Nourish and recharge body, mind and spirit: a yoga retreat in Morocco with Ruth Voon
Voted one of the best yoga holidays in the world by the Times and the Guardian, we have been running this retreat for 12 years. Ruth’s fantastic teaching combines with this fabulous venue to provide a retreat that is a real chance to escape the everyday stresses and strains of modern life and spend a week of self-care in beautiful surroundings. Renew, restore and rebalance!
“Ruth’s teaching makes me feel stronger physically, mentally and emotionally. She instructs in a warm and effortless manner. Every hour spent with Ruth is an hour gained in life that centres me, ready to take on the world. I’m very grateful for her positive impact on my wellness.”
Classes take place twice a day, mornings and late afternoons, either on the open-air rooftop shala with panoramic views across the mountains or inside a beautiful spacious studio.
Mornings will start with purifying pranayama techniques to balance and ground energy as we move into a dynamic Hatha flow, followed by a calming meditation practice.
You will wind down in the evening with a combination of yin yoga and myofascial release to allow any tight spots in the body to release, leaving you to float off into your evening.
The sunset sessions are designed to completely refresh and revitalize, using restful practices in order to achieve the healing mode which is at the heart of yoga; by resting in stillness we gain vital energy!
There is plenty of time between classes to enjoy the resort and/or to explore the delights of Marrakech but we will also take a day off mid-week, on Wednesday 19th, to give you the opportunity to explore further afield or make maximum use of the spa and swimming pools!
