Yoga retreat with Anne-Laure Visconti

Yoga retreat with Anne-Laure Visconti at Bab Zouina, on the Route de l'Ourika in Morocco, is a week of yoga, teaching and shared time away, led by Anne-Laure Visconti. It suits anyone looking for a yoga retreat in Morocco where the practical side is handled, so the days can be spent practising, resting and eating well with a small group.

What to Expect

The retreat is built around teaching and workshops with Anne-Laure Visconti, who hosts her own group at Bab Zouina. Yoga is the heart of this venue, and retreats here are designed one at a time around the teacher leading them, so the character of the week comes from Anne-Laure's own approach rather than a fixed house programme.

Some retreats at Bab Zouina add excursions or other activities on top of the yoga. Whether this one does is something to confirm with the host before you travel, along with the daily timetable.

The Setting

Bab Zouina is a retreat venue on the Route de l'Ourika, and it describes itself as a breathtaking place to practise. It runs yoga retreats throughout the year and works with a wide range of teachers. Over time the styles taught there have included Ashtanga, Flow, Hatha, Iyengar, Jivamukti, Kundalini, Sivananda and Yin. It also hosts teacher training courses with qualified teachers, generally following the Yoga Alliance framework, so the space is used to serious, committed practice.

The retreat price covers an airport transfer, so your arrival is looked after from the moment you land in Morocco. Accommodation and meals are part of the stay as well, which means you can settle in once and stay put for the week.

Before You Go

Included in the retreat:

- Airport transfer
- Teaching and workshops
- Accommodation
- Meals

Depending on the retreat, guests book either directly with the teacher or through Bab Zouina, so it is worth checking which applies here. Because certain retreats include extra excursions or activities, ask what is part of this one if you want to plan your free time.

If you are weighing this against other yoga retreats in Morocco, the useful questions to put to the host are about the style of yoga Anne-Laure teaches, the level of experience she expects, the language of instruction and the daily rhythm. Those details shape the week more than anything else, and the host is the right person to answer them. What is settled is the setting at Bab Zouina, the all-in arrangement of transfer, lodging, meals and teaching, and a teacher-led week away from ordinary routines.
