Retreats

8–15 October 2011
Ashtanga Yoga, Taghazout, Morocco

 

 

The ultimate 'retreat’ experience. Nestled between stunning sandy bays and hidden beneath a blanket of bourgainvillia, the magical Villa Mandala offers the best accommodation on this stretch of Moroccan coastline (it even has its own onsite hammam).

Daily ashtanga yoga classes with Gingi Lee will be held in the stunning roof top yoga shala, which overlooks the ocean and backs on to banana groves and the foothills of the Atlas mountains. Breathtaking views and the soothing sounds of the ocean make for an inspiring, serene and unforgettable yoga practice. Four early evening classes held on the beach at sunset will include tai chi, qigong, meditation and pranayama. On one afternoon we will have have the chance to take surfing lessons.

Talented chefs, aim to make each day of the retreat a ‘taste sensation’ with delicious, nutritious vegetarian food, using only the finest and freshest local produce. Post-yoga breakfast is a pool-side banquet, lunch is a picnic on the beach, and dinner is a star-lit mouthwatering feast.
