Common questions

Do I need to be an experienced yogi?
Not at all. All sessions are taught to accommodate every level from complete beginners to experienced practitioners. The practices meet you where you are.
Is the food really all plant-based?
Yes. Moroccan plant-based cuisine is exceptional — think tagines, fresh salads, flatbreads, dates and seasonal vegetables. Most people are converted within 24 hours. If you have specific allergies or dietary needs, let us know when you book.
How do I get to Essaouira?
Fly into Marrakech (RAK) — it's the closest major airport, about 2.5 hours from Essaouira by road. We'll share transfer details and coordinate group travel options after you book. Budget airlines fly direct from most UK airports.
What's the weather like in November?
Essaouira in November is warm and sunny — typically 20–24°C. It's off-season so it's quieter, less touristy, and cheaper for everything. The Atlantic breeze keeps it comfortable for outdoor movement.
Can I come alone or do I need to bring someone?
Most people come solo. Retreats are brilliant for this — you arrive alone and leave with genuine connections. If you'd like to share a twin room with another solo female traveller, we can pair you up.
What's the cancellation policy?
Deposits are non-refundable but transferable. If you can no longer attend, you can transfer your deposit to another retreat or pass your place to someone else. Full balance is due 8 weeks before departure.
What's included in the 3 months aftercare?
You get access to weekly group yoga sessions, monthly group coaching calls with Oli, and a private WhatsApp group for accountability and support. It's worth £997 and is included in all room prices at no extra cost.
How many people will be there?
We keep retreats intentionally small — typically 10–14 people. Small enough that everyone knows each other's name by day two. Big enough to have genuine energy in the room.

Your body changes when
your world changes

Five days in Morocco. Movement, food, sun and a community of people doing the same work as you. Limited places. When they're gone, they're gone.
