Sally Goldfinger

Sally is an extraordinary individual with a unique blend of yoga wisdom, spiritual depth, and exceptional organizational abilities. The venue left quite an impression, quiet countryside and the high-quality food added to the experience.

Excellent teacher - thoughtful and experienced. Tailored the practise to our needs and made sure everything at the venue was to our liking.

Although I was a yoga beginner, I felt perfectly uplifted and comfortable with Sally from the first minute. Sally had a deep understanding of my individual needs and adapted our lessons accordingly. I had booked a four day retreat and it was great for me to see my progress over these four days. The whole stay was also perfectly organised, in a very pleasant ambience. Sally kept asking about my needs and I didn't have to worry about anything myself. Especially when you have a busy everyday life, this was of great value. All in all I can only recommend yoga with Sally, it was a great experience.

An amazing trip that completely surpassed all expectations!

As a solo female traveller, I wanted to feel absolutely confident that I would be safe and able to enjoy Marrakesh and all it has to offer.

Before the holiday even started, Sally was contacting me via email and WhatsApp with tips for travelling, ideas and links for day trips and asking me about food preferences etc. As it turned out, I was the only one booked in for the dates chosen which turned out to be a huge benefit! I was the only resident at the riad therefore received 1-1 service at the venue and a tailor made yoga getaway from Sally herself. She was the perfect host, guide, teacher and became a friend during my stay. She showed me the wonderful sights, sounds and smells of the old town and helped me book trips with ease and confidence. As there is no data package for Morocco from UK phone providers, I had to rely on WIFI which was very reliable but on the occasion that an excursion host needed my number, Sally offered to use her number in case of emergencies. She also fit around my daily schedule with the yoga sessions; something that wouldn’t have been possible with a group booking. When I asked her if other people could’ve booked and joined in halfway through my stay, Sally was very clear that it wouldn’t be conducive to the yoga experience for other guests to join halfway through. This was an incredible experience that I would happily book again and recommend to all!

Everything about the retreat was perfect and exceeded expectations.

Sally looked after me as I was travelling alone in Marrakech and ended up being the only person on the retreat at that time. She made sure I wanted for nothing and I felt thoroughly spoilt the entire time. The staff at La Perle Rouge Riad were friendly and attentive, and the food was wonderful. Having not been to Marrakech before I didn’t know what to expect, but it certainly didn’t think my accommodation would be as good as it was!

The yoga was brilliant. I’ve not practiced regularly for a couple of years and so Sally eased me back into it and went at my pace rather than it being a prescriptive class each day. Some days I wanted more dynamic energetic classes, and some times I wanted more held poses and breathing, and either was fine for Sally. The rooftop setting only made the experience more magical.

The riad is within the Kaspar area of the Medina, which is more peaceful and slightly easier to find than the more central areas.

I could go on and on about it but I won’t. If you’re looking for a short getaway in Marrakech and are wonderful what yoga retreat to book onto, I suggest you don’t look any further. The retreat with Sally was perfect, and if I end up coming back to the country, I will DEFINITELY be back here for more yoga with her! 🧡

Sally is a lovely and determined person who not only teaches yoga but also organises all the trips and hammam visits etc.

Loved the energising yoga in the mornings.

The Riad is in a really good location and the breakfast was rich with fresh fruits, homemade bread and pancakes, cerials, yoghurt etc.

Unlike usual Yoga retreats, this was a mix of twice daily yoga sessions, and a mix of local culture during the day and into the evening. The yoga was suitable for everyone, with Sally giving a wide range of poses, and a variety of ways to do them. A little patience with the Moroccan way of life, helps when things don't always go to plan helps. The Riad was lovely, and breakfast was amazing.

The

The Riad we stayed in had a very calm, peaceful atmosphere and was very traditional, perfect place to stay in for a yoga retreat. Enjoyed the yoga classes, Sally tailored them according to what we like to do in a yoga class so that was ideal for us. Nothing was too much trouble for her, found her really helpful and she provided us with a lot of information re where to eat, what to do etc. Marrakech is an amazing place to visit and totally recommend it. You can go shopping in the souks and then go to the Majorelle Gardens which is very beautiful and peaceful, or to the secret garden in the Medina - an oasis in the hustle and bustle!

Excellent location—Sally is kind, knowledgeable, and accommodating!

I wanted a solitary adventure in Marrakesh with a bit of yoga to center myself each morning, and got exactly that. Sally helped me explore the first day and I then I was able to explore the world as I saw fit.
