🍂 A 4-Night Autumn Alignment & Yoga Retreat in Marrakesh
29th September – 3rd October 2027 | Manira Palm Villa, Marrakesh
Morocco’s stunning landscapes, vibrant culture, heritage rich in spirituality and warm climate make for a very special destination to retreat and create lasting memories. Temperatures will have cooled down, with highs of 28 and lows of 20 degrees, meaning we can practice on the outside shala and even feast outside in the evenings.
🌴 The Venue: Manira Palm Villa
The Backdrop: Wake up to breathtaking, panoramic views of the Atlas Mountains, completely wrapped in serene isolation.
The Best of Both Worlds: Enjoy complete, peaceful seclusion while being just a short, 20-minute drive from the vibrant energy of the Marrakesh Medina.

TESTIMONIALS
“Grace is one of the best yoga teachers I’ve been to! Her style of slow flow combines not only physical movement with fun challenging poses if one wishes but also the meditative side with aspects of visualisation weaved throughout. Her angelic voice is exceptionally suited to this style of teaching and she gives such lovely adjustments to help you improve. Her Ibiza retreat was expertly organised and such a beautiful combination of yoga and mindful work with fun throughout it all! I would highly recommend to everyone. It was such a nice reset and appropriate for all levels!”
“I had the best experience at Thrive in Ibiza. I didn’t really know what I was going to be doing as it was a completely new experience for me. But the only way to express how valuable and extraordinary it was, is to say that I now have a tattoo to represent my time. I was surrounded by amazing supportive women that I instantly felt like home around. Grace is such a special person and I feel so lucky to have been a part of something so magical.”
“I went on Grace’s ‘Thrive’ retreat in Ibiza in November. It was, quite simply, sensational. I can really struggle with the mindfulness, contemplative aspects of yoga, so am always looking to combine some small developments on that front with more substantial physical developments. After having two children in the past four years, I had reached a relatively useless state with my spinal flexibility and hip openness. After four days of Grace’s yoga instruction, I really felt I went home with a different spine and set of limbs. It was a perfect mixture of slow and yet intense and challenging.”
“My time on this retreat was without doubt one of the most perfect weeks away – it had everything I love and more. The yoga and the thoughtful style of teaching, the location, the food and accommodation were just wonderful. It was great to be given the time out in order to assimilate all that we were being taught and asked to reflect upon. There was a real arc to the week which was so well thought out by Grace. I really felt like I was being led on a journey of self examination but never too heavy – always with gentleness and care.
I absolutely loved the personalisation involved in the trip. Grace is such an excellent communicator – from the initial booking information, payment, logistics to the pre retreat yoga session and WhatsApp group – always the right level of detail given with love and lightness. And all the way through to the week of the retreat. Nothing too much trouble and always with a smile. Arriving in our room to find a personal note in our journal was so ‘Grace’ and really touching. And of course our beautiful gift too.
I have already booked my next retreat with Grace – quickly decided on the previous! If that’s not recommendation enough I don’t know what is.”
