Retreat Programme
There will be 2 classes each day.
The first class will be at 5.30pm on Monday evening followed by a delicious evening meal.
Each morning Nikita will begin by taking you through a hatha yoga session at around 9.00am before breakfast. We will enjoy lunch around 1.00pm before our second yoga session of the day. Each day will finish with dinner at around 7pm.
In-between classes, you have free time to relax and enjoy the facilities, or perhaps explore the local surroundings and what it has to offer.
Fawakay Villas, Marrkesh
Relaxation is the speciality of this calming oasis a 15-minute drive from, but seemingly a world away, bustling Marrakech. Made up of five sand-hued villas and three eco-villa suites sprinkled around 3.5 acres of rose-filled gardens, this boutique complex promises pure relaxation and rejuvenation. Pebble pathways lead to the superbly appointed individual villas and suites, all of them designed to allow guests to be as private or social as they wish.
Classes and practices are held outdoors in the scented grounds, and guests can also avail themselves of the outdoor pool, rooftop terrace, spa, and hammam. A breakfast, lunch, and snack menu is available with authentic North African dishes prepared using fresh local ingredients by the resident chef.
When it comes to exploring, the owners run shuttle buses to Marrakech’s souks, while the nearby Atlas Mountains draw guests with their peaceful hiking trails, waterfalls, and Berber villages.
