Yoga retreat with The Yoga Project

This is a yoga retreat led by The Yoga Project at Bab Zouina, a retreat venue on the Route de l'Ourika in the Marrakesh-Safi region of Morocco. It suits anyone looking for a yoga retreat in Morocco where teaching, lodging, meals and the airport transfer are arranged in one place, so the days can be given over to practice and rest.

What to Expect

The retreat is hosted and taught by The Yoga Project, and it is one of the guest-led yoga retreats that Bab Zouina welcomes through the year. Yoga is described as the heart of the venue, and each retreat there is designed around its own teacher and group. The price covers teaching and workshops, so the practice is the centre of the stay rather than an add-on to it.

Bab Zouina works with teachers across many traditions, among them Ashtanga, Flow, Hatha, Iyengar, Jivamukti, Kundalini, Sivananda and Yin. The Yoga Project's retreat is listed simply as a yoga retreat, so the particular style and daily timetable are for the teachers to shape and share with guests.

The Setting

Bab Zouina sits along the Route de l'Ourika, in the Marrakesh-Safi region of Morocco, a setting the venue describes as breathtaking. Retreats here run throughout the entire year, and the place is used to hosting groups who come specifically to practise yoga together. Accommodation and meals are provided on site as part of the stay, which lets a group settle into one rhythm for the whole retreat.

Guests are met at the airport. A transfer is part of what the retreat includes, so there is no need to work out the road to the venue on arrival.

Some retreats at Bab Zouina add excursions or other activities, and the details differ from one retreat to the next. For anything particular to this one, such as the style of practice, the level of experience expected or what to pack, it is worth asking The Yoga Project directly before you commit.

Bab Zouina also hosts teacher training courses, generally following the Yoga Alliance framework, though this retreat is a standard yoga retreat rather than a training. Depending on the retreat, guests can book either with the teacher or with Bab Zouina.
