Do I need yoga experience?
The morning practices are creative, dynamic vinyasa, so the retreat is best suited to people who already have some regular practice. That doesn't mean being advanced, just being comfortable with the basics of a flow class. I'll offer options and variations throughout, so you can make each practice gentler or stronger. Evenings are slow, restorative yin, which suits everyone. If you're completely new to yoga or have an injury, please get in touch before booking and we can talk it through.
Can I surf?
Yes. The coast here is known for its surf, and lessons can be arranged for all abilities. Let me know if you're interested and I'll book them for you. Lessons are paid separately.
Can you cater for dietary requirements?
Yes. Tell me about any dietary requirements when you book and the kitchen will cater for you.
Can I have a room to myself?
Yes. Some room can be booked for single occupancy. See the room options here. If you'd like to share with someone else who's booking, let me know.
How do I book?
Send me a message through the booking form (or email hello@jonwiseyoga.co.uk) and tell me which room you'd like and whether you're sharing or on your own. I'll confirm it's available and send you the payment details.
A £400 deposit secures your place, and the balance is due by 1 April 2027. Your place is confirmed once the deposit is in. Rooms go in the order deposits arrive, so if there's one you particularly want, don't hang about.
Please read the cancellation policy before you book. I'm not able to offer refunds, so make sure your travel insurance covers the full cost of the retreat.
How do I get there?
Fly into Agadir. Transfers run only from Agadir airport, so please don't book into another Moroccan airport. There are direct flights from several UK airports. Once you've booked, send me your flight details and I'll arrange your transfers closer to the time.
Can I come on my own?
Absolutely. Plenty of guests come on their own. The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly, with communal meals and activities, and there's lots of room to have time to yourself too.
Is it all group activities, or can I have some quiet time?
We'll practise and eat together as a group, and people often team up for a surf, a trip into Taghazout or a walk along the coast. You're also encouraged to take time for yourself: read by the pool, head to the beach or have a nap.
How many people will there be?
Numbers are capped at 16, so there's plenty of individual attention. Places are limited, so I'd recommend booking early.
What will the weather be like?
Late June on this stretch of coast is warm and sunny, usually in the mid to high 20s°C, with a sea breeze that keeps it comfortable. Evenings can be cooler, so bring a light layer.
Do I need to bring money?
Morocco uses the dirham (MAD). You can't get it before you travel, so withdraw cash at the airport or in town. Cash is useful for extras, tips and markets.
I have a question. Is there someone I can speak to?
Of course. You can message me directly here with any questions.
What's your cancellation policy?
I run this retreat myself, and the costs of the venue and bookings are committed well in advance, so I'm not able to offer refunds for any reason, either on your deposit or on your balance payments. I also can't give partial refunds if you arrive late or leave early. If you can't make it, you're very welcome to pass your place to someone else. Just let me know who's coming instead. Please make sure your travel insurance covers the full cost of the retreat, including illness or injury, as well as your travel.
