Yoga Iyengar retreat with Eyal Shifroni

This Iyengar yoga retreat with Eyal Shifroni takes place at Bab Zouina, on the Route de l'Ourika in Morocco. It is a residential yoga retreat for people who want to spend a week practising in the Iyengar tradition, led by a visiting teacher in a setting built around yoga.

About the Retreat

Eyal Shifroni leads this Iyengar yoga retreat as one of many hosted at Bab Zouina. Iyengar is one of several styles taught there, alongside Ashtanga, Flow, Hatha, Jivamukti, Kundalini, Sivananda and Yin. It is also one of the most frequent, with a number of Iyengar retreats led by different teachers through the year. Each retreat is designed by its own teacher, so the shape of the days reflects the person leading it.

The retreat is a stay of several days in a single place, with teaching and workshops as its centre. Guests practise, eat and rest in the same setting for the length of the stay.

The Place

Bab Zouina describes yoga as its heart. Retreats run throughout the entire year, and the venue works with a range of qualified teachers, offering both yoga retreats and teacher training courses that generally follow the Yoga Alliance framework. The address is Route de l'Ourika, Morocco, and the venue presents itself as a breathtaking place to host a retreat.

Airport transfer is part of what the retreat provides, so arrival is arranged for you rather than something to organise on your own.

What Is Included

The retreat price covers:

- airport transfer
- teaching and workshops
- accommodation
- meals

Some retreats at Bab Zouina add excursions or other activities. A brochure for each retreat gives the specifics, so it is worth reading the one for this retreat before you travel. Depending on the retreat, you may book directly with the teacher or through Bab Zouina.

Before You Go

Because airport transfer, lodging, meals and teaching are bundled together, there is little to arrange beyond getting yourself to the airport and packing for a week of practice. If you have questions about the level of the classes or the daily schedule, the retreat brochure and the teacher are the best sources, since each Bab Zouina retreat is shaped by its own host.

Iyengar yoga retreat seekers who like a single, uncluttered setting for a week of practice will find that here: one venue on the Route de l'Ourika, one teacher in Eyal Shifroni, and a stay where the main business is yoga.
