The Riad

Indoor courtyard with large palm plants in black pots surrounded by a tiled pool and turquoise accents, with seating and decorative lanterns.

We have chosen the most divine Riad to spend our time. A calm and welcoming space tucked away in the lively Medina. With its traditional Moroccan architecture, peaceful courtyards, and rooftop views over the city, it offers the perfect balance between retreat and exploration.

The riad features a mix of single and shared rooms, each designed with care and comfort in mind. Expect handcrafted touches, soft textiles, and a relaxed feel throughout. Whether you’re travelling solo or with a friend, there’s a space to suit your needs.

The Desert Camp

Our camp is situated in the stone desert of Agafay, a serene and soulful escape surrounded by vast, open landscapes.

The luxury desert yurts blend comfort with simplicity. Each one has a private terrace and an ensuite bathroom, offering a quiet space to unwind and reflect. Shared and single occupancy options are available, depending on your preference.

The heart of the camp is its desert yoga shala, where we gather for breathwork, movement, and cacao under the shifting skies.

When you're not on the mat, take a dip in the pool or simply enjoy the silence and light of the desert. Meals are served on the terrace with views that stretch to the Atlas Mountains — nourishing, grounding, and made with care.

You’ll enjoy healthy and delicious vegetarian meals, lovingly crafted with passion and attention to detail. While all meals are plant-based, we can accommodate most dietary requirements upon request, including vegan and gluten-free.

The Yoga

The yoga will be a blend of mindfulness, breathwork, and gentle flow to create a deeply nourishing practice suitable for all levels, from complete beginners to seasoned yogis.

The emphasis is on presence over perfection, inviting each student to listen to their body, honour their limits, and explore movement with curiosity and compassion. The sessions will weave together dynamic sequences, restorative poses, and guided meditation to support both physical well-being and inner calm.

Through the retreat, we’ll offer a variety of sessions including flow, Yin, breathwork, and Yoga Nidra — all designed to awaken your body’s natural energy and deepen your connection to self.

Whether you seek strength, flexibility, relaxation, or emotional balance, Carla’s yoga invites you to journey inward and cultivate a lasting sense of peace and resilience.

The Spaces

  • Indoor yoga space with mats and cushions on patterned rugs, a white sofa with colorful pillows, and desert plants in terracotta pots.

    The Terrace

    High above the city, this rooftop haven offers panoramic views and a soulful space for practice. The Terrace is especially magical at sunrise and sunset, where the call to prayer mingles with birdsong and golden light.

  • Two women practicing yoga indoors on mats, with one woman in a side plank pose and the other in a side stretch pose.

    The Studio

    The indoor yoga studio is a calming cocoon away from the bustle of the Medina. With handcrafted Moroccan tiles beneath your feet, soft natural light, and a sense of stillness that invites presence, it’s the perfect setting for deep dives into breathwork, yoga nidra, and gentle movement.

  • People practicing yoga in a bright, airy tent with draped fabric and large vases holding dried plants.

    The Desert

    There’s a different kind of stillness in the desert—a silence that speaks. The Desert Camp is nestled within this vast, lunar-like landscape, where golden light stretches for miles and the stars feel close enough to touch. Practising here is both grounding and expansive, a return to the source.
