Arrive and feel two things at once — completely relaxed and genuinely excited. The former residence of a sultan. A palatial riad on the outskirts of Marrakesh with three yoga spaces, a swimming pool, a hammam, four dining spaces and more hidden corners than you'll manage to find in four days. Exclusive use of the grounds, and September sunshine pretty much guaranteed.
Beautiful yoga with Veronica Kadi. If you know, you know. Incredible food prepared by onsite chefs. On-site treatments to book if you fancy it. A small group of people who get it.
Move in the morning. Swim in the day. Learn something new. Stretch at sunset. Eat well. Explore if you want to. Do absolutely nothing if you don't.
This is a yoga retreat, but it feels like a holiday.
Veronica is a Margate-based yoga teacher and loved in the Hotpod community. She roots her teaching in Vinyasa, Rocket, Mandala and Yin, with a steady breath at the centre and a strong focus on building both physical and mental strength.
Her style is strong, playful and welcoming. She combines dynamic flows and thoughtful sequencing to help students move with confidence and curiosity. Veronica firmly believes in yoga's ability to make you feel happier, more balanced and connected. Her classes always leave you feeling energised and inspired.
Experiencing her classes in Marrakesh is going to be something special.
@veronicakadiyogaThree dedicated yoga spaces: a rooftop terrace with views over the Atlas Mountains, an air-conditioned indoor studio and an open-air courtyard in the gardens.
Start the day moving. Vinyasa builds heat and finds your rhythm, while Mandala takes you on a circular journey around the mat. Dynamic, flowing and energising. Designed to set you up for whatever the day brings. Starting with breakfast.
These sessions are a chance to explore, play and go a little deeper, or just turn up and see what happens (if you want). Try something new, refine where you are, wobble, fall, laugh, try again.
End the day slowly, most probably on the rooftop. Long holds, deep stretches, soft light, total surrender. Nowhere else you need to be.
Mats, blocks and bolsters provided. Bring your own if you prefer.
Fifteen bedrooms set across expansive landscaped grounds just outside Marrakesh. Far enough from the city to feel genuinely peaceful. Close enough to the airport to be easy.
The riad has its own traditional hammam, included as part of the retreat. After a morning of yoga, there is nothing better.
A full menu of on-site treatments and massages is also available to pre-book or arrange during your stay. Your call.
Marrakesh has a lot going on if you want it to. A group excursion is planned as part of the retreat. Think hot air balloon over the desert at sunrise, a poolside lunch in the golden sands, or something entirely bespoke. More details to follow.
Rooms are first come, first served. All include a private bathroom, air conditioning and traditional Moroccan décor.

Veronica tailors her classes for everyone in the room. If you're more experienced she'll take you deeper and challenge you further. If you're newer to yoga, you'll be supported every step of the way. She works with where you are, niggles and all.
This isn't a beginner's retreat but it's not an exclusive one either. If you've been to a few classes and know your way around a sun salutation, you're ready. If you're newer, September gives you plenty of time to build some foundations and you'll be in good hands when you get there.
