Your home for a week
WELCOME TO ECOLODGE MARRAKECH
In an area of 7 hectares surrounded by wheat fields and olive groves, with stunning views over the Atlas, two villages built of adobe include two rooms and Suites furnished and decorated in traditional Moroccan style.

Your itinerary
This retreat is all about coming back to yourself, re-harmonizing and connecting with and rekindling your authentic, powerful, natural spirit. And we promise lots of laughter and fun!
You’ll embrace new skills and ways of thinking, but you’ll also learn to surrender those thoughts and traits that are no longer servicing your overall well-being. This retreat is designed to help you connect with your inner teacher, power, passion and purpose through yoga, detox, meditation, and chakra healing. You’ll come away feeling revitalized, and most importantly—powerful.
Yoga is for everyone, you don’t need to be an experts, nor be flexible to practice self care!

Testimonials
“Experience: Relaxing, Disconnecting, Empowering and Fulfilling to the Soul. My soul thanks you. 🙂Lessons: Figure out my goals (timeline between goals and wants). Re-evaluate my belief system. Need to know what makes my heart sings, what I love about myself. That I am more outgoing than I thought. I am easy going than I thought. I love myself just the way I am. Stop seeking outer validation. Be content within.”
“This is my very first retreat. For me, I was lost and confused at first. But with the sessions of yoga and the topics that Laura gave us, they helped me know more about myself. This experience truly helped me to know more myself and discover who I am”
“This retreat was beyond my expectation. I came here purely for yoga. The sessions and the discussions we had made me realize how much I can grow and develop. The whole program was very well organized. I highly recommend keeping a small amount of participant for such program. I think it was a good factor but really this trip is very successful”
“Love it. Nothing to add, just I would like to thank you for being part of my journey (healing)”
“ Very beautiful experience. Truly exceeded my expectations.”
