8-Daagse Yoga en Breathwork Vitality Retreat in Marrakech, Marokko
A Week of Somatic Yoga, Breathwork, and Deep Rest Retreat in Morocco
Tigmi sits at the edge of a traditional Berber village, 25 minutes from Marrakech but a world away from its energy. Behind its walls, courtyards open onto courtyards, terraces catch the last of the evening light, and the pace of the day is set by the body rather than the clock. This is the setting for The Vitality Retreat: seven days of somatic yoga, breathwork, and relaxation practices designed to rebuild energy and ease tension that accumulates through daily living. Laurent Roure leads two sessions each day, with the rest of the time left open for the pools, the hammam, or an afternoon in the souks. September in Morocco is warm without being overwhelming. The evenings are long enough to sit outside after dinner and feel properly at rest.

Traditional Berber rooms and suites
Tigmi's twenty rooms are built in the traditional Berber style, with warm terracotta walls, handcrafted furnishings, and thick walls that create a genuine quiet. Every room is ensuite and equipped with air conditioning, a safe, a hairdryer, and bathrobes, with a nightly turndown service.
Many rooms have a fireplace and a private outdoor space: a garden, terrace, or courtyard where you can sit undisturbed. The Berber Suites offer additional space with a sitting room, and some feature adjoining rooms, private terraces, or a plunge pool.
Programma
May is the time when nature stirs, and life rejuvenates. It’s time for your bodies to awaken and do the same. During this themed retreat, let’s reset and indulge in essential self-care to rejuvenate your vitality and prepare for the sunny days ahead. Discover revitalising techniques for both body and mind.
During those seven days, you will explore ways to gradually rebuild energy levels, elevate and regulate the nervous system and moods, and foster a sense of bodily comfort and ease. The morning workshops and evening classes are carefully crafted to leave you feeling rested, refreshed, and clear-minded.
Day 1: Arrival
Arrive at your own pace. Check-in is from 3:30 pm. Settle into your room, explore the gardens and courtyards, and join the group for a welcome dinner on the terrace.
Day 2 to Day 7: Practice days
Each morning begins with a 2.5-hour workshop led by Laurent, combining somatic yoga, breathwork, and pranayama. The sessions are themed and build through the week, offering both practical techniques and a deeper understanding of how the body holds and releases tension.
Afternoons are free. Spend them by the pool, in the hammam, reading in a shaded courtyard, or arranging an excursion to Marrakech or the surrounding countryside.
Each evening, a 1.5-hour session focuses on deep relaxation, gentle movement, and guided breathing practices designed to settle the nervous system before sleep.
One evening during the week is kept free for rest, a visit to the village, or simply sitting outside with no agenda.
Day 8: Departure
Check-out is by 10:30 am. Transfers can be arranged to Marrakech Menara Airport.

Retreat locatie
Marrakech and the Berber countryside
Tigmi is located in the village of Tameslouht, on the outskirts of Marrakech. The city itself is 25 minutes by car, close enough for a day trip to the medina and souks, far enough that the retreat feels genuinely removed from the noise and energy of urban Morocco.
The surrounding landscape is open and warm: red earth, olive groves, and the foothills of the High Atlas visible in the distance. The Ourika Valley, about an hour away, offers terraced hillsides, Berber villages, and walking trails through a completely different landscape.
September brings comfortable warmth without the intensity of midsummer, and the evenings cool just enough to make sitting outside after dinner one of the best parts of the day.
Eten
Full board is included throughout the retreat. Meals are prepared fresh each day, drawing on Morocco's culinary heritage: vibrant salads, slow-cooked tagines, and three-course dinners served outdoors as the temperature softens in the evening. The kitchen is flexitarian, with vegetarian options always available alongside non-vegetarian dishes. Herbal teas and drinking water are provided throughout the day.

Wat er te doen is
Between sessions, Marrakech and the surrounding area offer as much or as little as you want. Within the venue, the two pools and the hammam are reason enough to stay close to Tigmi on a free afternoon. The spa team offers a full range of traditional Moroccan treatments, from hammam sessions and massages to facials and body treatments, all using natural, locally sourced products. These can be booked directly on arrival.
Marrakech itself is 25 minutes away and well worth a visit, ideally with a local guide who can help you navigate the medina and find the parts of the city that reward slowing down. The souks are extraordinary, and the food scene has grown considerably in recent years without losing its roots.
The Ourika Valley, about an hour from Tigmi, offers a complete change of landscape: Berber villages, terraced hillsides, and the foothills of the High Atlas. It makes for an excellent half-day excursion.
A visit to a local artisan workshop is also easily arranged and gives a different window into Moroccan craft and culture, from ceramics and leather to textiles and metalwork.

- Guided tour of the Marrakech medina and souks
