This is a holistic, restorative 4-Day, 3-Night mountain retreat.

Day 1: Arrival & Grounding Practice
Arrive in Marrakech and take a private transfer to your tranquil mountain retreat lodge (typically near Imlil or Ourika Valley).
After settling into your peaceful room, the afternoon begins with a Welcome Circle and Gentle Yoga Session to stretch out travel tension and tune into the mountain environment.
Dinner is a healthy, nourishing meal featuring fresh local produce, followed by a guided Evening Meditation to ensure restful sleep.
Day 2: Movement, Nature & Mindfulness
We begin the day with an early Sunrise Yoga session focused on breathwork and energy flow.
After a traditional, wholesome breakfast, the late morning includes a gentle, guided Nature Walk through the local Berber village and surrounding walnut groves. This slow-paced walk is an exercise in mindfulness and connecting with nature.
The late afternoon features a Restorative Yoga practice, and the evening concludes with dinner and conversation about Berber wellness traditions.
Day 3: Deep Stretching and Cultural Immersion
The day starts with a stimulating Hatha or Vinyasa Yoga practice.
Following a hearty brunch, we venture out for a light cultural immersion, perhaps visiting a local saffron farm or a women’s Argan oil cooperative.
The goal is to engage the mind gently while experiencing local life.
The late afternoon is reserved for a Workshop on Local Wellness Products (e.g., using rosewater, saffron, and mountain herbs) or a final long Yin Yoga session to deepen flexibility and relaxation.
A celebratory farewell dinner is served.
Day 4: Final Practice and Departure
We begin the final day with a reflective Morning Meditation and a gentle stretching session to prepare for travel.
After the final breakfast, there is time for final notes or journaling before the private transfer takes you back to Marrakech for your onward journey.

High Atlas Journey: Common Questions
Do I need prior yoga or meditation experience?
No. All sessions are designed to be accessible and beneficial for all levels, from complete beginners to experienced practitioners. Instructors offer modifications and support for everyone.
Is the schedule flexible, or is everything mandatory?
The schedule is provided as a guideline to maximize your retreat experience, but all activities are entirely optional.
This is your time to rejuvenate, so if you prefer to read by the fireplace or nap instead of joining a session, you are welcome to do so.
What kind of food is served, and can you handle dietary needs?
The food is healthy, local, and based on Berber cuisine, featuring fresh vegetables, pulses, and whole grains. Meals are naturally vegetarian-friendly.
We can easily accommodate most dietary restrictions (vegan, gluten-free, allergies); please inform us when booking.
Is the water safe to drink in the mountains?
The retreat lodge uses purified or bottled water for drinking.
We strongly recommend using bottled water or drinking from the purified source provided by the lodge, even though the mountain springs are famous for their clarity.
What should I bring besides my yoga mat?
We recommend comfortable walking shoes for the nature walks, warm layers for the cool mountain evenings, a journal and pen, and an open mind.
Mats and basic props are provided by the retreat center.
