Summary

A true oasis of peace in a traditional fishing village with sea views. This small, fine paradise has only 5 double rooms, 2 canvas tent rooms, a large palm garden to linger in, a restaurant, a yoga temple and several terraces. Delicious food is freshly prepared by the private chefs. You can expect a unique, adventurous yoga vacation away from tourism in the middle of the national park. Impressive hikes lead along beautiful sandy beaches and secluded bays, past bizarre fishing villages. One hike takes you right through the mighty sand dunes of the "Little Sahara", a beautiful desert dune area. The national park is home to 270 different bird species, antelopes, gazelles, ostriches and much more, and a sightseeing tour of the national park provides information about the flora and fauna of Morocco. During a day trip to Agadir, you will visit the souk (bazaar) and have lunch together in the modern marina right on the beach. A special feature of this region are the enchanting cave dwellings that are visited. Drumming with the locals, mantra singing and a vision walk which shows new possibilities are on the varied program.
In addition to the daily highly professional yoga practice, intensive breathing practices, transformative meditations and pranayama, Qigong, Qiwalk® and Pilates are taught. Deep nature meditations in breathtaking natural surroundings and on the beach are among the highlights of the trip.

Dear Marion, thank you very much for the wonderful, extraordinary time here in your beautiful oasis of the Tiger Lounge & the insight into Moroccan life. I really enjoyed your cheeky, warm and caring manner and felt very comfortable. The mix of yoga with hiking is the perfect combination to get moving holistically. Your hidden messages have deeply inspired me. Your humorous and refreshing manner was really good. I wish you & Hannes all the best on your future adventures. Let's fetz!
Best regards Annett from Berlin January 24

Sun, beach and sea, what more do I need? - I always enjoy yoga with Marion - she elicits the deep inner stars. I felt the country and its people deeply, my heart was moved through and through - and also touched. Palm tree to palm tree, tree to tree, the oasis is a dream. The sweetness of Morocco is in me now, and I thank you for that, dear Marion! I would like to say goodbye with my inner shining star.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart! Simone from Stuttgart January 24

Dear Marion,
It was a varied and eventful week here with you and the group. I enjoyed the desert hikes in silence and the very intensive yoga sessions the most! I like Morocco, on va voir quelles choses vont passer en future. Thank you very much for a great start to the New Year and your always kind, caring and competent guidance. Merci and Shukran. Liva January 24

Wonderful trip, many impressions, wonderful excursions & the movement with yoga made the vacation very special. Dear Marion, with your warm, funny manner I felt comfortable and well looked after from the very first hour.
Many thanks for everything Josefine from Salzburg January 24

Dear Marion
Thank you for the amazing time in Morocco. It was very special and connecting.
I wish you all the best with Love Ekaterina December 23

Thank you Marion for allowing me to get to know you, to experience you - here, where you feel at home and free, under this sky, this vastness, these colors, this roaring surf. I take a lot with me, I enjoyed your charisma so much, your self-understanding and your grounding as well as your connection to the universe. And thank you for your feeling for me, your words and your closeness to my heart. That did me a lot of good!
See you soon Kerstin from Bielefeld December 23

Dear Marion
After a time full of pain, I had no expectations of this journey. I was full of mixed feelings and was also a little afraid of what this trip would do to me.
But then I received so much love, so much more than I had expected. It felt like I was wrapped in a warm blanket. Your hospitality, your laughter, your charisma all gave me so much joy, courage and hope on my healing journey. The whole arrangement of the trip, the accommodation, the food, the team - it was pure magic. I had the feeling that my emotions, my "I" and being, my needs were so well taken care of. I felt freer and happier than I had for a long time. I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart. Also for all the open conversations. I will never forget all that. All my love from the bottom of my heart Janine from Zwickau
Ps: I would love to come back December 23

Dear Marion,

It's not easy for me to pack the last week into a short, crisp piece of feedback, but I'll try nonetheless:

"If you are looking for and love something special, you are in good hands with Marion in Morocco: Powerful, dynamic yoga with a relaxing balance, impressive desert hikes, wonderful traditional food, sunsets and sunrises par excellence, dancing, drumming and singing with locals around the campfire and much more. In short: yoga and hiking with a lot of humor and heart in an environment of abundance and silence - thank you very much, dear Marion!"

Apart from that, I would like to tell you that immersing myself in your second home was one of the most multifaceted and inspiring trips I have ever been on, to which you made a significant contribution. I am sure that I will be able to draw on it for a long time to come.

See you soon in Linz! Give me a big hug! :)

Petra

P.S. Be sure to let me know as soon as you know more about yoga and hiking on the Großglockner!

Dear Marion
It was simply beautiful!!! You really have created a little paradise here! I felt at home from the very first second! Thank you so much! You radiate so much joie de vivre, so much cheerfulness - simply infectious! I won't become a professional yogi, but you've motivated me to get started. I certainly hope to see you again! Jasmin from Vienna November 23

A heartfelt thank you, dear Marion, for the sunny and happy moments, for the powerful and gentle energies you gave us. How lucky to have been here. All the best to you for this place and for the people who work here.

A terrific, spiritual, energetic, insightful week has flown by. Our group was a unit almost from day one - we didn't seek each other out, but we found each other. The place is an oasis, a true place of power where you can immerse yourself in a seemingly different world. We have Marion and Hannes to thank for that. They have created this domicile - what would it be without these two special characters. Marion's refreshing, open-minded, humorous, sensitive and smart manner and her charisma are infectious. You literally want to "eat out of her hand". The yoga, the meditations, the walks with the many "spontaneous" interludes as well as Qigong, Pilates, mantras are a joy and enrichment! I would love to come back! Or better still stay here for a while... Thank you, your team! Namaste Claudia November 23

Thank you and the whole group for making my birthday a very special day. Svenja November. 23

All good things are wild & free! Thank you for the enriching trip. It was wonderful and something very special. All the best Anna October 23

I have already seen and experienced many places in the world....nowhere else was I so relaxed, enthusiastic, liberated from everything, recognized, protected, at home in 1 week....
Thank you for this wonderful time Marion
See you again, take care. Claudia Midtelstadt October 23

Free as the wind
Wild as the ocean
Hot as the sun

Thank you for your hospitality in the Tiger Lounge! And Marion for your open heart!

Claudia B. from Germany

I actually liked everything. A grandiose, spiritual, energetic, exhilarating, insightful week flew by. Our group, consisting of the most diverse characters aged between 27 and 65, formed a unit from the very beginning. We didn't look for each other, but we found each other. We haven't laughed so much (and almost everyone said so) for ages. The place is an oasis, a true place of power, where you "dive" into a seemingly different world after crossing the threshold. Marion's refreshing, open-minded, humorous, sensitive and cheeky manner and her charisma are infectious. The yoga, the meditations, the walks with the many surprises and "spontaneous" interludes as well as Qigong, Pilates and mantras - led by Marion - are a joy and enrichment! I would love to come again! Namasté!
Anything I could list here would be pulling at my hair.

"great journey"
Ines R. from Germany
The trip was very special for me. Marion brought us closer to the country and its people with her knowledge from her many years of living in Morocco and gave us a lot of background knowledge. The days were very entertaining and the program was very well organized. I particularly enjoyed the yoga and meditation sessions at sunrise and sunset in the desert, which I will remember for a long time to come. With her warm manner, she managed to get everyone involved and ensure a high fun factor. The evenings around the campfire in the desert with Berber dancing and drumming are also unforgettable :-).

A week in "the desert" - can that generate energy, relaxation and good vibes?

Yes, indeed - it can ... with Marion Bachinger/ Yogitrip in Douira.

I arrived, stressed, tense and briefly considered whether this trip was really the "right thing to do".

But after the warm welcome, loving environment and guidance through yoga, Qigong, hikes, encounters (both human, cultural and culinary), this week turned into a "shut down with a complete reset". Energy and joy were rekindled!

Tiger Lounge exudes a modest and dignified beauty. The rooms offer simplistic but extremely stylish comfort. The garden invites you to linger and enjoy a café epice. I also really appreciated the emphasis placed on local cuisine - with plenty of vegetarian options too.

Thank you Marion and co. You have created a little oasis with your energy in this barren area!

Johanna Gähler-Berg October 2022

Hello dear Marion, I want to thank you again for all your wonderful ideas, your being, your powerful humor, inspirations, energies and your yoga. Not forgetting the little bottle of lemon oil (I continue to use the lavender oil for my toe with gratitude). Quality and price pay off! All of this is now having an after-effect. With fond memories until next time, I wish you and Hannes a good time.

Ulrike Aug. 2020

Dear Marion, thank you very much for the wonderful intensive time. a few days with you are like a month somewhere else! You have a wonderful energy, pick up on every mood and always find the right words. I have taken you very much to my heart and am grateful with all my heart that I was here with you on the Alm. Best wishes to Goody and Hannes, you are a dream team :-)

Kathrin Peterson August 2020

Dear Marion, yes it was wonderful. The hikes, our hut tours, the powerful yoga sessions with and without cows, great conversations with depth but also with lots of tears of laughter give us power again for the next few months

You are doing such a great job

Thank you Thank you Thank you Evi Zaitschek August 2020

I took part in the yoga round trip and the yoga coastal trekking one after the other and I am very happy because it was a real enrichment. Super organization and timing. Jeeps that took the group from place to place and restaurants to hotels up to the highlight for me - the Chegaga desert. A diverse group of women who were kept in good spirits by Marion, the world's best yoga teacher, in a very friendly and naturally charming manner with a great sense of humor and energy. Hannes, her husband and her dog Miu were also instrumental in creating an always positive, uproariously funny and witty atmosphere.

Indescribably great yoga and meditation practice in the morning or evening in the hotel - unforgettable yoga in the evening in the desert just before sunset, crowned by the hike over the ridge of the highest sand dune to practise sun meditation there - breathtaking perspectives with a view over the Sahara dune landscape to the horizon.The descent then in the approaching night, as we could hardly tear ourselves away from the sight, culminated in the Bivouc tent camp, with a sea of candles and the food soon to be served by the Normans. the night was cold and starry, so some of us even had the beds put in front of the tents to sleep directly under the open sky ... at sunrise the next morning everyone was back on the mat to enjoy another yoga session in the sand dunes and to practice meditation and the always surprising yoga with pranayama ... after that there was still plenty of time for our own inspirational practice in the dunes.... Breakfast in the desert is also something really great... But then, unfortunately, it was already time to head back along the long sandy road to Mhamid. A very cool drive - with our ever faithful and very experienced driver Jamel, who made the jeep ride past only a few dromedaries and a nomadic family with donkeys a real experience...and on we went via Mhamid ... Zagora ... Marrakesh to Douira, where we reached our destination in the beautiful hotel complex, Tiger Lounge, on the edge of a very simple Moroccan village on the Atlantic coast... The atmospherically furnished rooms, the delicious freshly cooked food, the friendly service and the wonderful yoga room were particularly fulfilling for me. But let's not forget the hike down to the wild beach on this last evening with the aim of practicing yoga and meditation there... Marion really draws on such a huge repertoire of experience from different yoga styles and has a gift for bringing so much variety and energy into the classes. The mantra recitations and sound journeys at the end of the classes were also a highlight for me.
I could rave on forever, but I will come to the end and pass on these two journeys as my absolute recommendation. As a basis, I recommend openness and a sense for the new, the different, not necessarily just luxury and a desire for good yoga.

to say in the words of Nina hagen "Om namah shivaya" :-)

"Opening of the heart and relaxation in Morocco "

Lisa Steringer from Germany Coastal trekking 2019

Every day Marion took us on a journey to her Morocco and to ourselves. Those who were willing to open up received an incredible amount (in return). We all benefited from her many years of experience as a yoga teacher and her knowledge of Morocco. Marion and her entire team welcomed us openly and looked after us lovingly. We really grew together as a group, not least thanks to Marion's life-affirming manner, which made us laugh every day. But everyone also had the time and space to develop. Definitely more in the high-end area of yoga trips, but you didn't have to worry about anything and could just enjoy yourself. All in all, a wonderful experience with great women and an enrichment for my personal yoga and meditation practice.

"Incredibly great week"

Anna Stelzl from Austria Desert hiking oct. 2019

Although I traveled alone, I never had the feeling of being "alone". Marion, the yogi and tour guide, has an incredibly warm, welcoming nature that made me feel at ease as soon as I arrived. The trip took us to different places, with always new "1001 Nights" moments concerning the hotels, which were located in the middle of beautiful oases. This trip is the perfect mix of trekking and yoga with an incredible amount of new impressions and daily meditations and yoga practice to recharge your batteries and find yourself - especially the silence in the desert helped ;) I am so happy to have booked this trip and would do it again in a heartbeat!

The week was simply wonderful - a time full of lightness, inspiration and growth. Marion manages to respond to each individual person with an admirable calmness and to open up a space in which everyone can develop freely. With her deep understanding and warm-hearted manner, she enables people to discover new perspectives, develop spiritually and take away valuable tools for their own path. Her laughter is infectious, her energy palpable - she always makes the group shine. A week full of magic, insight and deep gratitude.

Lorena Kenel

One of my most beautiful yoga trips, if not the most beautiful, the warmest through and through. Especially recommended in February, as the weather in Morocco is perfect. The Tigerlounge had everything to offer, the sun, kilometers of deserted natural beaches, very well guided excursions. Marion and Hannes live there and convey everything about the country, the people, the animals and the immediate surroundings. The food is exceptionally good and cooked with love AND THE YOGA! Marion leads from a lifelong practice. Authentic yoga and meditation with lots of everyday tips for at home. Yes, and we laughed and enjoyed ourselves a lot.
