Accommodation

Marrakech:
In Marrakech you will be accommodated in the middle of the Medina, Marrakech's famous old town, in one of our beautiful partner Riads. Cool and of inspiring beauty, the riad offers us exactly the environment we need for our yoga journey: Peace and security, green, sunny as well as shady spots on the roof, inviting us to enjoy a Moroccan tea and the silence amidst the hustle and bustle. The riad also serves as a place for our daily yoga practice.

Merzouga:
In Merzouga, you and the group are accommodated in a traditional kasbah, which allows you to overlook the desert in its full expanse. The kasbah is family-run and has exceptionally beautiful but simple and basic rooms with a terrace and a view of the dunes. It serves as our accommodation before our stay in the desert and after our return from the sea of sand.

Desert camp:
In the desert camp you are accommodated in traditional Berber tents. The camp is located in the middle of the sand dunes in absolute silence. It has a kitchen, a restaurant, a shower and a toilet.

Catering

- extensive, lovingly prepared, healthy and traditional Moroccan dishes
(vegetarian and vegan dishes are of course also available on request)
