Yoga Iyengar retreat with Eve Mermé

Eve Mermé leads this Iyengar yoga retreat at Bab Zouina, on the Route de l'Ourika in Morocco. It is a residential week of yoga for people drawn to the Iyengar method, with teaching, accommodation and meals all held in one place. Those who want to practise with a single teacher, away from daily routine, will find a clear structure here.

What to Expect

Iyengar yoga is a style of Hatha yoga, and it is one of the traditions Bab Zouina hosts regularly alongside Ashtanga, Flow, Hatha, Jivamukti, Kundalini, Sivananda and Yin. Eve Mermé teaches this retreat, and the programme includes teaching and workshops as part of the stay.

Yoga is described as the heart of Bab Zouina. Retreats run throughout the year, and each is designed individually around the teacher and the group. Some retreats add excursions or activities. A retreat brochure for this one is available through the venue for anyone who wants the finer detail of the programme.

The Setting

Bab Zouina is a retreat venue on the Route de l'Ourika, in Morocco. It works with a range of qualified yoga teachers and hosts teacher training courses, generally following the Yoga Alliance framework, so the place is used to serious practice as well as to week-long retreats for guests of all kinds.

The venue is described as breathtaking, and it is set up so that everything you need for the week is on site. Accommodation and meals are part of the stay, and an airport transfer is included, which means the journey to the venue is arranged for you.

Before You Go

The price of a yoga retreat at Bab Zouina includes:

- airport transfer
- teaching and workshops
- accommodation
- meals

Depending on the retreat, guests book either directly with the teacher or with Bab Zouina, so it is worth checking which applies to this one. Because some retreats include extra excursions or activities, confirm what is part of this particular week before you plan your travel and your free time.

The material does not state a required level of experience or a language of instruction, so if either matters to you, ask the teacher or the venue ahead of time. Iyengar practice is known for its attention to alignment, and a conversation beforehand about your own body and any injuries will help you get the most from the teaching.

Teachers who wish to host their own retreat at Bab Zouina can contact the venue directly. For everyone else, this Iyengar yoga retreat with Eve Mermé offers a simple arrangement: one teacher, one method, and a week at a venue built around yoga.
