Where the yoga happens
On the rooftop deck of the house, which faces the Atlantic. Sessions run at the end of the surf day, as the sun goes down, so you finish in the last of the light with the point break below you. Yoga mats are provided and live up there, so you don’t need to travel with one.
Marie, one of our ISA-certified surf coaches and a Hatha yoga teacher with a 200-hour Yoga Alliance certification, teaches it. She also runs the beginner surf lessons, so the evening session is built around what she has just watched your body struggle with in the water rather than a generic sequence. It is a slow, surfer-focused practice, and every posture comes with a simpler variation. She was a nervous beginner in the water herself ten years ago, so she remembers what that first week feels like. Read more about the people who run the house, or see the rooftop deck and the rooms.
A day at the retreat.
The surf decides the shape of the day. The yoga is the fixed point at the end of it.
- Early
Swell check and breakfast
The coaches read the swell chart over coffee and pick the break that suits the day and your level. Then breakfast at the house.
- Morning
Morning surf
A coached session in groups of six at whichever break the morning points to; the break guide covers every spot we use and why. Board and wetsuit are included.
- Midday
Lunch at the beach
Packed and eaten on the sand, so nobody has to head back to the house between sessions.
- Afternoon
Coached session, then free time
After lunch, a second coached session, then free time to practise what you have just learned. Taghazout is small enough to walk end to end in about fifteen minutes, and the deck is a reasonable place to do nothing.
- Sunset
Yoga on the roof, then dinner
A slow, surfer-focused practice on the rooftop deck as the sun goes down, undoing the day’s paddling. Dinner together after dark.
Why yoga, and why it’s included in the price.
Plenty of surf and yoga retreats in Morocco are yoga retreats that happen to be near the sea. This one runs the other way round. You are here to surf: coached sessions matched to the swell and your level, at whichever break suits the morning. The yoga exists because a week of that is genuinely hard on a body that spends the rest of the year at a desk.
Paddling is a repetitive shoulder movement performed lying face down with the neck extended. Six days of it tightens the chest, shortens the hip flexors and leaves the thoracic spine stiff. Sessions are built around undoing exactly that, which is the difference between still catching waves on day five and sitting on the beach with a sore back.
Daily yoga is included in every package (Solo, For Two and Group & Family), along with full board, board and wetsuit, and airport transfers. What every package includes
Yoga questions, answered plainly.
Included in every package at no extra cost. There is no yoga add-on to buy and no per-class fee.
No. Sessions are taught for surfers rather than for experienced yogis, and most guests arrive never having done any yoga. Every posture is offered with a simpler variation.
You can. The week is built around surfing, but nothing is compulsory. Some guests sit out a session and use the rooftop deck instead. If you don’t plan to surf at all, message us and we will price your stay.
No. Yoga mats are provided and kept on the rooftop deck. Message us if you’d rather practise on your own mat and we’ll make space for it.
One every day, at the end of the surf day. Nobody counts: you join the sessions you want and skip the ones you don’t, and the price is the same.
A surf camp with daily yoga built in. The days are organised around the swell and the coaching, and the yoga is there to undo the paddling. If you want six hours of yoga a day, this is not it.
October to April for the most consistent swell, though the water stays between 17.5°C and 21°C all year and we run every week. See the Taghazout surf guide for seasons, flights and what to pack.
Any stay from three nights, daily yoga, and a point break down the road.
