Spa & Cleansing Retreat, Nov 11-15 2011. Marrakech
Take time to relax, cleanse and rejuvenate yourself in the beautiful, mystical city of Marrakech. Experts in the fields of Reiki, Ashtanga Yoga, Chinese Medicine and Japanese Acupuncture will gather at this ancient magical place to support you through the retreat, ready to return home feeling fresh and alive.
Within the luxurious and deeply relaxing surroundings of Zamzam Riad in the heart of the Marrakech medina, we have created a dynamic retreat. Together with daily Ashtanga Yoga, Reiki attunements and Practice, Meditation and Spa with Hammam and Massage, the retreat also includes a ’Foods that Heal’ cookery course, energetically balanced live food and juices and a surprise evening dining under the stars.
Ashtanga Yoga will be taught by Aisha Barzaghi, currently the yoga specialist at Richard Branson’s Kasbah Tamadot. This yoga will help you to detox, balance your energetic pathways and breath new life into your body through asana, prana and breathwork.
Reiki Attunements and group practice with Rebecca Hutley, Reiki Master from the Usui and Tibetan lineage will support the emotional body and help bring all aspects of your being into harmony.
