Essaouira, Morocco
Find Inspiration in Every Turn
Not Like Any Other Retreat
A transformative, rejuvenating experience combining Yoga, Meditation & Holistic Nutrition
Welcome to our 7-day Yoga & Nutrition retreat in beautiful Essaouira, Morocco! From 11 to 17 March 2026, Charlotte & Annette will be creating a space where adventure meets relaxation, letting you dive into a world that restores both body and mind. Set along Essaouira’s stunning coast, this retreat invites you to reconnect through yoga, meditation and healing food, helping you find balance and peace.
You’ll also have plenty of chances to explore: try surfing on incredible beaches, horseback riding through breathtaking landscapes, and indulging in delicious local flavors that capture the essence of Morocco’s vibrant culture.
With a focus on gut health and detoxing, the first two days are designed to ease you into an upcoming three-day alkaline fasting period, ensuring a smooth transition. Rest assured, this isn't a traditional fast. Instead, we'll eliminate acid-forming foods -such as processed snacks, refined sugars, and heavy animal products- and replace them with a nourishing selection of alkaline-rich foods like fresh fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds. There's no calorie restriction involved; it's about making mindful, healthful choices. Following this, we'll conclude with a two-day aftercare phase, where we gently reintroduce the vibrant culinary delights of Essaouira, celebrating the rich flavors and traditions of the region.
"Throughout the retreat, our sessions of power vinyasa, yin, and restorative yoga are designed to work with all six dimensions of human experience – body, energy, mind, heart, awareness, and soul. With meditations, journaling, nature time, and wellness rituals, this retreat isn’t just about relaxation; it’s about renewal. Join us to reset and recharge on every level, walking away with fresh energy, resilience, and joy."
