Days follow a simple pattern. Yoga comes first, usually on the roof of the riad where the group is staying, before breakfast and before the medina gets busy. After that, the day belongs to Morocco: a guided walk through the souks, a drive out toward the Sahara, a trail through the desert, or an afternoon with local artisans and hosts. Evenings are slow, built around dinner and conversation.

This trip is a moving tour rather than a stay at one resort. You travel between cities and the desert, so the yoga sits alongside real travel. Most yoga holidays keep you in one place with a pool. Here you get rooftop classes over old medinas, a night or more on the edge of the Sahara, and on the 10-day version a stop in the coastal town of Essaouira.

The group is women only, and the trip is pitched at all levels. The movement side is about starting each day on the mat and staying active through walking and exploring. It isn't a hard-training camp. Expect plenty of time on your feet in the medinas and on desert trails, but nothing that needs special fitness.
