1 Week Yoga Retreat in Morocco
Move, Explore, Restore: A Yoga Adventure in Morocco
Our retreat centre is a stunning venue just outside Marrakech, built in traditional Moroccan style and located at the foot of the Atlas Mountains.
You’ll be close to nature with mountain views, and meals you'll be dreaming about long after you leave. This retreat blends the joy of travel with the grounding rhythm of daily yoga, movement and meditation.
This retreat has a relaxed, sociable vibe and a slightly larger group (capped at 18), ideal for those who love yoga but also want to explore, connect, and soak up the culture. Read on to learn more.
We take care of the planning so you can just show up, switch off, and relax
We’re Jas and Dora, 2 experienced retreat leaders and long-time collaborators who’ve been running retreats together for over five years. We both fell in love with Morocco as young adults, and when we discovered this beautiful retreat centre nestled in the foothills of the Atlas Mountains, we knew we wanted to return.
Morocco is the kind of place that stays with you. I can still see and smell the souks years later. I remember the air in Marrakech thick with spice and sweetness: cumin and cinnamon drifting from market stalls, incense smoke curling through doorways, the scent of fresh bread and herbs warming in the sun. I remember honey-drenched crepes wrapped like little parcels, a delicious treat after wandering the winding souks for hours. Orange blossom gardens, scented Jasmine spilling over walls and doorways, and fresh sweet mint tea enjoyed on rooftop terraces.

Daily Yoga to Deepen Your Practice
Each day will have a mix of flow and restorative classes. There'll also be workshops to help you deepen your Yoga practice and the opportunity to get personalised support from both of us. Retreats give us the time and space to slow down, ask questions, and explore how yoga can truly support you. With fewer distractions and more time together, you’ll deepen your self-understanding, discover new ways of moving, and build connections that stay with you long after the retreat ends.
Relax and Explore
Over the course of each day there will be free time to explore the beautiful retreat centre and surrounding areas. Take a solo walk to reflect, relax by the pool, or team up with other participants to explore together! We can also help arrange optional excursions, and we will go on one group excursion all together.
“100% excellent, loved every moment. An incredible mix of rest, exercise, sight seeing and eating, with the best group of people to experience it with! I've loved the journey you took us on over the week, with a perfect balance of flow and restorative practice. I've learned so much about my body and mind this week and will take those learnings into my daily life and home yoga practice.” - Dave (Guest from Puglia retreat, 2024)
Meet Your Yoga Teachers & Retreat Hosts
Dora Rubinstein
Dora has been immersed in yoga since childhood, the daughter of a yoga teacher, she grew up practicing and has since gone on to teach yoga and AcroYoga internationally. Now based in Yorkshire, her playful, dynamic classes blend active flexibility, strength-building drills, and anatomical insights drawn from her background in circus arts, including handstanding, contortion, and aerial.
Dora has co-led numerous retreats in the UK and abroad, collaborating with Jasmine on day retreats and overseas adventures, as well as running an annual women and non-binary AcroYoga weekend with leading teachers. Dora brings a sense of joy and challenge to every session, she is known for making people laugh and making movement fun!
Dora brings the more dynamic side to our retreat classes with Vinyasa Flow, AcroYoga, Handstand and Balance Workshops, and Strength-Building Exercises.
Jasmine Sara
Jasmine is a yoga teacher with over eight years of teaching experience and a background in yoga spanning two decades. Specialising in accessible, inclusive approaches, her teaching is grounded in a deep understanding of how movement and rest can support diverse bodies and lived experiences. Her own Yoga practice supports her with chronic illness, hypermobility, and neurodivergence.
Her training includes Yoga Therapeutics, Accessible Yoga, Trauma-Informed Yoga, and the Integral Movement Method. With over 15 retreats led in five countries over the last 7 years, Jasmine brings a wealth of experience to retreat spaces, designing them with care, connection, and nourishment in mind. A coeliac herself, she ensures dietary needs are thoughtfully accommodated, creating space for people to truly rest, learn, and be themselves.
Jas brings the softer side to our retreat classes and will be leading Slow Flows, Restorative Yoga, Yin Yoga, Yoga Nidra (Guided Relaxations), meditation, and other restful practices.
“Amazing retreat. Fantastic varied program in a fabulous location with the most amazing food. The retreat was fulfilling and nurturing. Yoga classes had a great balance between the yin and the yang.” Jenni

Food: Nutritious, Delicious, and Made with Love
All our meals are prepared with love and care, using local produce as well as our own vegetable garden. We offer amazing Moroccan, Berber and Middle Eastern cuisine that can cater to any food constraint including vegan, gluten, or lactose free. Each meal is prepared to be a therapy of healthy and tasty foods, emitting the pleasant scents of oriental spices.
Our bread is baked on a daily basis in a traditional Moroccan earth oven. Our kitchen staff also squeezes delicious fruit juices, so you get your shot of vitamins. On top of this, tea, coffee, fresh and dried fruits are available throughout the day. A balanced and nutritious diet is at the heart of our culinary approach.
“The food was excellent, the standard of accommodation was high, the yoga space was very good. Having local towns of interest to visit added another dimension to the retreat. I thoroughly enjoyed it. The tuition was excellent, I learnt a lot. Their warm and fun company through the retreat was a pleasure and they work well as a team. The efforts Jas and Dora made to make the retreat just what everyone wanted could not be faulted. I'd recommend a retreat with Jas and Dora to anyone.” - James
