For a yoga retreat in Marrakech, few locations rival this one.

The retreat's captivating charm extends to its location within the famous Palmeraie, where a collection of individual homes sprawled across lush gardens offers abundant comfort. Despite its unique layout, this Marrakech Yoga Retreat
effortlessly delivers hotel-like services while maintaining a warm and welcoming ambiance, tailored for families, couples, and individuals alike. The Palmeraie Luxury Yoga Retreat seems purpose-built for yoga, allowing you to effortlessly transition into relaxation mode in your secluded haven.
Time tells a story, and traditions are built by all who visit. At this luxury yoga retreat in Marrakech, time has allowed for a beautiful combination of Asiatic, Arabic, and African cultures. Fortunately, there’s no need to wonder because the hosts are the artists (ask them anything you wish!). While Mrs Martin is considered the ‘Martha Stewart of Morocco’, Mr Martin is an ethnobotanist responsible for much of the landscaping on-site.
Known as ‘New Moroccan Style’, our host utilised traditional techniques and natural materials when creating the interior. The light and dark complement one another to provide a sense of harmony, and all these features come together to provide the perfect environment for yoga.

The Yoga with Perumal Retreat Method
offers diverse sequences for all levels, enhancing digestion, detoxification, and circulation while maintaining a meditative aspect. Sessions are customized, with no repetition, encouraging a relaxing journey. Classes, like those at the Lake Garda Spa or Marrakech Yoga Retreat, occur twice daily, lasting around 90 minutes. Retreats start with joint exercises for injury prevention. Sessions progress from core detox to upper body strength and stretching, always ending with a brief relaxation/ meditation. Retreats adapt based on participants' abilities, aiming for mastery rather than rushing. The environment and state of mind significantly influence the yoga experience. Dietary recommendations and customizable experiences make it either a peaceful retreat or an adventurous holiday, catering to individual preferences and needs. Learn more about Perumal Koshy
and the Yoga with Perumal method through.
TIME TO RELAX
If you have free time in your yoga retreat in Marrakech, visit the nearby hammam and allow the skin to go through a detoxification process. From here, black soap will be used to wash the body. The soap is plant-based and uses eucalyptus, olive oil, and ground olive pits. After months of stressful office work and feeling uptight, the skin will feel soothed and nourished.
You can enjoy a silk spun yarn body scrub which removes impurities and exfoliates the skin. To end the treatment perfectly, you’ll be surrounded by a desert mineral known as ‘rassoul’ that has been softened with rose water. Afterwards, you’ll feel like a new person with silky smooth skin ready to take on the world.

Palmeraie Luxury Teacher
MISS STEHAN TESTIMONIALS
Your Morocco yoga teacher is Miss Stephan. Ines began a yoga practice with her father as a teenager while competing in sports. She was a former downhill skier, hockey player and top two in Germany for badminton in the division under 14. After a yoga spark ignited by her father she continued studying through books such as André van Lysebeth, Gabriella Cella Al-Chamali and the Bihar School of Yoga from Swami Satyananda Saraswati. Hers was a multi-discipline solo yoga practice spanning twenty five years throughout a dynamic film career. Colleagues always observed Ines with yoga books and magazine cutouts for personal study. This was a yoga path paralleling a stressful film production career. As the 1st female film producer in Italy yoga was her strength and solace.
Climate
Your Marrakech yoga retreat will be along the subtropical climate of the Mediterranean, so you need to keep this in mind. Even in the winter months, it can be warm in the afternoons. Perhaps not surprisingly, the summers are extremely hot (especially in flat areas with a lack of shade!). In the mountains, it can be up to 15 degrees cooler. In fact, high altitudes can reach -17/18 degrees while being covered in snow.
If you happen to be visiting in winter, shady areas will be feeling chilly so don’t forget a jumper or sweater. In Marrakech as a whole, the architecture has been designed for warmer temperatures as opposed to colder days.
