What you can expect from your yoga holiday...
Outstanding stylish accommodation...Named one of the Top 12 Ethical Hideaways, Harper's Bazaar describes Tigmi as "a blissed-out haven that mixes style with substance". With its view of an ancient kasbah and its backdrop of snow-capped peaks you would never know this haven of peace is just 15 miles from the buzz of Marrakech.
Fabulous food... Together we'll enjoy three nourishing and delicious meals, and at the end of the day meandering corridors and courtyard paths lead to individually and authentically designed bedrooms. All comfortably furnished with air-conditioning, en-suite bathrooms and specially made bath, shower and body products.
Transformational yoga... Twice-daily sessions will be interwoven with threads of Anusara, Katonah Vinyasa and Kundalini Yoga as well as Philosophy + Positive Psychology Meditation. Take the time to challenge the mind to empower the spirit. Find an easeful expression in the body and uncover a clearer perspective on the vision you have for yourself and your life. Realise the power and the joy that exists in the ever present moment.
Spend your days...
Exploring the grounds and relaxing by the pool... Between classes, lounge on the comfortable beds by one of two fabulous pools, explore the beautifully scented gardens of citrus trees, roses, hibiscus and bougainvillea. Discover one of the many hidden peaceful spots to read and relax, or why not experience a true taste of Morocco with mint tea on the terrace.
Pamper yourself... Tigmi features a fabulous spa and hammam (traditional bath house), both of which use natural, chemical-free ingredients sourced nearby. Download our spa pricelist
Walking... Beautiful and facinating walks can be taken in every direction from Tigmi. From a walk around the local village to the wide open terrain leading towards the foothills of the High Atlas Mountains.
Exploring Natural Morocco... The nearby Atlas mountains offer an opportunity to experience Morocco's countryside at it's wildest. Tours can be arranged by the Tigmi team for half- and full-day trips.
There is a beautiful lake (Lake Talla Tak) situated in the foothills of the High Atlas Mountains about 10-15 minutes drive from Tigmi where you can enjoy a traditional Berber meal in one of the restaurants on the shore. We are happy to make reservations and arrange taxis for you.
Visit the must see UNESCO world heritage site of the Medina (old city) of Marrakech... Take the free shuttle from Tigmi to the Ochre city of Marrakesh and experience the magic of the Medina. Snake charmers, acrobats, musicians and story-tellers await you in the main square, Djemaa el Fna, while narrow streets lead into the labyrinth of souks, alive with colour and sound.
