Everything was perfect. Great yoga, massage, food, accommodation and really, really nice people. Stef is an amazing person and teacher. Claude is great as is his charming Riad in the Medina. I recommend taking the cycling tour around town with Pikala and a visit to Majorelles Gardens / YSL museum in the hours inbetween yoga classes and dinners.

The best thing about the retreat was the amazing Stef and her yoga retreat. If I could give her more than 5 stars I would. She is the most amazing lady and an exceptional yoga teacher. I can’t wait for the next one.

Amazing experience and warm welcome every day with great yoga practice and delicious food. Lovely massage which I needed the most. Thank you for this incredible experience. Love from Krisztina 🙏🏼

This experience was incredible, the lodging and the studio (which is gorgeous) are right in the heart of the Medina in Marrakech - amazing energy! The partner Riad was perfect and very accommodating very a couple extra days stay! The classes were taught amazingly and the food was delicious. I'll will definitely be back !

Our fist yoga retreat and it won't be our last. Stef was amazing great yoga sessions and hospitality. Accommodation was perfect so quiet in such a vibrant city. Claude was a wonderful host .From our pick up at the airport to us having to go home it we couldn't of asked for anything more.

Les cours et les brunch chez Steph! Exquis et ultra sains! Parole de nutritionniste 😍

Stef was more than accommodating, a fabulous teacher, and infinitely warm host. The Dar Attajmil was truly wonderful!! Nothing was too much trouble, the rooms were clean and the staff were the best ever, especially Aziz and Brahim. We will be back. Thank you.

Stef exceeded all our expectations. The yoga classes were great for a beginner and more advanced level. She offered at least three different classes that were perfect for a rejuvinating vacation in Marrakech: eveil energy, flow and SoundMoves The studio is a beautiful oasis in the hustle and bustle of the city and the vegan brunches were oh so flavorful and nutritious. We are already planning our next trip from Iceland to Stef.

Des superbes moments d’échanges, de yoga dans un lieu magnifique. Ajoutez à cela l’accueil chaleureux de Stéphanie et vous avez un séjour top!

Merci beaucoup 🙏🏻❤️

I loved the ambience,the different variations of yoga,Stef is so amazingly good at what she oes,I elt it was well tailored to my concerns and the massage and sound bathvwas exeptional.I hope to visit Stef and this wonderful studio again.

Stef is a great instructor with a special vibe and warm heart.

She welcomes people with morocan tea with comfortable ice breaking conversation.

In her beautiful place, with all nature perfume from her trees, we did the meditable yoga every day and night. The venue ( her place) is just magical that makes everything dreamy.

Her voice "be here, be now" gives everything released out.

The riad she organized serves the best service like home. Both the riad and her place are very close to Market, bacha coffee and all tourist spots that I could maximize my time in free time.

Lastly, her homemade vegetarian brunch.. ohlala it is so fresh with top ingredients and very generous variety of food different every day!

It was my first Morocco trip, and start the day and finish the day with Stef was one of my best choice in this trip.

Thank YOU Stef and see you soon again!!

Bisous!!

The way how to practice - the area - the practice - the people - everything - merci bocour Stephanie

I just came back from the 4 day yoga trip where I did two classes a day at Stef's studio, brunch every day and a stay at a riad down the road.

I had a fantastic and very relaxing time. I went as a solo female traveler looking for a few days out from day to day life in London. This was the perfect getaway, not too long and in the city so I could easily explore the different gardens and markets between classes.

Stef's studio is a beautiful paradise, and she is so welcoming with tea and water before and after the classes so there's time to socialize with her regulars around the class. The yoga itself was a nice mix of flow and more restorative classes which was perfect for what I needed. I'd say if you're looking for something challenging and dynamic that it's worth speaking to Stef about tailoring them. The classes were also a good length, about hour and 15 mins so you can really slowly build into faster sequences.

The food at Stef's studio was incredible. The tastiest vegan food I've had for a long time and so many small plates! I also have a nut allergy and they were very good at keeping to it. I had a massage on my last full day and I was so relaxed for the rest of the day, it was a perfect morning. Generally Stef was so helpful about my trip.

The accomodation is a riad down the road. The service, rooms and food were also excellent. I slept so well. There isn't a pool there but sometimes they can give you access to one I think. They've got a nice roof terrace too.

Food was delicious, Stef was delightful, warm and welcoming,

We joined in with 5 yoga classes with the wonderful Steph at her Dar Anis Yoga Studio, a calm beautiful setting. We were given a large selection of vegan brunches after morning yoga inspiring us to try some of the recipes at home. We learnt new techniques for breathing to music with movement which we found super relaxing. Steph helped us with advice on sightseeing and organized a gorgeous raid for us to stay in 5 mins away from the studio. What a lovely welcoming person she is, thank you we would love to visit again.

Mon séjour à Marrakech n’aurait pas été le même sans la bulle de bienveillance qu’a créé Stef dans son sublime studio de Yoga.

En plus d’une pratique très connectée et qui s’est parfaitement adaptée à mon niveau, Stef a pu me donner de précieux conseils pour découvrir la ville et ses richesses culturelles. Merci pour cette rencontre ce fut de précieux moments passés ensemble.

Stef’s vibes are incredible, as her classes. I found interesting, helpful and very heterogeneous all the classes that I did. The location is fantastic and there is a good balance, from every point of view (type of classes, frequency, massages, etc). I had the chance to meet awesome people and have little Moroccan tea before and after class with them and Stef was a privilege for me. To be honest, everything was behind my expectations.

Alles!

Perfect retreat for getting away from stressful everyday life. The Yoga studio is even more beautiful than in the pictures. The food (only local products) is so good. Stef is amazing and takes her time to offer her students the best experience. I also enjoyed the free afternoons to discover the Medina of Marrakech, only to come back to the calming Yoga studio in the afternoon. 10/10! :)

Great yoga. Fresh and tasty food. Stef was a fantastic host. Fast replys if help or tips was needed and amazing energy. Overall great balance between yoga and free time and fun and serious. Good location and nice studio. Accomodation in nearby Riad Anjar was superb. 10/10 Recommend.

Stefanie had a warm welcoming manor and great directions during class.

Der ganze Aufenthalt war super. Ich habe mich von Anfang an wohlgefühl und das Essen war sehr gut.Definitiv weiter zu empfehlen.

Que ce soit avant ou pendant votre séjour, Stef et Philippe sont parfaits.

Disponibles pour répondre aux questions avant l'arrivée, ils sont soucieux de nôtre bien-être, et de ce que l'on attend de cette retraite de Yoga.

Tout est organisé dans les moindres détails. Laissez-vous porter et profiter de cette experience unique et très enrichissante.

Les cours de Yoga sont variés, et Stef s'adapte à vos besoins et envies.

Le Brunch est un véritable régale, sain, équilibré et en quantité généreuse.

Le Riad Anjar, est un très beau Riad qui vous proposera le soir une cuisine savoureuse et encore une fois généreuse.

Si vous cherchez une bonne petite adresse à proximité du centre de yoga, pour y déguster des plats typiques, n'hésitez pas à aller Chez Yassine :) (Merci Stef, pour cette belle recommandation).

Bref c'était mon premier voyage seule, et je me suis sentie apaisée et accompagnée dance cette démarche.

Je vous recommande à 10 000% cette experience.

Merci pour votre accueil, votre bienveillance... et à très vite :)

Oh dear, where to begin.

So we booked a 4 day Yoga retreat. Stef was greeting us shortly after arrival. The yoga lessons received were diversified and lots of fun - calming and challenging.

The brunch offered after yoga in her Dar was made with lots of love and was absolutely delish! Beside that there were more than enough options.

We stayed in Riad Dixneuf Laksour which was clean, the staff was very helpful and the food we received there was good too.

Stef updated us shortly after the booking with a detailed plan of our retreat. During our stay she always took time for us for a little chat, gave us recommendations for sightseeing spots and also helped us finding a place to stay in Fes after the retreat.

We appreciated the stay a lot and even more Stef with her positive, genuine and always helpful attitude. Therefore, we can highly recommend this retreat to everybody and for sure do so to our friends. We will return very soon for sure.

Best regards,

Danny & Lianna

Stefanie is an incredible yoga facilitator, with great energy, excellent and varied sessions. The yoga studio was also incredibly perfect, seeing the blue sky ,

This retreat was an absolute bliss.

The combination of blissful sanctuary operated by Stef and Phillippe in the heart of Magical Marakesch, along with the subliminal experience at the Riad - Dar Disnuixf (19) operated by Miguel.

The Retreat:

- Flexibility of Stef was much appreciated. I had to check out on the morning of day 4, and she kindly accommodated me for a welcome yoga on the Riad's terrace

- The quality of yoga itself, was balanced and very restorative

- The food at the yoga shala was AMAZING and plentiful. The best healthy vegan food I've tried in a long time and was coupled with the warm hospitality of the hosts Stef and Philippe (and Moosh the cat)!

This retreat was just the antidote I needed for a quick & refreshing escape before the busy holiday season starts in N Hemisphere with a vengance.

Riad Dar Disneuixf (operated by Miguel)

Everything about this place was flawless. From charming interiors to very warm & friendly hospitality of the staff. The food was OUT OF THIS WORLD! Ibtsams' Moroccan Eggs and their head chefs' Tagines will be for long etched in my pallette and I will return to this Riad for these delicious flavours! Add to that the friendly and can-do service from Isam and Mustafa - nothing was ever a problem and they took personal attention in our safety and care with warmest smiles.

If you're friends with right people here, you might also score a VIP bike ride of the Medina with the uber friendly & hospitable Riad owner! Can't wait to return....

It was exactly what i needed. Dar Arnis studio is a peaceful place, stunning, relaxing and welcoming. Stephanie is an amazing teacher, adapting lessons to your needs and mood in an paradise like setting! I could even became vegan with the delicious brunches she was making for us. The bowl healing were an fabulous experience! If you need to relax, don’t hesitate and book this retreat, you will not regret it! Merci Stef!

We ( I was travelling with a friend) did the ‘luxury escape’ ( yoga at Dar Anis with Stef and lodging at Riad l’Orageraie) and we’re extremely satisfied . The yoga classes structured our stay in Marrakesh ( free afternoons to wander around and we added an extra night to have more time to explore), and allowed us to meet locals and expats . Stef is an excellent yoga teacher who has an in depth knowledge of her field and is able to adapt to your needs and abilities . Her studio is welcoming and peaceful. The riad she partners with is top, right in the Medina, with a wonderful staff that was able to help us coordinate other activities and the rest of our stay in Morocco . I highly recommend .

I liked the yoga teacher a lot. She was very experienced and next to that also very relaxed. I could also ask her all my questions about my stay, tips, environment, taxi’s, COVID test and so on.

The environment, the stay and the program is more than I could have expected.

Très belle retraite de yoga avec Stéphanie qui propose des cours variés et complets, avec en prime un massage pour une parfaite détente. Le studio est charmant avec le riad juste en face ce qui est très pratique !

Une vraie parenthèse enchantée !

Nous avons aimé l’accueil simple et chaleureux, le cadre paisible du patio et nous laisser guider par Stef dans une pratique de yoga variée et toute en fluidité.

On s’est régalés des brunchs végétariens pris dans le patio en famille.

Le Riad juste à côté était très bien, le personnel aux petits soins et la cuisine généreuse et authentique. Que du plaisir!

Clean and comfortable accommodations with a wonderful Riad staff

Wonderful excursions everyday

Engaging yoga classes

Immersive program that made you feel a part of the Marrakech culture

Vous pratiquerez le yoga dans un environnement ressourçant et pleins de belles energies. Prof à l'écoute / qui sait s'adapter et faire progresser.

Les débutants n'ayez pas peur.

Brunchs proposés avec des produits sains locaux et super gourmands ( on est reparti avec plein d'idées)

je recommande :)

TOUT était parfait !

Stéphanie, adorable, a été immédiatement à l'écoute de ce que j'étais venue chercher avec cette retraite. Elle adapte ses cours et prend le temps d'échanger, un vrai bonheur. Le lieu est si apaisant, le Riad Magellan comme une superbe maison et toute l'équipe aux petits soins... une parenthèse de bonheur que je renouvellerai très bientot !

Ich wurde am Flughafen abgeholt und habe mich von Anfang an sicher und wohl gefühlt. Das Essen war ausserordentlich lecker und typisch marokkanisch was mir sehr gefiel.Das Personal war überaus freundlich und ich wurde sehr verwöhnt :) Yoga und alles in einem war super und ich würde es jederzeit wieder machen.

I loved both places : the Riad where we sleep and Daranis yoga studio, both very centrals.

The Riad people are very nice and available.

The yoga studio is quite and beautiful, perfect for a break from the busy medina around. Everyone is nice and cool. The yoga lessons are diversified.

The food is completely vegan !

Absolutely amazing experience.... firstly Marrakech is an incredible city, vibrant and intoxicating. Riad Magellan is both beautiful and comfortable , fantastic location and the staff are lovely. The yoga studio is amazing, great space , tranquil to the bustle of the city outside. Yoga in the sunshine with clear blue skies. The food , particularly the brunch, was absolutely brilliant. Stephanie is a master of her craft , a superb teacher . She is and her team are delightful . A brilliant retreat . Will definitely be going back

the package

Our transfer from Marrakech Airport to Riad Magellan went smoothly; the staff at the Riad were very friendly and welcoming; on arrival, the manager Vincent gave us a good introduction of the area and lots of tips for wandering around the Medina, recommendations for places to visit or have a drink, what to expect during our stay, as well as providing us with a detailed programme for meals, yoga classes and other activities which was very helpful. We requested vegan meals for the duration of our stay, and the lovely cooks prepared some very delicious and varied meals for us. The dining table was beautifully laid with rose petals. The yoga classes took place in a yoga studio nearby rather than in the Riad, which when we made the booking we didn't realise, but actually was a much better venue than the Riad. The February weather was amazing and the yoga classes were held in the courtyard surrounded by lemon trees, bougainvillea and jasmine. Stephanie's classes were fun and varied, and were suitable for all levels whether beginners or advanced. When not out and about, we could relax in a hammock or sunbathe on the roof terrace of the Riad.

De riad is a very relaxed small place in the middle of the medina. People are very friendly.

The food (especially dinner) was really good! During dinner there was a nice fire in the fireplace and it looked amazing.

The yoga studio is beautiful. The lessons were nice and good to follow for people with little experience with yoga.

The yoga studio is a 10 minute walk from the riad. This I did not know before booking, so that surprised me. I understood that the studio is new, so that explained it.

The manager speaks English very well and is helpful. Unfortunately he is not in the riad all the time. The rest of the staff hardly speaks any English so than it is hard to communicate.

The rooms are nice and the rain shower is amazing (orange room).

Love the rooftop where you can relax in the shade or sun.

The Yoga lessons were well performed always adjusted in/out upon the weather conditions - The Yoga instructor is a very genuine and has a soft voice which guides you smoothly through the asanas- drinks are served before and after yoga session - Very charming courtyard

Lovely staff and gentle normally- Nice Terrace

PAY ATTENTION - pictures posted are for most are the ones of the yoga courtyard not the Riad.

The Riad Magellan was a very beautiful and comfortable accommodation. The food they prepared there was every time very delicious. I also booked a massage at the riad, which was really good and I would recommend doing that. I had two different yoga teachers during the 4 days, and both were very professional and friendly. I liked the open and friendly atmosphere at the yoga studio. Everything at the yoga studio and at riad is a delight for the eye as well, the spaces are thoughtfully decorated.

Le séjour était tel que je l’avais imaginé,

La communication avec les organisateurs est très bonne et chaque jour peut être adapté selon les envies de chacun

Yoga classes, yoga place and breakfasts served there were all perfect, super enjoyable and delicious. Steph - who runs yoga studio - does really live yoga and provides very professional yoga experience including meditation and different yoga styles. Tea is served before classes and perfect breakfast after the morning one.

Les cours de yoga avec Stef. Doux ou plus toniques. Sa douceur et son ouverture à l'autre

Les brunchs healthy mais copieux

L'emplacement du riad au cœur de la médina

Le repos au riad au coin du feu ou sur le roof top

Merci à Philippe et Stef

Merci de m avoir permise Philippe de rester une nuit de plus

Merci à stef pour ces cours sa générosité bienveillance un moment hors du temps à soi tout était parfait les repas les riads le studio magnifique energie du calme sérénité le personnel aux petits soins

Du pur bonheur merci j en suis heureuse

Both the yoga centre and Riad accommodation were perfect. I was travelling alone and this was my first time on a yoga holiday. The balance between yoga and free time was perfect for me and the staff and yoga instructors couldn't have been more welcoming and attentive, while at the same time not being intrusive. The food was excellent.

Avant de faire ma réservation, j ai eu pas mal de contacts avec Philippe - très disponible et flexible. Il m a concocté un programme personnalisé en fonction de mes vols. -

Très bonne prise en charge. Sur place on rencontre directement la personne qui est notre contact principal. Il organise tout pour vous. -

On paie une fois. Pas besoin de payer le yoga par ci, les repas par la, le riad etc... tout est centralisé. Une fois de plus, tout est organisé pour vous faciliter la vie. -

Le service est très attentionné. Tout est organisé selon vos horaires, nettoyage de chambres, on quitte la chambre en fonction de l horaire de notre vol, le massage c est quand on le sent, tout est vraiment là pour vous faciliter la vie, aucune source de stress ou d angoisse, tout roule... -

Les Riads sont bien situés, pas dans les souks mais juste à côté, dans la Médina, du coup on peut tout faire à pied et bien que le premier jour on soit très agressé par l énergie de la ville, on prend rapidement le rythme. -

Marrakech est une destination selfcare par excellence, toit terrasses très verts, hamam/spa à chaque coin de rue, il y a des coopératives d artisans ou les prix des produits sont fixés donc pas besoin de marchander...-

Le centre de yoga est vraiment une oasis de paix et de sérénité. Chaque cours est précédé d une boisson fraîche avec fruits secs et après chaque session on vous offre du thé.

I loved the cosiness and authenticity of the Riyadh. Also the yoga studio where we practiced yoga, with the sounds of birds singing and the morning and evening sun. Steph programmed the practice around the ability of the participants. Great way to meet new people of different nationalities too.

Fijn Riad op perfecte lokatie in het prachtige Marrakech. Genoten van de dynamiek van de stad, van de mensen, van de heerlijke yoga lessen van Jonas Daniela en Malika. Superlekker vega eten.

le yoga 2x par jour avec assez de temps entre 2 pour visiter la ville

The riad I stayed at (Riad Majala) was conveniently located in the centre of the medina, with the souks nearby and a short walk away from the yoga studio. The riad is peaceful and my room was comfortable. Also a special shoutout to the staff at the riad who were lovely.

We practised a variety of styles of yoga over the 3 days (vinyasa, yin, hatha). I particularly enjoyed practising outside in the courtyard (despite it being quite chilly in the morning !), and really enjoyed the vegetarian brunch and snacks before and after each class.

Riad Majala ist sehr schön gestaltet, ruhig gelegen und hat superfreundliche Mitarbeiter. Kurze Fusswege zum Yoga und zur Mitte der Medina. Im Riad gibt es frisches gutes Essen - der vegane Brunch im Yogastudio war exzellent. Dank des hervorragenden Wetters konnten wir meist im Innenhof des Studios Yoga machen, was zusätzlich zu Stephanies positiver aufmerksamer Energie eine zauberhafte Atmosphäre geschaffen hat. Ich habe einen wunderbaren variantenreichen Querschnitt durch die Welt des Yoga genossen und bin super entspannt und energiegeladen wieder zu Hause eingetroffen.

Philippe hat mich gleich zu Beginn gut gebrieft - er und alle anderen helfen gerne weiter. Merci et a la prochaine!

Steph & Philippe could not have been nicer.

The Yoga studio is an Oasis of calm just off the busy street and the Riad couldn’t have been any closer.. Everyone was welcoming and I really enjoyed my stay.

Le riad était magnifique, la chambre très propre, ainsi que la salle de bain privative. Plus: pas de télévision donc un calme très agréable.

Le toit du riad était superbement aménagé, avec un coin de lecture à l'ombre très appréciable.

le riad dispose également d'un hamac dans lequel il est agréable de lire au clair de lune dans le patio.

le service était au top et très souriant! Chaque soir, le repas était servi sur une table superbement décorée.

les cours de yoga étaient parfaitement adaptés à mon niveau et les professeurs étaient bienveillants et très professionnels. Je me suis sentie accueillie et soutenue dans ma pratique.

I had lessons from 3 different, experienced Yoga teachers which is nice because you can experience different styles. The Yoga studio is lovely. It‘s decorated very nicely and the equipment is in good shape. I can highly recommend the brunch!:)

I had a really relaxing weekend in Marrakesh. Accommodation was really beautiful and the staff were really attentive and friendly. The yoga was great and challenged me beyond my normal practice. I had a great time, thanks for having me!

Un séjour inoubliable organisé par Stef et Philippe. Les cours de yoga dispensés sont de haute qualité, dans un cadre calme et d'un charme fou entouré de jasmin et de bougainvilliers. Les dîners, brunchs et collations sont excellents, avec du choix et des petites attentions. Merci à Redouane et Hind pour leur bienveillance et leur accueil. Cette retraite est à recommander sans hésiter pour déconnecter et visiter Marrakech. On y apprend beaucoup ! À très vite

Desde el primer momento te sientes en una atmósfera de acogida y como en familia.El trato me pareció en todo momento impecable.

El servicio y la comida excelentes y por supuesto Stephanie es delicada,amable y eficaz en su instrucción.

Es para repetir,sin duda.

Déjà, une communication parfaite les jours d'avant avec Philippe, ça nous rassure lorsque l'on ne connait pas Marrakech ! Adil est aussi joignable à tout moment pour la moindre question ou si on se perd un peu dans la ville.

Le trajet aéroport-riad est pris en charge, on n'a qu'à se laisser porter.

J'ai particulièrement apprécié le riad, en plein cœur de la Médina, où règne un calme étonnant, on n'y entend que les petits oiseaux depuis le patio et la terrasse. C'est très propre, bien décoré, pas trop chargé, et le peu de chambres proposés permet de se sentir comme à la maison. Le programme est très bien fait, les cours le matin et en fin d'après-midi, et beaucoup de temps libre entre 10h30 et 16h pour pouvoir visiter toutes les merveilles de Marrakech. Gros coup de cœur pour les cours qui ont été adaptés, je suis repartie avec plus de confiance et plein de petits tips à utiliser dans ma pratique quotidienne une fois rentrée chez moi. En dernier lieu, le personnel est incroyable...j'ai rarement vu autant de générosité et de bienveillance, tout le monde est aux petits soins, avec le sourire. Mention spéciale pour les repas qui étaient plein de saveurs (même si très copieux le soir !). Pour ceux qui veulent faire la retraite en solo comme moi mais craignent de se retrouver en tête à tête avec soi-même : on s'y sent bien, on se repose, et les repas du soir sont accompagnés d'une petite musique et d'une déco pour que vous vous sentiez bien.

J'espère bien y revenir !

Mon séjour en mode solo s’est extrêmement bien passé. L’équilibre entre les cours de yoga et le temps libre était parfait. Riad Magellan est super bien situé. En plein cœur de la Médina et d’un calme olympien pour se ressourcer. Les aménagements sont confortables et décorés avec goût, du patio jusqu’à la terrasse sur le toit. Cette dernière est top pour se réveiller avec le soleil. Mon manque de nature a été comblé par la journée piscine dans ce petit coin de paradis au milieu des oliviers.

Ce séjour n’aurait jamais été aussi agréable sans la gentillesse et l’hospitalité du personnel. Je pense notamment :

- Au manager Adil qui m’a très bien accueilli et qui m’a très bien communiqué les informations à connaître lorsqu’on arrive dans une ville que l’on ne connait pas.

- Le garçon de nuit Saïd qui m’a servit tous les repas du soir et les petits déjeuné avec un grande soin, une extrême gentillesse et un dévouement sans faille.

- Fatima la femme de chambre toujours souriante et à l’écoute des mes besoins.

- La cuisinière dont je ne me rappelle plus du prénom mais qui m’a régalé de la culture culinaire Marocaine. J’en salive encore…

- Philippe, le tenancier du Riad qui orchestre toute son équipe d’une main de maître.

- Et bien entendu, Stéf la prof de yoga qui enseigne cette discipline de manière passionnée, simple et claire. Elle a su adapté les exercices pour mon niveau de parfait débutant et lorsque les choses viennent du coeur cela se ressens tout de suite.

Namaste 🙏🏻

I had a wonderful time doing the yoga retreat with Steph. She was warm, accommodating of my non-yoginess, and has a lovely energy. The yoga studio is gorgeous, as is Riad Magellan, where the food was delicious-full flavoured and plentiful. The contrast between the meditative yoga and relaxing riad and bustle of Marrakech medina worked perfectly. Highly recommended!

This is a really special retreat. Beautiful location, delicious vegan food, great people and wonderful yoga taught by inspiring teachers. Like a home from home, I was made to feel welcome and looked after by everyone at the riad and yoga studio. Nothing was too much for all involved. I only spent 3 days in Marrakech but felt like I'd been away for weeks. Truly perfect!!

Stephanie is such a great teacher, I really enjoyed her classes. The retreat enables one to try many different styles of yoga and meditation in a beautiful studio and friendly atmosphere. The staff in Riad Magellan is helpful and flexible and I felt welcome.

Excellent yoga classes with Stephanie in a serene location! The team in the Riad and Yoga Center were wonderful, helpful, warm and fun. Delicious brunch in the morning and vegetarian food for dinner. This is the ideal weekend trip to recharge and enjoy a special city and yoga with a very accomplished instructor. Revitalization and relaxation with a little shopping and a fun cooking class as well. Thanks to everyone.

Les repas pris dans le calme avec un service plein d’attentions au Riad comme au studio de yoga

Although we were taken to a different Riad than we booked, it was beautiful and very central. The transfer worked well and was very efficient. The staff at the Riad could not be more helpful and the food excellent. We loved our stay in Marrakesh - even though my 'phone was stolen on the last night - take care in the main square!

Marrakech is the kind of experience that nobody should miss. It’s full of colours, aromas, flavours, and lovely people. When you begin your day with Stephanie’s yoga class, your body and mind are open to experiencing every moment to its fullest potential and making such beautiful memories. Thank you, Stephanie! I also need to say “thank you” to Philipe for organising everything so perfectly and of course to the amazing, polite people, who work in the Riad. Do yourself a favour/gift and join this yoga retreat program! It’s such a wonderful experience!

Un stage de Yoga au coeur de la Medina, dans un très beau Riad très calme, avec de merveilleux hôtes Stéphanie et Philippe, et tout le reste de l'équipe.

Du temps libre pour flâner et se perdre dans les souks de Marrakech, des moments partagés de Yoga dans une très belle énergie et la joie.

Et des cours accessible aux débutants comme aux plus expérimentés.

De plus on est amené à notre Riad depuis l'aéroport sans avoir aucun souci pour trouver le point de chute.

Juste se laisser porter par tous ses instants.

Namaste

I came with my mother for a 5 days retreat at Riad Magellan and it was a super nice experience. Everything was well thought, the food was very tasty, the riad is well located and nicely decorated, rooms are spacious and above all Stephanie is a very good yoga teacher. My mother is a yoga teacher herself so I was a little bit anxious but we learned new stuffs every day. To conclude a very relaxing and peaceful experience in the heart of Marrakesh. We enjoyed it a lot, thank you again Philippe and Stephanie.

Excellent location. Brilliant map and directions and helpfulness by Azis re getting around Médina. Very good yoga sessions with Stephanie. The tour of the city which was part of the package was also excellent and the massage was good.

The Riad was lovely with good accommodation and very friendly staff.

Quality of yoga very good . I enjoyed spending time on the roof terrace which was well maintained and perfect to relax.

The included massage treatment was excellent and I was able to book a pedicure the following day.

It felt more like staying in a general Riad with other guests but having yoga classes.

Overall I enjoyed my time here and loved going out for walks to explore.

Phillipe gave me lots of help with places to visit and directions.

I felt safe as a sole traveller.

Riad Magellan was the perfect place to relax for a few days. The staff was kind and profesional and the food was excellent.

It was my first time practising yoga and Stephanie made me feel at ease. Overall, an amazing experience in a great place that I would recommend.

The culture, yoga instructors Patricia and Ahmet both really good despite my rusty yoga 😂The lovely staff and food! Adil, Mohammed and the lovely ladies who cooked and cleaned shukran kitir! ❤️

Everything- hospitality, food, yoga instructors, location ,garden trips- the perfect short getaway

The two instructors were very different but very instructive. Staff were friendly and very hospitable. And thoroughly enjoyed the food.

The raid.. the food...

Everything was exceptional - the location in the Medina / the Riad / the staff ( helpful and courteous ) / lovely food / the organised trips and nearby facilities / the the 2 Yoga instructors ( Patricia and Atmed ) and the overall great value for money.

The yoga instructors were very good but their names were not the ones given above. Invigorating yoga in the morning and soft peaceful yoga in the evening. We had an excellent trip to the mountains with Vincent to see a Berber family in their home. We talked and had a lovely meal and an amazing hike. The Atlas mountains were beautiful and seeing how these people live, a simple life, in harmony with nature, hearding their animals, gathering fire wood and making tools from wood, was a real treat. The bed was very comfy and everything at the Riad was very clean and tidy.

As my title suggests, this was a fantastic retreat. Riad Magellan is simply wonderful, right in the heart of the medina, but still a calm mini oasis inside. Vincent, Adil and Mohameed were absolute stars, all were incredibly hospitable throughout my stay.

I cannot recommend the yoga teachers Patricia and Atmen highly enough, by far the best yoga classes I've had. Each have their own style and characters, and adapt very well to each level of student. I have learnt a lot from their classes, and feel privileged to have met such wonderful people.

This was my first ever solo trip, and although Marrakech seems a bit rough around the edges, I recommend anyone thinking of going alone to do so. It is a wonderful city, you are never truly alone in Marrakech as the locals are very inquisitive! It was daunting at first to walk around the medina, but after a couple days it got easier, and became a joy to walk and interact with many different people. Just to be sensible and do your activities in the day, use common sense as you would at home, respect local customs and wear clothing to blend in (long flowy sleeved tops and trouser). It was really helpful to have brunch & dinner at the riad, the food was made with love and extremely generous in portions. The riad itself is stunning, I miss the sound of birds in the mornings, and the gentle air on the roof terrace. I gained so much experience through this stay, please do not hesitate to book if you would like to visit Marrakech!

Riad Magellan is a beautiful riad with a very central location but never the less with a very peacefull atmosphere inside. I especially enjoyed the roof-top terrace, but all the facilities and the rooms are very charming. The space for yoga could be larger and with better (softer and more even) surfacing on the ground, but I loved doing yoga outdoors in the shade. The food was really nice and the staff very respectfull and attentative.

The yoga was perfect for me, seeing as I was the only student everything could be adapted to my needs. I had two different teachers, with very different styles, but I thoroughly enjoyed them both.

I was the only guest on my retreat and found both instructors, Patricia and Atmen, friendly and responsive to my skill level and needs.

The riad staff were very friendly and I felt well looked after. I had so much fresh, home made food and enjoyed watching the kitchen staff prepare a meal (for a small fee). Delicious mint tea and cold water was available whenever I asked for it.

The riad itself was stylish, clean, cool and comfortable.

Atmen was my cover yogi and inspirational from my first practice to my last. Thank you Atmen. Otherwise the Riad is beautiful, the accommodation excellent and the location great for pottering around the Médina.

C’était vraiment un séjour pour l’amener dans le cœur. Le personnel du Riad fait son travail avec amour et dévotion.

Atmen c’est un prof très spécial, très sage dans son métier , prêt à partager , à apprendre et entendre, très touchant, émouvant ..on pouvait sentir la compassion et l’humilité .. just beautiful

Et la fille des matinées c’était ravissant, énergétique. Elle savait bien comme réveiller nos corps avec douceur en les remplissant d’énergie.

Merci bien .

it was a beautiful stay. Indeed, Atmen and the staff were the jewel of the Riad.

I came away for a few days by myself, just to have a relax in the sunshine, and be looked after; this is certainly what I got!

The Riad was serene, silent except for the sound of the birds, beautifully clean, and everyone was warm and welcoming. So much so, you feel like part of the family!

Steph and Phillip were perfect hosts, who have a great team working with them.

Steph is a fantastic teacher, I enjoyed the Yoga more than i ever have before!

I liked Steph's teaching yoga the most during the retreat.I haven't been interested in Yin yoga but her Yin yoga class was amazing.I got to know Yin yoga is also good for my health.After Steph's class,my flexibility was improved a lot.

Steph,Phillippe and the staff were very kind and polite.

The accommodation was clean and good atmosphere.

Wow, Riad Magellan is amazing! I was overwhelmed when I first arrived. Such a beautiful calm tranquil space. Philippe was fantastic during the lead up to getting here - very friendly and prompt with email responses! Stephanie gave us a beautiful yoga practice every day #loveandrespect. Adil and the ladies in the kitchen were very friendly and welcoming. The roof terrace was an absolute treat for the hot sunny evenings. The food was amazing too - and so much of it! I highly recommend a yoga retreat here - everything was just fabulous. I was travelling on my own and felt very safe. They arranged an airport transfer for me too. Big thanks and love to Philippe and Stephanie! Just magic ;-)

Steph's Yoga was great.

Adil (Manager) looked after me brilliantly.

The rooms are spacious and cool with simple but smart decor.

Rooftop is lovely for morning yoga and evening hang out.

Food generous and delightful.

Amazing Riad with love to details, location is just perfect in the heart of the medina. Staff is extra friendly and very helpful for all questions. I loved the food but it was not very creative - veggie tajin. Yoga with Stef is just perfect. Thank you!

I liked everything about this yoga retreat but I have to say my favorite was the people . First of all ,Philippe and his wife Stephanie, who was yoga instructor, welcomed me very warm and kind and during my 5 day stay there , always went above and beyond to ensure my comfortable and safe stay . Stephanie has a nice calm demeanor , always smiling , and never forget to ask me about how my tour went or recommend a restaurant ... The riad is so beautiful , each room is decorated in traditional Moroccan style yet has a different vibe to it . The people who work at the riad are so genuinely kind and caring .

I enjoyed my stay so much , I am thinking about going back 🧡

The yoga with Steph was a highlight, with the early morning session on the terrace, both invigorating and life affirming, whilst the afternoon stretching sessions proved to be the perfect tonic after a day of haggling in the souks. Great food (I loved the post-yoga brunches), and Philippe and his team looked after us well, with great tips on what to do and where to go within Marrakech.

Das Riad Majala ist ein Traum, sauber, in zentraler, aber ruhiger Lage in Marrakesch. Das Essen jedes Mal überraschend, frisch und serviert mit einem Lächeln, was will man mehr?, Die Yogalektionen mit Stefanie waren abwechslungsreich, fordernd und in bester Lage auf der Dachterrasse ein Genuss. Wir kehren sehr erholt mit wunderbaren Eindrücken bereichert zurück. Merci pour tout!

It began when friendly driver picked us up at the airport and driving us into the Median; old town of Marrakesh. The Riad Majala is the cutest, cleanest, nieces place I've ever seen and the people there were SOOOO friendly, warm and amazingly nice!

We got a fresh lemon water every morning followed by energizing, very professional yoga classes afterwards. Brunch at 10 was a variety of food full of greatness! So yummy!!

In the afternoon we had a second class, which allowed us to visit the city in between and/ or had massages/ spa treatments, etc.

After Yoga we were treated with Kefir, fruits and nuts so that is wasn't an issue to wait until dinner time. The 3 course dinner was vegetarian and we are amazed by the quality and the way they served it - SO romantic.

All in all; it was the perfect weekend getaway and we both would recommend it 100%.

We loved just about everything except leaving! The Riad is absolutely serene and perfect in ambiance and location. The staff is incredible. Any need you have they meet and then some. The food was incredible and had more than enough to go around and then some. Yoga was a perfect blend of relaxation with some focus on technique and deepening of movements. Seriously couldn’t have imagined a better yoga weekend. Was my first one and certainly won’t be my last!

On se sent comme chez soi. Philippe et Stéphanie ont su créer une ambiance dans ce Riad très agréable. L'emplacement est aussi parfait au centre mais très préservé du bruit.

Ik vond hier rust in het Riad midden in de gezellige chaos van hartje Marrakesh. Fantastische yoga begeleiding 2x per dag, fijne plekjes om je even terug te trekken en de zeer hulpvaardige staf waardoor je je nooit alleen voelt en de stad durft te verkennen ook zonder guide.

The Riad is lovely, clean and quiet, though in the midst of the Medina, it is well managed, the owners staff are kind and helpful, including with useful tips, the food was healthy and delicious (enjoyed the cooking class), the yoga was professional and I appreciated that each was able to go at his/her own level and we were able to explore poses. It was fun to explore the Medina, and I enjoyed also all the places that were suggested to visit, including the Hammam near by.

Excellent home cooked food. Generous portions. Beautiful Riad with exquisite decor and tranquil ambience. Calm and relaxing yoga. Very restorative.

It was a very beautiful Riad, with lovely & friendly staff. The food was great. And its located perfectly central. I really enjoyed my stay. Thank you.

Ideale locatie, goede verdeling tussen toga en vrije tijd om de stad te verkennen. Lessen super toegankelijk en fantastisch hoed gegeven. Stef is een fantastische gide in the wonderfull world of yoga! Totaal zen thuisgekomen.

The Riad is a beautiful place with lots of spaces to experience – the peaceful internal courtyard has a mature bougainvillea that was playing host to a flock of birds, roof terraces where the Altlas mountains can be seen and the muezzin can be heard. It is tucked away in the Medina – you may well get lost until you get your bearings 😊 – just steps away from the hustle and bustle of the markets and main Jma el Fna square. Oh and there was a great shower in my en-suite!

I was welcomed by Adil and he and all the team are very friendly and helpful. Stef’s yoga classes exactly what I needed, and the Yoga + culture programme a great combination - I love the mix and enjoyed the cooking class and medina tour. And most of all the flexibility – it was super easy to find 3 nights that fit my schedule and I’d happily come again for some rejuvenation.

La profesora era buena ,pero las clases pocas por el precio.

Die familiäre Atmosphäre. Das rücksichtsvolle Personal. Das mit vieler Liebe und Authentizität renovierte Haus/ Riad.

From the time I arrived I was treated amazingly. The yoga was great, I was a beginner but Stefanie talked through everything. The food was delicious. The room was beautiful and the staff really friendly. Thank you to the team for such an amazing few days.

The Riad was beautiful. A little haven amid the chaos of the Medina. The staff were so friendly and very helpful, food delicious and rooms excellent. The perfect way to chill out- even for a non yogi! I cannot reccomend it enough.

We would definitely recommend to stay at riad magellan! Philippe was very helpful - Thank you so much for your hospitality ! Yoga with stephanie was great, stephanie was so skilful and had a calm, wonderful energy. Everything was just perfect!

Zen-Atmosphäre im Haus, Hilfestellung, Ruhe

Jederzeit wieder!

We booked the taxi transfer and as the Riad Magellan is in the centre of the Medina as it would have been a challenge to find by ourselves. The taxi was waiting for us on arrival (even though we were delayed) and we were transferred seamlessly to another porter who took our luggage and wheeled it through the Medina.

The Riad itself is very tastefully decorated and once inside you feel right at home in a quite relaxing space in the courtyard. On arrival we were offered mint tea and given a guide by the co-owner, Philippe. There was good wifi however we were on the ground floor and were advised in it could be glitchy in some of the rooms.

The food was prepared by the kitchen staff and was Moroccan. Given one of us didn't eat meat this took a lot of stress out of finding good restaurants. The food was delicious and fresh with a variety of starters and main courses throughout our stay. We opted for fish on the last day that was Moroccan tagine. The staff were also flexible with when they offered us meals.

Stephanie is very friendly, relaxed and her yoga echoes this. Stephanie guided us through some new Asanas with breathing exercises and it was the perfect start to the day on the roof terrace. Aisha tailed her sessions to our own individual challenges and give us tips on how to advance with the more challenging asanas especially for two beginner/intermediate yogi. Thoroughly recommend both teachers as each gave us something different.

Everything about our stay was amazing, it was a perfect environment and was made to feel very comfortable and welcome. Would recommend to anyone.

The Riad was really nice and the food amazing. The programme was a good combination of activities. The location in Marrakech was perfect for combining yoga and tourism.

Stephanie and Phillipe went out of their way to make this retreat great. And in between yoga, the Riad is in a perfect location for exploring Marrakesh.

Stephanie was amazing. The food was excellent! I came to get peace and relax and that is exactly what i got. I had a great time!

La qualité de l accueil de Stephanie et du personnel

Les cours de yoga sur mesure

La nourriture saine et variée

I enjoyed the yoga retreat very much. Everyone made me feel like a queen. The location of the riad is very good, really close to everything. The room is confy and clean, and the food is amazing, although I would suggest having less sugar in the breakfast (brunch) and the 4 pm snak").

Yoga with Stef was wonderful. She is so kind and attentive, and such a good teacher. She adapted the practice to my level with perfection. Not too much, not too easy.

Overall, I am very grateful for this retreat. I will definitely repeat when I have the chance.

Thanks, guys!

Le riad est magnifique et extremement bien situé au coeur de la medina. Stéphanie enseigne un yoga qui correspond tout à fait à ce que j'aspire (flow, respiration). L'équipe du riad est très attentionnée et disponible. Possibilité nombreuses de découvertes culturelles. Le spa Bain bleu à proximité propose de très bons soins. Une retraite que je recommande vivement!

Bonjour ,
