Yoga Iyengar retreat with Christine Monnet

Christine Monnet leads this Iyengar yoga retreat at Bab Zouina, a retreat house on the Route de l'Ourika in Morocco. It is a residential yoga retreat for people who want to spend several days practising Iyengar yoga with one teacher, away from daily routine, in a setting built around yoga.

What to Expect

Bab Zouina describes yoga as its heart, and its retreats are each designed around the teacher who leads them. This one is taught in the Iyengar tradition by Christine Monnet. Teaching and workshops are part of the stay, so the days are organised around practice with her rather than around a general programme of activities.

Iyengar yoga is one of several styles taught at Bab Zouina over the year, alongside Ashtanga, Flow, Hatha, Jivamukti, Kundalini, Sivananda and Yin. Iyengar retreats come round often in the venue's calendar, which suits anyone who already has a relationship with this method and wants to deepen it in a retreat setting.

The Setting

Bab Zouina sits on the Route de l'Ourika in Morocco and hosts yoga retreats throughout the entire year. The venue works with a range of qualified teachers, and it also hosts teacher training courses that generally follow the Yoga Alliance framework. Guests stay on site, with accommodation and meals included in the retreat.

Getting there is simple to arrange: an airport transfer is part of what the retreat includes, so you do not need to plan the road journey yourself.

Before You Go

The retreat includes:

- airport transfer
- teaching and workshops
- accommodation
- meals

Some retreats at Bab Zouina add excursions or other activities, so it is worth checking the retreat brochure for this one before you plan your days. The material does not state a required level of experience, so if you are new to Iyengar yoga or unsure whether the retreat suits your practice, ask before you commit. Bab Zouina can answer questions directly.

If you are looking for an Iyengar yoga retreat in Morocco led by Christine Monnet, with teaching, lodging, meals and airport pickup in one stay at Bab Zouina, this is it.
