✨ Begin the New Year in the Moroccan Desert

Imagine welcoming the New Year surrounded by golden dunes, gentle silence, soulful yoga sessions, and the warmth of a nomadic fire.
Our 9-Day New Year Yoga & Explore Desert Retreat is a journey through Morocco’s most breathtaking landscapes — from the lively streets of Marrakech, across the Atlas Mountains and the ancient Kasbah of Aït Ben Haddou, to the magical Sahara Desert, where you’ll celebrate New Year’s Eve under a sky full of stars.

This retreat combines yoga, meditation, cultural discovery, and authentic Amazigh (Berber) hospitality.
It’s not just a trip — it’s a soulful reset to begin 2026 with clarity, lightness, and joy.
