Yoga retreat with Mita Shah (FULL)

This is a yoga retreat with Mita Shah at Bab Zouina, a retreat venue on the Route de l'Ourika in Morocco. It is a residential week of yoga practice for people who want to spend several days away from daily routines, taught by Mita Shah in a place where yoga is the central activity. The retreat is currently full.

The Setting

Bab Zouina describes yoga as its heart. Retreats run throughout the year, and each one is designed around the teacher leading it. The venue works with a wide range of teachers and traditions, among them Ashtanga, Flow, Hatha, Iyengar, Jivamukti, Kundalini, Sivananda and Yin. It also hosts teacher training courses with qualified teachers, generally following the Yoga Alliance framework. A retreat here sits within a long-running yoga programme rather than being a one-off event.

The venue is on the Route de l'Ourika, in the countryside outside Marrakech along the road toward the Ourika valley. Guests stay on site, and accommodation and meals are part of the stay, so the days can be given over to practice and rest rather than logistics. An airport transfer is included, which means you do not need to plan the journey to the venue yourself.

Before You Go

The price of a Bab Zouina yoga retreat covers four things:

- airport transfer
- teaching and workshops
- accommodation
- meals

Some retreats at the venue add excursions or other activities. Each retreat has its own brochure with the specifics, so if you have questions about daily timings, the style of class or the level of experience expected, the brochure for this retreat is the place to look. Depending on the retreat, guests book either directly with the teacher or through Bab Zouina.

Because Bab Zouina hosts teachers from many traditions, the character of a week varies from one retreat to the next. What stays constant is the setup: a dedicated yoga venue, a teacher-led programme, and food and lodging taken care of in one place.

If you are looking for a yoga retreat in Morocco with Mita Shah and this one is full, Bab Zouina runs retreats with other teachers across the year, in styles from Iyengar and Jivamukti to Kundalini, Ashtanga and Yin. Bab Zouina also welcomes teachers who want to host their own retreat there.
