'Myth, Movement, Mindfulness' Yoga Retreat Morocco

Morocco reminds us of the magic of stories, of 1001 Nights, and of tales told around a desert campfire under the vastness of the stars. Our yoga practice too is informed by stories – both ancient epics and the narratives of our own cultures. In this retreat we’ll draw on the power of storytelling to help us understand elements of the yoga practice and the country visit.<P>

Making sure you get to experience the amazing variety Morocco has to offer you during this once of a lifetime retreat, you will spend five days in a beautiful beach resort close to Essaouira, an area famous for its Argan trees. Here you will dive deep into your yoga practice while enjoying the sun, beach and beauty that surrounds you.<P>

From Essaouira we travel through the Atlas Mountains to the desert where we will spend two nights in a beautiful camp with white nomadic tents. Here you will learn about the nomadic culture, listen to drum music and story telling by the campfire, gaze at the stars and practice yoga with an incredible view.<P>

Each day includes a led meditation and two asana practices. Liz and Roland will lead varied classes, skilfully guiding you towards both physical challenges and deep relaxation. An optional day of silence may help you to delve deeper into self-reflection and quietude. Through myth, movement and stillness, this retreat offers a space in which we may consider the magic of our own lives.<P>
