We are delighted to be returning to the spectacular Hotel Tigmi, 30 minutes from the evocative city of Marrakech. After the success of having two full retreats in November 2011 we simply had to return to this idylic Moroccan hideaway...

The retreat will run for four nights and five days.

The venue: Tucked away in countryside just half an hour from Marrakech, Hotel Tigmi is somewhere between a traditional Riad and a boutique hotel. It is the opposite of bland, conventional hotel that could be located anywhere in the world.Meandering corridors and tucked-away courtyards hide a stunning collection of rooms, terraces, gardens and two swimming pools. This landscape of banana palms, cirtus trees and bougainvillea radiates sunlight and warmth. There is space and quiet in abundance.Each of the rooms is individually decorated with handcrafted Berber furnishings, cushions, covers and wall hangings - a true Moroccan escape. Open fireplaces, luxurious shampoo and body products complete the feeling that you are somewhere very special indeed.

Yoga and meditation: Two daily yoga classes will be taken in the coverered upstairs terrace, with its open countryside views. The morning class will be led by established vinyasa flow teacher, Jodie Merrick, and will be faster and more dynamic in flavour.The early evening session, taught by Lucia Cockcroft, will take place before dinner, and will be a combination of mindfulness meditation and gentle, relaxing, restorative poses.Both classes will be suitable for people of all yoga experience and backgrounds.

Free time!

There will be plenty of free time between daily yoga classes. The hotel operates a free minibus service to and from Marrakech. You may well decide to stay at Tigmi for the duration of your stay.

On the other hand, you may decide to explore the souks and shops of this enticing, colourful, frenetic city.

The last minibus of the day leaves the city in the early evening, and delivers you back to Hotel Tigmi safetly in time for dinner!

22nd-26th June 2012
You may, of course, decide to stay on for a few days at your own expense.
