Yoga & Adventure retreat with Ilaria Zinzani

Yoga & Adventure with Ilaria Zinzani is a yoga retreat at Bab Zouina on the Route de l'Ourika in Morocco. It suits people who want a week of yoga practice combined with time outdoors and a change of scene, and who would rather have teaching, lodging and meals arranged in one place. Ilaria Zinzani leads the retreat, which is hosted at the Bab Zouina retreat venue.

What to Expect

The retreat pairs yoga with adventure, as its title says. Teaching and workshops are part of the programme, led by Ilaria Zinzani. Bab Zouina describes yoga as the heart of the venue. Retreats run there throughout the year, each one designed around its teacher and its group. Some include additional excursions or activities, and this is the kind of retreat where a day may reach beyond the yoga room. The detailed daily schedule and session times are set out in the retreat's own brochure.

The Setting

Bab Zouina is a dedicated retreat venue on the Route de l'Ourika in Morocco, and it hosts yoga retreats across many traditions, among them Ashtanga, Flow, Hatha, Iyengar, Jivamukti, Kundalini, Sivananda and Yin. It works with qualified teachers from different backgrounds, and it also runs teacher training courses that generally follow the Yoga Alliance framework. Guests stay on site, and meals are provided as part of the stay. An airport transfer is included, so you do not need to plan the final leg of the trip yourself.

Before You Go

The price covers four things:

- Airport transfer
- Teaching and workshops
- Accommodation
- Meals

Any excursions or activities beyond these depend on the individual retreat, so the retreat brochure is the place to check what this one adds. Since it is an adventure retreat, it is worth asking the host about the activities planned and what level of fitness they assume before you pack.

Bab Zouina also welcomes teachers who want to host their own retreats at the venue, which says something about how the place is run: it is built around teachers and their groups, and each week has its own character.

If you are searching for a yoga retreat in Morocco with a teacher-led programme, a countryside venue on the Route de l'Ourika and everything from transfer to meals taken care of, this retreat with Ilaria Zinzani at Bab Zouina is one to consider.
