Desert Soul: Nomadic Yoga Retreat

PriceFrom £200.00

Embark on a Journey of Self-Discovery in the Sahara Desert

 

Unplug from the chaos of everyday life and immerse yourself in a wild adventure in the Sahara Desert.

 

Join us: Saturday 4th - Saturday 11th October 2025

 

Come with an open heart, leave with a soul full of memories. Your desert adventure awaits.

 

My Desert Soul Retreat invites you to experience a once-in-a-lifetime yoga retreat that combines adventure, wellness, and a deep connection to the world around us. Over the course of 7 magical nights, you'll traverse sweeping sand dunes, practice yoga under the open sky, and sleep beneath a canopy of stars. This retreat is designed to reconnect you with your inner self while exploring the timeless beauty of the desert landscape.

 

What to Expect:

My Desert Soul Retreat is a unique retreat that offers more than just yoga; it's an invitation to step out of your comfort zone, reconnect with nature, and rediscover your inner strength. Guided by experienced nomadic hosts, this retreat combines the tranquility of yoga with the thrill of adventure in one of the world’s most breathtaking landscapes. Join us for an unforgettable journey of self-discovery, where the vastness of the Sahara becomes a mirror to your soul, and every sunrise brings a new opportunity to awaken your soul.

 

This is a nomadic retreat that invites you to embrace the simplicity and raw beauty of the desert. While in the Sahara, we will be going back to basics, living in traditional nomadic style, and immersing ourselves fully in the natural environment. This is an adventurous experience designed to help you disconnect from the modern world and reconnect with yourself and the earth. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to experience life away from the usual comforts and luxuries, which may not include all the frills and extras typically found in other retreats.

 

If you’re seeking a more luxurious experience, consider joining our Portugal 2025 retreat, where you can enjoy a more refined blend of comfort and wellness.

 

Where You'll Stay

During your Desert Soul retreat you'll experience a variety of unique accommodations that reflect the spirit of our journey. The first four nights will be spent in a nomadic bivouac, moving with the rhythm of the desert and sleeping under the vast expanse of the starry sky or in traditional Berber tents. On the fifth night, we'll settle into a fixed camp, offering a bit more structure while still embracing the authenticity of desert living. For the final two nights, we'll retreat to a charming riad hotel in Ouarzazate, where you can enjoy modern comforts such as a refreshing swimming pool, a rooftop terrace with stunning views of the city and mountains, and beautiful rooms.

 

Yoga Practices to Elevate Your Soul

Our retreat offers a carefully curated blend of yoga practices designed to suit all levels of experience. Morning sessions will invigorate your body and mind with energising Vinyasa flows, aligning breath with movement to energize you for the day ahead. In the evenings, unwind with restorative Yin yoga, focusing on deep stretches and mindful relaxation to release tension and restore balance.

 

Our days will end with a peaceful Yoga Nidra session, also known as "yogic sleep," guiding you into a profound state of relaxation and inner calm as you lie under the starry desert sky.

Culinary Delights in the Desert

Throughout your stay, our skilled local chefs will prepare delicious meals using fresh, local ingredients. You'll enjoy a variety of Moroccan specialties, from flavourful soups to hearty tagines all vegetarian friendly. Our meals cater to all dietary needs, with numerous vegetarian options available. Each meal is a celebration of the rich culinary heritage of the region, designed to nourish both body and soul. Savor fresh salads, delectable desserts, and traditional sand-baked bread, all prepared with love and care in the heart of the desert.

 

What to Pack and Preparation

To ensure you are fully prepared for this adventure, a comprehensive PDF guide will be issued upon booking. This guide will include detailed information about the flights you need to book, clothes you need to pack, and any equipment and trekking shoes or sandals you need to bring.
