Reconnect, Recharge, and Renew: La Vida Surf's 6-Day Yoga and Meditation Retreat
Imagine waking up to the gentle rays of the Moroccan sun, the crisp morning air carrying a sense of calm and promise. Picture yourself stepping onto an open-air terrace, surrounded by the breathtaking beauty of nature, ready to begin a journey that will leave you feeling lighter, clearer, and more connected. This is the heart of La Vida Surf’s 6-Day Yoga and Meditation Retreat—a transformative experience where every moment is designed to nourish your body, mind, and soul.
Daily Yoga and Meditation
Each day begins with the golden hues of sunrise painting the sky as you flow through a gentle Vinyasa practice. With the sound of birds and the breeze as your soundtrack, you’ll find energy and peace in every pose. Evening sessions invite stillness and reflection, with Yin and restorative yoga practices that soothe the body and quiet the mind. The glow of lanterns and the vast Moroccan stars create a magical setting for evening meditations.
Through guided meditation, you’ll learn to center yourself and embrace the present. These moments of mindfulness are like gifts to your soul, helping you carry a sense of calm and clarity long after the retreat ends.

Whether you’re an experienced yogi or stepping onto the mat for the first time, this retreat is crafted to meet you where you are. Every element—from the flow of yoga sessions to the warmth of communal meals—is infused with care and intention.

A Culinary Journey: Food for the Body and Soul
At La Vida Surf, food is a love language. Every meal is a celebration of fresh, local, and nourishing ingredients.
Imagine starting your day with a breakfast of vibrant seasonal fruits, creamy yogurt, homemade granola, and freshly baked bread paired with Moroccan honey. Lunchtime brings colorful salads, hearty soups, and plant-based dishes that leave you feeling both satisfied and energized.
And then there’s the highlight: Moroccan Night. This special evening is a sensory feast that celebrates the richness of Moroccan culture. You’ll gather with your retreat family around a beautifully set table to enjoy an authentic Moroccan dinner. Aromatic tagines simmered with vegetables and spices, warm khobz bread, vibrant side dishes, and refreshing mint tea come together to create a meal that’s both comforting and unforgettable.
As the meal unfolds, the air fills with the enchanting sounds of live Moroccan music. Local musicians bring their talent and passion, playing traditional instruments that transport you to another world. The rhythms are soulful and joyous, inviting you to clap, dance, or simply close your eyes and let the music move you. This evening is more than a dinner—it’s a celebration of life, connection, and the beauty of shared experiences.
A Community of Warmth
From the moment you arrive, you’re welcomed into a community that feels like family. Sharing circles, group meals, and shared adventures create bonds that are both meaningful and lasting. Each person brings their own energy and story, and together, you create a space of trust, laughter, and mutual support.
On Moroccan Night, these connections shine even brighter. As you share delicious food, clap along to live music, and exchange stories under the stars, you’ll feel a sense of belonging that’s hard to put into words. It’s a reminder that while each of us is on our own journey, we’re never truly alone.
Nature: Your Constant Companion
Surrounded by breathtaking natural landscapes, our retreat is a sanctuary where nature’s beauty soothes and inspires. From the rugged trails of our conscious hikes to the serene terrace where you practice yoga, every moment invites you to reconnect with the world around you.
The conscious hike is particularly special. Walking mindfully through Morocco’s stunning landscapes, you’ll notice the textures of the earth beneath your feet, the scent of wild herbs in the air, and the sound of wind weaving through the hills. It’s a reminder of the simplicity and depth of being present.
A day Out in Essaouira
Midway through your retreat, you’ll embark on an enchanting evening adventure to the historic city of Essaouira. Known as the "Wind City of Africa," Essaouira boasts a rich history that weaves together Moroccan, Berber, and European influences. Strolling through the narrow streets of its medina—a UNESCO World Heritage Site—you’ll discover vibrant souks, artisanal shops, and the scent of the ocean breeze.
The day out offers a chance to savor the flavors of Moroccan cuisine at a local restaurant, enjoy live music, and soak in the city’s lively yet serene atmosphere. This cultural experience adds a unique layer to your retreat, offering moments of joy and connection that complement the peace of the retreat setting.
