YOGA RETREAT SEPTEMBER 2ND TO 9TH 2023
Banana Beach - Aourir Morocco

|
Our peaceful private villa is located on Banana beach in Aourir. The Yoga Shala, high on the roof top of the villa, is surrounded by fantastic views of beach, ocean and mountain. The Shala has a wooden finish throughout and is surrounded by glass doors that can be opened wide for an airy feel on warmer days for an unforgettable yoga practice.
The 9 beautiful bedrooms are authentically decorated, sprinkled with trinkets and designed to a theme. There are 4 spacious ocean front bedrooms, 4 mountain view rooms and 1 bedroom downstairs. All bedrooms are en-suite except 2. The 2 non-en suites share a bathroom between them and there is an additional bathroom on the ground floor. All rooms are available as single, twin or double rooms. 2 of the rooms can accommodate up to 3/4 guests.
Colourful flowers provide shade for the front terrace and outdoor dining area and there is plenty of space on the sweeping sun terraces for relaxing with a book or lazing by the ocean front swimming pool. If you want to completely relax you can spend the day by the pool reading and sunbathing between your delicious vegetarian meals and yoga sessions. It is also the perfect place to chat with your fellow yogis and take a refreshing dip after a day at the beach.
The indoor lounge & dining area looks out onto the pool and Banana beach. It is light, airy and perfect for relaxing and reading a book after a day in the sun, surf or exploring. It is the perfect place to meet and socialise with your fellow yogi's before and after your meals.
All meals plus afternoon tea and cake, are included as part of the retreat. For breakfast and dinner, guests are invited to feast together at sharing tables located on the terrace overlooking the ocean or indoors at the dining tables in the lounge area. For lunch, we provide a packed lunch for you to eat wherever you decide to spend your day.
The retreat chefs will cook delicious vegetarian food made from local seasonal ingredients. The menus are inspired by a delectable mix of Moroccan and international ingredients and recipes. Meals are balanced and nutritious – with many indulgent treats too

"This is my first yoga retreat and I have never come across such a passionate and energetic yoga teacher. Charli has changed my views about yoga. She makes everyone feel absolutely comfortable and encourages you to do your best. She adjusts you to make sure you are doing the pose correctly to get the best outcome for your body and yoga experience. The whole experience has been fantastic and the best part is meeting such lovely people and becoming a better student. I cannot wait for the next retreat in Turkey. Thank you for being such a fabulous person!"

IMAGINE A WEEK WHERE YOU PUT YOU AND YOUR HEALTH FIRST
This yoga retreat will be an amazing opportunity to immerse yourself in the yoga practice. Each day will include vinyasa flow yoga, yin yoga, meditation, pranayama and mindfulness. You'll be practicing these techniques for 3-4 hours per day. And as well all know practice is key. The more you practice the more your body and mind will just remember the places to go. The alignment in yoga poses will become more natural and understood with repetition. The mind will start to remember how to find it's way to the quiet places and will experience how quiet we can really become. Each day you will connect deeper and deeper to the practice and yourself. Your mind will slow down and you will be able to notice the more important things being said internally and your inner wisdom.

"It is clear that Charli is a very experienced yoga teacher. Her classes are well thought out & encompass a whole body workshop. Charli is extremely encouraging to both beginners & experienced yogi's alike, adapting where needed. I have had a blast on my yoga retreat & would highly reccomend to all, even beginners like me.

OUR LOCATION
The area immediately surrounding our villa has beautiful sea views and great beaches are in walking distance. The beach directly outside the villa is not a swimming or sunbathing beach but if you walk 10-15 minutes you will find a lovely beach to relax on. The villa is in a remote location and is off the beaten track, quiet and secluded. The retreat is based 10 minutes walk from Banana Village (Aourir) where there a few shops (not many!), and 5km south of Taghazout, a colourful characteristic fishing village, famous for its great surf and laid back, friendly atmosphere. The villa is 20km north of Agadir and 45km from Agadir’s international airport

"My first retreat after starting yoga 5 months ago - great experience. I felt my progression over the week and enjoyed the relaxed approach. A fantastic mix of meditation, breath exercises, yang & yin yoga practices. I would definitely recommend Charli's retreats to others looking for the retreat experience"
