Morocco
Rejuvenating yoga retreats in exotic settings from spectacular mountains to rose-scented gardens
YOAS Yoga Retreats offers rejuvenating yoga escapes with experienced and inclusive teachers in handpicked Moroccan locations, from rose-scented gardens close to vibrant Marrakech and a kasbah in the Atlas Mountains to bohemian Essaouira and a bougainvillea-blanketed villa with ocean views near Agadir. Each retreat offers dynamic and restorative yoga sessions, plenty of time to relax, and nourishing meals inspired by local cuisine.
Queen of Retreats says:
‘We love the invigorating spaces where you can practise yoga on these trips. At Villa Mandala near Agadir you’ll salute the sun on a rooftop shala with panoramic views of the surf, while at the Kasbah Du Toubkal, the pure mountain air on the yoga terrace will help every ounce of city tension melt away’
