Presence in the Plains with Nicole Herzog

Presence in the Plains is a yoga retreat led by Nicole Herzog at Munga Plains, in Kavimba, in the Chobe region of Botswana. It is open to individual guests and taught in English, and it is suited to anyone drawn to practicing yoga in a remote corner of northern Botswana with a teacher guiding the week.

The title points to the heart of it: presence, cultivated in an open landscape. Nicole Herzog sets the tone, pace and focus of the retreat, as each teacher does at Munga Plains.

What to Expect

Munga Plains hosts a calendar of public yoga retreats through the year, and each one is led by a different teacher with her or his own style, rhythm and focus. This retreat belongs to that series and carries Nicole Herzog's approach rather than a house formula. Anyone comparing weeks at Munga Plains will find that no two feel the same, which is why the teacher matters when choosing.

The Setting

The retreat takes place at Munga Plains in Kavimba, in the Chobe region of Botswana. It sits in the northern part of the country, and the name of the retreat speaks to the open plains that surround the practice.

Before You Go

The retreat is taught in English. It is part of a series that runs from March to December, with this particular week falling in late summer on the calendar's 2027 season. Guests who are unsure whether it suits them can compare it with the other teachers' weeks at Munga Plains, each of which has its own character, before choosing.
