Marrakesh - February 2024

In February, some lucky yogis attended our Marrakesh retreat led by regular Yoga Quarter teachers Sara and Eimear.

Fawakay Villas offered a relaxing oasis of peaceful tranquility just outside of the hustle and bustle of the Marrakesh medina.
Equipped of two swimming pools, a hammer and expansive gardens and rooftops overlooking the Atlas Mountains, the villas really exceeded expectations.

A replenishing experience

Two daily yoga practices were led by our experienced team of teachers and the rest of the day was spent walking around the beautiful surroundings of the villas, resting by the pool and eating refreshing home-made Moroccan dishes.

5% of the retreat sales went to Amal, a non-profit organization in Marrakesh that supports courageous women on their journey towards empowerment and financial independence.

They provide training, employment, and support for women who have experienced hardships such as domestic violence and abandonment. In the wake of the September 2024 earthquake, Amal had partnered with World Central Kitchen to deliver sustenance, warmth, and hope to remote villages inaccessible by road.

Málaga - May 2024

A beautiful retreat

A traditional farmhouse, Finca Avedin had been lovingly restored to create a beautiful country home. The villa was spacious yet cosy, luxurious yet comfortable, and had an amazing energy. It truly was a magical place.

From the Finca, it was a short walk to the charming mountain town of Gaucín where we could find galleries, shops, and cafes. Gaucín also boasts sensational views towards the Mediterranean Sea, the Rock of Gibraltar, and the Rif mountains of North Africa.

Daily morning and late afternoon yoga practices led by the experienced Yoga Quarter team were offered onsite.

Also included in the retreat package was a massage treatment with a qualified massage therapist.

Everyone enjoyed the gorgeous fresh food cooked by award-winning chef Raúl Crespo who sure knows how to feed hungry yogis!
