We continue with what has now become a tradition of yoga retreats in Bab-Zouina (near the city of Marrakesh, Morocco)! After the success of the previous retreats (See some impressions from the 2022 retreat), I am happy to post information about the 2024 retreat. 

Bab-Zouina is a little heaven in which the birds are continuously singing among the trees and the blooming flowers. It has a swimming pool, Hamam (traditional Turkish bath), and a tennis court.

The yoga hall in Bab-Zouina has a capacity of 28 students and it is equipped with all the necessary props (chairs, wall-ropes, and so on). Karim, the owner, is a wonderful host and also an Iyengar Yoga practitioner.

The program includes asana practice, Pranayama, morning and afternoon meditation, and chanting (of Bija mantras). There will also be optional excursions in the surroundings of Bab-Zouina and an optional 4-day trek in the Atlas Mountains, after the retreat.

Inbar Grinberg – a certified Iyengar Yoga teacher will assist Eyal and teach two of the afternoon sessions (see schedule below).
