Home › Retreats › Gentle Somatic Yoga & Wellness Escape by the Ocean in Taghazout, Morocco
Morocco · 7 days · From USD 1150
The retreat is hosted by Petra, a yoga teacher who began her practice years ago, first introduced by her father. She completed a 250-hour teacher training in Malta and has a background as a designer, which influences her mindful approach to creating classes. Her teaching style blends discipline with relaxation, and she's known for her strong yet gentle touch in correcting postures. Guests consistently describe her as one of the best teachers they've practiced with.
The practices are based on somatic movement, which focuses on internal physical perception and experience. You'll learn to sense tension early, regulate your breath under stress, and move in ways that honor your body's limits. This isn't about achieving a perfect pose; it's about developing an awareness that stays with you. The small group size means Petra can adapt each session to the needs of the group, ensuring that everyone feels supported and challenged at their own level.
The residence itself is a peaceful, luxurious space with a yoga deck that overlooks the pool and gardens. It's located just a 10-minute walk from the beach and Taghazout Village, making it easy to explore the local surf town between sessions. The architecture is modern, with plenty of natural light and space for rest and contemplation. Whether you're on the terrace watching the sunset or lying on the beach listening to the waves, the surroundings are a key part of the experience.
What makes this retreat different is its focus on sustainable change. Rather than offering a temporary high, it equips you with simple, accessible practices that can be integrated into daily life. The retreat is not about fixing yourself or striving for a goal; it's about returning to a state of ease. It's an invitation to soften, breathe, and remember the intelligence of your own body, and to carry that awareness forward.
