Join EAT.PRAY.MOVE on another fantastic retreat here at Peacock Pavilions. EPM has hosted over 30 retreats in the past 12 years here and will certainly know how to guide you on a balanced week of relaxation, self-care, and adventure.
ALIGN + AWAKEN - Join us for a luxurious week of exploring your body and mind through daily yoga, somatic body work, and sensory explorations of Marrakesh. Go inward with time for renewal, and adventure outward on our Moroccan day trips and adventures!
ALIGN + AWAKEN
This retreat will combine yoga with somatic bodywork. Soma exploration involves witnessing and experiencing the entirety of one’s organism. Much of our human experience has been carved into fragments of the whole self, where we’ve compartmentalized our being into the thinking vs. feeling self, conscious vs. unconscious self, physical vs. spiritual self. Somatic play aims to return us to a state of wholeness.
Alongside ALIGNment-based hatha/vinyasa yoga classes, somatic workshops will be offered to explore a return to wholeness via sensory entry points, including touch, breath, movement/gesture, and sound. Activities such as self-massage with oils, breath practices and meditations to bring one into the present moment, movement exercises to encourage embodied awareness, and use of sound as means of release and restoration from the habitual grips held in the body. Each participant will also have the opportunity to receive up to two individual somatic coaching and bodywork sessions, as a means to AWAKEN to one’s deep yearnings and desires, notice how beliefs and emotions are held in the body, and learn tailored practices to implement upon one’s return home. The essence of Align + Awaken is to leave an impression of what is would be like to be wholly present in the moment and to one’s life unfolding.
Guests will not only enjoy the grounds of Peacock Pavilions and the outdoor areas (including a lovely pool, patio, private terraces, and covered yoga platform), but the retreat also includes some amazing day-trips to surrounding sites. A guided day in Marrakesh will lead guests through an introduction to souks, artisans, and plenty of architectural sites to see.
A day will be spent exploring the desert outside of the city where we’ll experience camel rides on the dunes and a coursed tasting lunch! We’ll of course visit the famed Jardin Majorelle and the YSL Museum. During the week we’ll enjoy activities on-site such as a henna party, a poolside brunch, after dinner Moroccan entertainment, and an evening cinema under the stars. The final full day entails a trip to a famous hammam (a luxurious spa facility), where guests can be pampered to their heart's content with a full program of various treatments. What better way to wrap up a week of yoga than a day of pure relaxation.
