The full itinerary and detailed booking information can be found here.

Proof of full COVID-19 vaccination is required to book this trip.

Yoga

We will have 1-2 yoga sessions each day. Our morning sessions will include mindful movement, gentle yoga, and short meditations. Our evening sessions will include calming yoga practices like yin and restorative yoga. While a basic level of yoga experience is very helpful, all sessions will be appropriate for everyone.

Bab Zouina, our yoga retreat center has a fully stocked indoor yoga space with props and mats. They also offer an outdoor yoga terrace with beautiful views of the property.

Meaningful Cultural Immersion

Nicole lived in Morocco during graduate school while she was studying International Business and Arabic. She fell in love with the country and made many friends there. On her retreats, meaningful cultural immersion and mindful travel experiences are the centerpieces while movement and mindfulness practices provide the container to process the trip.

A former Islamic Art History major, Nicole has spent the last 15 years living in and traveling to the MENA region.
