Join Jenny, Founder of The Wild Times yoga retreats for 4 nights and 5 days of blue skies, souk exploring, a sunset desert dinner, a hike in the Atlas mountains, and more. You are staying in a beautiful place, tucked away from the hubbub of Marrakech on the outskirts of a quiet Berber village. Meandering corridors and courtyard paths lead to authentic, comfortable rooms. You will be practicing yoga on the rooftop or in the large, light studio, you have two pools to float around in, secret terraces, beautiful gardens, and lots of quiet corners for relaxing and reading. There is also an on-site spa, offering massages, hammams and other treatments.

Above represents the daily schedule for 5 Day Morocco Yoga Retreat: Souk Desert And Mountain Adventure Near Marrakech Zen With Jen it is subject to change with notice from the yoga school.
The Wild Times Retreat. Stay in yurts, treehouses, and shepherd's huts in a quiet woodland near Bath, Somerset. Enjoy the wood-fired sauna hut, relax, or explore as hard as you like. This is through my adventure retreat company The Wild Times or see @thewildtimesco for more details. Just 4 spaces left now!
Settle in and start the retreat with mint tea and a delicious dinner on Saturday. Your first few days are all about grounding and resting with an adventure into the Atlas Mountains. There is an optional trip to the souks for shopping, mint teas on rooftops, and exploring the square. Tuesday evening will take you to the rocky desert of Agafay, for a sunset dinner under canvas.
There will usually be two yoga classes a day, including dynamic Vinyasa in the morning, calming Yin before dinner, and a couple of restorative yoga Nidra (sleepy yoga!) before bed. The yoga sessions are themed around the natural elements, bringing the qualities and strengths of nature into your practice and life.
All activities are optional but encouraged, so you can nap, read or swim, and explore - it’s completely up to you. There are free shuttles from our venue to Marrakech three times a day if you'd like to explore more. Otherwise, have a massage, lounge around the pool, or have a small siesta.
The Wild Times retreats are for anyone who wants to re-wild and relax. The retreat welcomes everyone of any ability - just come with an open heart and mind. To get the most out of the yoga retreat, The Wild Times recommends taking part in at least 3 or 4 yoga classes before joining.
Breakfast will be served after the morning yoga class. It includes delicious homemade juices, honey, yogurts, pancakes, cheeses, locally made breads, fresh fruit salad, and cereals. Omelets and eggs are available as an added extra for around 2-3 GBP.
Then, you'll have a healthy and generous salad buffet lunch with around 10 delicious salads to choose from, with bread and fruit available too.
