MAGICAL MOROCCO 'between heaven & earth'
a vinyasa yoga, surf & horseback riding retreat with véronique fleming
november 2-9, 2010
I appear on balconies and out of domes and my veil encumbers nobody for my home is space, and the ceiling of my dwelling is God’s heaven or portions of clouds. So, you may, when you please, enter with greetings into my doorless house, for I found no swing door to hold between heaven and earth. -abou chamakma
There is something incredibly special about the Moroccan land & people. Come breathe in the vibrant shakti of this magical place, in an amazing space. Morocco is a deeply fascinating place to renew & radiantly relax. Start each day greeting the sun with salutations to embrace your body, mind & joy. Our journey takes us to Taghazout, a very charming seaside village & surf haven, with immediate access to the great infinite blue ocean herself!

Our yoga retreat includes:
7 nights complete accommodations in one of the most beautiful & luxurious locations in the area
daily brunch & dinner -delicious & healthy moroccan cuisine
2 daily inspirational yoga classes in the yoga pavillion with stunning ocean views and soundtrack of the atlantic ocean
daily outdoor morning meditations
bbq closing celebration
lots of chillout time at the glorious infinity pool, swaying hammocks or endless heavenly beaches

A yoga haven: Vinyasa yoga flow, chill-out yoga will be in English, led by Véronique Fleming, director of the yogaloft, known as ‘the barefoot temple’, an urban yoga oasis located in the heart of Cologne, Germany.

On the sly: There is an abundance of extra activities to dive into in between yoga sessions. There will be time for adventures to visit ancient medinas, local souks, and this time around, even horse back riding in the back country! Hangtime in hammocks, colorful spice markets, waterfalls, daytrip to the charming seaport town of Essaouira, shopping in Agadir, ocean swimming, experiencing traditional massage & hammams with luxurious healing Argan oil are all possible. Surfing, surf board rentals & lessons are available from the surf school daily. The possibilities of indulging in and around the environs of this magical land of the Orient are absolutely endless.....Come! Come! The wild adventure awaits you!

It is also an excellent beach for swimming.
Every apartment has two private balconies or patios which overlook the gardens and pool deck onto the waves. The apartments are over 80m², and come equipped with a large, comfortable living room that includes TV, DVD player and satellite system. The open kitchen comes with a fridge, and all cooking facilities. Sheets & towels are supplied.

healthy food: Meals are provided and served on the seaview terrace with view of the endless breaking waves. A great place to relax after a day of yoga & surf and watch the sunset. A local chef will prepare both western and Moroccan cuisine. Additionally, each apartment has a fully equipped kitchen for self catering should you wish to prepare any meals yourself.

what to bring: Yoga mats and props (belt, block, blanket, small meditation pillow) if you need them. Driving licence (for car rentals), and most importantly, an open mind with a dash of good ol' fashioned patience & a sense of humor- we'll be on 'African time' after all!

Rates do not include airfare/transfers. We advise you to book your place early in order to get the best possible airfares. Direct charter flights to Agadir airport are available from most major European cities. If flying from Cologne choose Düsseldorf airport.

Tui Fly is offering flights from Düsseldorf to Agadir tuesdays (non-stop 4 hour flight) for approx. 280 € roundtrip. It is highly recommended to book your flights as soon as possible for best rates. The retreat place is only 45 minutes away from Agadir airport, and we can provide you with contacts to arrange easy taxi transfers to the villa for approx 20€ per person.

If you wish to extend your stay in Morocco, another possibility is to book your flight back from Casablanca and enjoy the desert, the Atlas mountains, or the undescribable cities of Marrakesh or Fés for another 2-4 days after the yoga retreat. Royal Air Maroc is also an excellent airline which flies to Casa & Agadir & inland Morocco.

I appear on balconies and out of domes
and my veil encumbers nobody
for my home is space,
and the ceiling of my dwelling is
God’s heaven or portions of clouds.
So, you may, when you please,
enter with greetings into my doorless house,
for I found no swing door to hold
between heaven and earth.
