About The Retreat
A chance to have a reset before the busy festive season begins and a chance to nurture yourself. This 5-day retreat will be filled with meditation, journaling, yoga, workshops, massages, facials, a chance to explore Marrakech if you wish or simply enjoy lying by the pool in tranquil surroundings. Villa Dar Moulouya is situated just 20 minutes outside of Marrakech city centre. The Villa itself has 7 beautiful colourful bedrooms, 5 of these are en suite. Boasting a lovely swimming pool surrounded by a large mature garden with stunning views of the Atlas Mountains. Dar Moulouya's wonderful chef Rabia will be cooking on this retreat and serving up delicious healthy locally sourced produce and food. This particular retreat is open to all levels, my classes always have variations for those wanting to go deeper, or take a slightly lighter class. Morning classes will be a warming Vinyasa Flow or Hatha class and afternoon classes will be Yin or Restorative Yoga. I also will be offering meditations and guided journaling on this retreat. I am a qualified yoga teacher, with 500 hours training in Advanced Vinyasa, Hatha and Yin Yoga. I specialise in warming and creative Vinyasa flow as well as Yin Yoga. I offer online and in person classes if you want to see how I teach before booking! Also joining me is masseuse and facialist Talullah O'Hea. Tallulah is an experienced Sports Massage Therapist who has been working in the industry for 7 years. Her expertise and knowledge of the body helps guide her intuitively through her treatments, making each treatment bespoke to the individual. Tallulah has extensive knowledge about the mind and body connection and she is passionate about helping her clients relieve tension, de-stress and find a sense of relaxation. A stressed mind creates a stressed body and her massage aims to calm both the mind and the body. We would love to have you join this retreat - if you have any questions I am so happy to answer for you. Otherwise I really hope to see you in Marrakech for a 5 retreat you won't regret!

Violet's retreats are organised with love, passion and care. I went on one of her Wiltshire retreats last year and came away feeling energised, nourished and ready to take on a busy period I had ahead. I couldn't recommend this retreat more, Violet and Talullah make a great team!

I had been so busy with work and was burnt out! I signed up to one of Violet's retreats and came away a new women. If you are wanting a bit of time out, a chance to connect back to yourself, then this is the retreat for you!
