Atlas Kasbah, Morocco - November
The Atlas Kasbah Ecolodge is a beautiful guesthouse, peacefully situated in the foothills of the Atlas Mountains. In the heart of its own exceptional ecosystem, where a permaculture garden, olive trees, argan trees, palm trees, fruit trees and aromatic and medicinal plants and other cultures coexist, the ecolodge offers a natural heritage of beauty and makes it very easy to leave all your worries at the entrance! All meals are provided on this retreat, the traditional (vegetarian) Moroccan food is freshly prepared each day, using local produce, many from women's cooperatives.
We are so lucky that the Atlas Kasbah has its own yoga studio with magnificent views, complete with yoga mats and equipment - no need to bring your own.
The saltwater pool is yours to use whenever you wish during the day and has very comfortable sun loungers, tables and chairs, and shady areas surrounding it.
During your free time you can swim or lounge around the pool, find a quiet spot on the terrace to read a book, take a trip to Agadir (shopping/marina/beach) or further afield, have a walk around the grounds, or indulge in a treatment in the onsite Spa (payable locally).
Whitehouse, Welshpool - March
Join me for a long weekend where you will have the opportunity to escape, relax, unwind and have some "me-time." Nestled in the beautiful countryside of Powys, our venue is set within its own woodland, with gorgeous gardens, and the delicate sound of a stream to sooth your cares away.
This very small and intimate retreat is open to just 8 people of all abilities, and will include a variety of classes, including hatha, yin and restorative yoga, and also qigong. There will also be some time set aside where you can indulge in a massage or reflexology treatment, simply relax within the 17th century house, or have a stroll through the stunning grounds and local trails. Delicious and freshly prepared vegetarian meals are provided, and drinks are available all day.
