Moroccan Wellness Escape: Yoga, Surf & Sound Healing in the Atlas Mountains & Marrakech

The retreat is structured as a two-part journey. The first four nights are at a lakeside eco-lodge in the Atlas Mountains, a setting chosen for its quiet and its proximity to nature—Berber villages dot the hillsides, and the stillness is the point. Mornings start with a Vinyasa flow, and the days include sound healing ceremonies, meditation, and pranayama. Evenings are given over to restorative yoga or Yin sessions. Meals are traditional Moroccan, served three times a day.

The final two nights shift the energy completely. You'll stay in a riad located inside Marrakech's historic medina, a traditional Moroccan house built around a central courtyard. Here the schedule includes a cooking class, a guided medina tour, local crafts, and Gnaoua musical nights—a specifically Moroccan form of trance music with roots in Sub-Saharan Africa. Morning yoga and sound meditations continue through this leg, but the daylight hours are more about exploring the city and its culture.

A distinguishing feature is the integration of surf lessons, which are included and led by the retreat's instructors. This makes it a more active week than a purely contemplative yoga retreat, offering a chance to engage with Morocco's Atlantic coast. The retreat also includes a Hamam experience in Marrakech, a traditional steam bath, as a bonus for booking.

Souha, the host, brings a particular background to the week. Born in Marrakech and now based in Bali, she worked in international relations before turning to yoga, sound, and voice work. She's the founder of MAYR, a yoga retreat center, and is described as a skilled yoga teacher, sound practitioner, and vocalist. A second teacher, Kiana, joins the team; born in Iran and raised in Canada, she teaches yoga and Pilates with a focus on core strength, alignment, and breath.
