ESSAOUIRA AIR
21-26 March 2026
Escape to Morocco for 5 nights of peace, connection & restorationThe retreat
Escape to Essaouira with me this spring for five nights of warmth, nourishment & tranquility.
Tucked away in a peaceful location in the heart of Essaouira’s hills, this retreat is designed to give you breathing space, away from the busy pace of daily life.
Start your day with a quiet moment sipping your morning tea or coffee as the sun rises, then join me for an energising dynamic yoga practice in the outdoor shala.
Spend your free time relaxing by the infinity pool, curl up in a cosy corner with a book, or head into Essaouira to wander the blue and white alleys of the medina and browse the artisan creations.
After a restorative, grounding yin practice, we will come together each evening for a three-course Moroccan feast, family-style, bursting with spices and local flavours.
With everything taken care of, this is your invitation to slow down, relax and reset.
Come with a friend, come with a lover, or come by yourself and leave with a family.
