About Ali Futrill
Ali brings a positive, supportive energy to my classes; they are energetic but accessible, allowing you to become more aware of your body and breath through your practice. Her teaching style is energising but relaxed, fun and aimed to let you leave the everyday stresses behind. To empower you to try new things, to have some fun on your mat, and to just breathe!
“I love the way yoga has been a constant, steering me through life’s ups and down. A friend once described her yoga mat as a magic carpet and I totally get that now. My mat has seen all my emotions, the good, the bad, the ugly and never judges. It’s my safe place.
ACCOMMODATION
Rooms are arranged in a tastefully designed and fully staffed complex of villas, garden suite and eco suites, designed for you to be as private or as social as you wish. The villas have plunge pools and there are abundant terraces and gardens to relax outdoors. The eco villa suites are constructed from empty plastic bottles filled with sand and over 500 empty wine bottles have been used as bathroom windows. The floors are covered in varnished, recycled brown paper bags.
MEALS
All meals are included in the price. Locally sourced, fresh, home-made Moroccan food is served at breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea and dinner. Dishes are vegetarian with vegan options on request. A typical breakfast, for example, might consist of freshly-squeezed orange or fruit juices, fresh tea and coffee, bread with home-made jams, Moroccan pastries, fresh fruit salad and local eggs. Traditional yoghurt and muffins are also homemade. Typical Moroccan dishes served at dinner might include vegetable tagine, stuffed aubergines and falafels. If you would like a Moroccan cookery lesson, Bouchera, the Moroccan chef, is available for lessons.
Tea, coffee and still water are included; alcohol, soft drinks and cocktails are available to purchase.

Check Out Time
Before midday Tuesday 26 September
Arrangements may be made for a later check out if the room has a late arrival. You are not charged for late check outs. In any event your hosts will be pleased to look after you and your baggage until you are ready to leave for the airport.
The retreat includes accommodation, yoga and meditation sessions and all meals including dinner on arrival and breakfast on the day of departure.
All classes will be mixed level, so we will make sure you get the attention and support you need.
You will always learn something, especially if you have been self-practicing. Our teachers are of very high standard and will give you the personal attention you need. There will be plenty of variations on offer for you to really challenge yourself and explore new dimensions to your practice.
You are perfectly welcome to stay with your partner, family member or friend who is practising yoga with us without joining the classes, or choosing just to do the relaxing and mindfulness ones.
The Dirham is not allowed to be taken out of the country in amounts larger than 1,000 dhms, consequently it cannot be purchased before travelling. Moroccan dirhams are sometimes available in other countries (UK/US /Europe etc) but you will not get a good exchange rate, and so it is best to use an ATM at the airport, or wait until you go into town.
A bureau de change is available at Marrakech airport and there are ATM machines both at the airport and in the city. Scottish notes are not accepted in banks in Morocco and many banks are uncomfortable about accepting travellers cheques.
£1 sterling is approximately 12 Moroccan Dirhams.
There are no necessary vaccinations for travelling to this part of Morocco. https://travelhealthpro.org.uk/country/154/morocco
