New Beginnings Morocco Retreat January 17-24, 2026
Begin the New Year and the New Moon with Franzi & Bryce for a week of Jivamukti Yoga, Yoga Therapeutics, Philosophy & Pranayama.
The retreat will take place at Bab Zouina, a beautiful traditional Moroccan villa situated in the Ourika Valley (30km from Marrakesh) in a magnificent property surrounded by olive trees.
Enjoy delicious traditional Moroccan vegetarian/vegan dishes prepared from fresh local food.
The rooms are spacious and authentic: You can expect a comfy bed, traditional carpets, cushions and crafts. Below you can see a few examples.
We will practice in a spacious yoga shala, fully equipped with mats and all necessary supports including blocks, belts & blankets. If the weather allows it, we will also use one of the rooftops to practice while facing the magnificent Atlas Mountains.
In between our sessions you can relax by the nature pool, stroll the countryside freely as the weather will be mostly sunny, around 20°C during the day and 10°C at night.
If you are a tennis player make sure to bring your racket and shoes, as there is also a tennis court on-site.
Upon request well-being activities include hammam, oil massage and shiatsu sessions can be booked for an additional cost.
Your perfect escape from cold winter days to replenish, restore, nourish yourself and learn more about your heart, body, mind & spirit!
