The Retreater

Winter Escape Surf & Yoga Retreat in Morocco

About The Retreat

This retreat in Morocco will also be a cultural immersion, our retreat location used to be a fisherman's house and today it has this home feeling from all the love and dedication Theresa and Hamid poured into this place. The small village of Imsouane bay is a magical place, away from the hustle and bustle of touristic centres, it still holds the authentic Moroccan culture, where we will have daily interaction with the local community and their traditions. Surfing & Yoga both can help us get out of our minds, be in the moment, practice focus and concentration, and develop discipline, and resilience... Improving your surfing will go along hand in hand with your personal development journey in our retreat in Morocco.​ As usual with every retreat, our daily yoga practice and complementary workshops are carefully thought of with the purpose to help you work on yourself, create awareness of patterns and focus on YOUR change. Your wonderful retreat host Karol, believes we can go on and on about the things we would like to change in other people, in the system, or even in the world. It sounds a bit cliche but the change starts within ourselves. Once you change the way you react to external situations, acting with more mindfulness and awareness, then you start seeing real changes happening all around you. Surfing and Yoga go hand in hand in this process of change, managing the frustrations that might come along the way in this development process, and building up confidence, determination, and presence... You start realizing that everything is interconnected and that Yoga, like surfing, and also like personal development is a lifestyle. A journey without an end. Karol wants to show you how to enjoy this process and incorporate it into your daily life.

This was my first retreat ever and it's been an incredible experience. It felt like there was a purpose on us being here together as a group and it was very easy to get along. A great mix of yoga and activities. The food was incredible and I leave feeling energised and more aware of myself and my thoughts. Karol is a brilliant teacher. Thank you!

This is my 2nd retreat with Karol. This retreat brought together mindfulness, body awareness and overall good vibes! It was the perfect mixture of activities, surf and yoga. A gorgeous way to spend a week in an otherwise dark & cold winter at home. Be ready to make some friends and simply enjoy the good things in life!

The retreat was very well organised, the balance between activities was perfect and the location amazing! I loved the connection between surf, yoga, breathwork and pottery. The food was also prepared with much care and had a good mix of local and international flavours. I felt that the retreat was a good balance between energising activities and personal development.
