We will start the day with an awakening yoga flow, followed by delicious breakfast with sea views. Each day will offer something slightly different, you will enjoy 2 handstand workshops, 2 full days at beach learning how to surf, a day excursion to Paradise Valley and an afternoon at a traditional Moroccan market.
Traditional Moroccan meals will be served daily; breakfast, lunch and dinner.
ACCOMODATION
Taghazout’s oldest accommodation venue L’Auberge is an upscale guest house with a boutique vibe. Just meters from the beach and in the heart of the village, The Auberge offers clean, simple but thoughtfully decorated and designed rooms.
Set over four floors in the centre of Taghazout Bay, with the ground floor housing Taghazout’s most popular restaurant, the L’Auberge.
In the chill out lounge our tea/coffee station offers you the chance to enjoy a hot beverage of your choice any time of the day. Daily fresh fruit deliveries will allow you to refuel energy after surf or yoga. You can relax on the sofas, enjoy the swap book selection and use the free wi-fi.
The Auberge is right on Taghazout Beach, perfectly poised to watch the fishing boats come in and soak up the laid-back village atmosphere. Staying at the Auberge is a truly unique Moroccan experience. Shops, cafes, restaurants, surf shops and all Taghazout has to offer are right on your doorstep.
The rooftop terrace, sun-filled balconies and restaurant come together to give the Auberge a real community feel. Kick back and enjoy the sunset from one of the beautiful terraces at the house.
LOCATION
Internationally renowned amongst travellers, surfers, and yogis for its laid-back pace and world-class waves, Taghazout is a unique gem on Morocco’s Atlantic coast.
Located 40 min from Agadir international airport, it’s a short hop (only 2 to 3 hours) from most central European cities. It’s the closest place for any European surfer to get year-round warm water, perfect waves, and a unique cultural experience.
YOGA SHALA
Two amazing spaces to practice yoga, both overlook the ocean with an amazing view of the sunset.
One has a covered roof and is longer in shape. The second space is open top and is a square in shape.
The beach is also on the door step of the house, this makes a beautiful setting for a yoga class at both the sunrise & sunset.
YOGA
Build strength in your body and awaken your mind with our creative and fiery morning vinyasa. Warm the body from head to toe, while exploring and breaking down different asana, through movement drills and creative transitions. Learn to use your breath and mind to move your body in any way you want. In the evening, wind down with a gentle yoga flow and meditating. Allow your body to relax and restore, while practicing under the Moroccan night sky.
HANDSTANDS
Are you a yogi that wants to learn to Handstand? Or are you already practicing but looking to improve your balance and alignment? This retreat will offer 2 workshops with the option to divide the class by ‘beginners’ and ‘Intermediates’ if the group is split level.
We will teach you flexibility and strengthening exercises to help work towards the elicit straight handstand with open shoulders and a flat back. There will be a lot of focus on warming up our wrists to protect ourselves against injuries and we will aim to take the handstand away from the wall as you learn how to bail safely.
For the more experienced hand balancers, you will learn different entries and shapes as your balance improves.
SURFING AND EXCURSIONS
Enjoy 2 full days at the beach, learning how to ride the waves. Both days include morning surf lessons with afternoon free surf time to practice your new skills. All surf equipment is included.
We are offering two excursions during the week. Our first trip will be a full day at Paradise Valley, including a hike, swimming, cliff diving and a traditional Moroccan meal looking over the beautiful valley views. We also will take you on an afternoon out to a traditional Moroccan market. This is the time to put your haggling skills to the test!
YOUR TEACHERS
Aurora has a passion for intuitive movement and conscious understanding of how our bodies move and function. She fuses fluid flows with integrative movements to develop an intuitive awareness of your mobility and strength. Her focus lies on how our bodies need to activate to maintain a stable and safe practice. Trained in Bali Aurora has taught classes and workshops throughout Europe, Asia and the UK.
During this week Aurora will explore how building your practice from a foundation of stable strength allows you to discover true control and consciousness of your whole range of movement.
Linzi’s true passion is being upside down and lives by the motto #lifeisbetterupsidedown. Linzi broke her neck after a fall in acrobatics but was determined it would not stop her from enjoying life on her hands. 7 short weeks after an 8-hour operation, she was hand balancing once again. The injury changed her outlook on life and pushed her to quit her corporate job, move to Denmark and start a career teaching Yoga and Handstands.
