Why this Retreat?

This October, join Natasha for an incredible North African adventure in Marrakech. This retreat is a perfect reason to check in with yourself and explore the world. Marrakech is a mystical city unlike any other place in the world. History and culture abound making this destination, an ideal setting for a group retreat. Everything is organized; all you need to do is book your flight, pack your bag and arrive with an adventurous spirit and room in your suitcase for lots of goodies to bring home.

Our accommodations are at Peacock Pavilions, featured in National Geographic, and nestled in the outskirts of Marrakech on miles of olive groves and enveloped with sweeping views. Relax in one of the swimming pools, snuggle up by the fire, or simply enjoy the stunning design aesthetic or breathtaking landscape vistas.

Return home empowered, re-centred, reconnected and utterly relaxed —ready to take on the holidays and energized for the winter months to come. Think of this retreat as preventative measures for the body, mind and soul.

Outline of the Week

To invigorate you upon rising, your daily morning yoga practice will be a 75 minute vinyasa class. Vinyasa yoga is a subtle, beautiful, introspective practice, and exercise can be a side benefit as we move to sequences that will naturally create agni (heat) in the body and build strength. A wonderful farm to table breakfast follows each class and each day holds a different activity. Below is the retreat itinerary.
