New Year retreat with Mira Tarabeine

The New Year retreat with Mira Tarabeine is a yoga retreat held at Bab Zouina on the Route de l'Ourika in Morocco, spanning the end of one year and the start of the next. It suits anyone who would rather cross into January in a quiet setting devoted to practice than in the usual rush of celebrations. Mira Tarabeine leads the retreat, and it runs for about a week.

What to Expect

This is a guided yoga retreat, taught by Mira Tarabeine, with teaching and workshops built into the days. Bab Zouina describes yoga as the heart of the place. Its retreats are each designed around the teacher who leads them, and the venue hosts groups throughout the year, from Iyengar and Ashtanga to Kundalini, Jivamukti, Yin and Flow.

Because each retreat takes the character of its teacher, this one is Mira's to shape. Her retreat sits alongside a separate Mystic Moon Retreat hosted at the venue over the same New Year period, so guests choose the teacher and approach that suit them.

The Setting

Bab Zouina is a retreat venue on the Route de l'Ourika in Morocco, set up to host yoga groups and teacher-led gatherings. Guests stay on site, and accommodation is part of the stay. The venue presents itself as a breathtaking place to practise, and it has hosted retreats across the full calendar year.

Before You Go

The price of a retreat at Bab Zouina includes:

- airport transfer
- teaching and workshops
- accommodation
- meals

Some retreats at the venue add excursions or extra activities, and the retreat brochure is the place to see what each one offers. Depending on the retreat, guests book either directly with the teacher or through Bab Zouina, so it is worth checking which route applies to this one.

Bab Zouina is a yoga venue first, and its retreats are designed to give guests a full, well-held experience. If you are weighing it up, the useful questions are the style of class Mira Tarabeine teaches, the daily rhythm, and whether any excursions are planned. Those are best confirmed with the host before you travel.
