← All Morocco retreatsAbout this selection
Marrakech's ancient medina, opulent riads, and Atlas Mountains visible from the rooftops create one of the world's most atmospheric retreat cities — hammam, tagine, and morning asana. Marrakech has a strong Ashtanga lineage. The Mysore-style morning practice, the self-paced approach, and the direct teacher-student relationship of this tradition suit the retreat culture here particularly well. Seven days is the most popular retreat length in Marrakech for good reason — it's enough time to develop a real practice routine, experience the local culture and environment, and return home with something that lasts. The first two days are arrival and settling; the final two are integration. October is one of Marrakech's best months for retreat — Marrakech-Safi's climate is at its most conducive to outdoor practice, the crowds are manageable, and teachers report that groups arriving in October tend to go deeper than at other times of year. It's a popular booking month, so plan ahead.
