Iyengar Yoga retreat with Mattia & Glenda

This Iyengar Yoga retreat is led by Mattia and Glenda at Bab Zouina, a retreat venue on the Route de l'Ourika in Morocco. It is a residential yoga retreat in the Iyengar tradition, for people who want to practise in a dedicated setting where teaching, accommodation and meals are taken care of together. Mattia and Glenda are listed as the teachers, and the retreat sits within Bab Zouina's year-round programme of yoga gatherings.

What to Expect

Iyengar Yoga is one of several styles taught at Bab Zouina, alongside Ashtanga, Flow, Hatha, Jivamukti, Kundalini, Sivananda and Yin. At this retreat, Mattia and Glenda lead the teaching and workshops. Yoga is described as the heart of Bab Zouina, and each retreat there is designed individually around its teachers, so the shape of the days reflects what Mattia and Glenda bring rather than a fixed house format.

Some retreats at the venue include additional excursions or activities. Whether this one does is best confirmed through the retreat brochure.

The Setting

Bab Zouina is a retreat centre on the Route de l'Ourika, in Morocco, and yoga is its main focus. It hosts retreats throughout the year with a range of qualified teachers, and also runs teacher training courses that generally follow the Yoga Alliance framework. Guests stay on site, so practice, rest and meals all happen in one place.

An airport transfer is part of the package, so you do not need to arrange your own journey from arrival to the venue.

The retreat price covers:

Depending on the retreat, guests book either directly with the teacher or with Bab Zouina. For this one, check the booking details on the page to see which applies.

If you are weighing it against other Iyengar retreats, note that Bab Zouina hosts many throughout the year, led by different teachers. Each has its own character, so it helps to look at who is leading and what the retreat brochure describes. Questions about experience level, what to bring or the daily schedule are best put to the organisers before you book, so you arrive knowing what to expect from your days with Mattia and Glenda.
