    Description


    FREE YOUR SENSES

    Join Rachael of Welford Wellbeing (Sound and energy expert) and Luna Anderson (Yoga expert) in Morocco for a journey to reignite your senses, find your balance and reconnect to your inner self. Luna and I believe that in order to survive in the modern world, we’ve had to dull our senses. It’s hard to tune into the subtle energies. And that little voice inside. When it’s blurred out by sirens, flashing lights and never-ending to-do lists. If your stress can’t be contained. You should join us in Morocco to reignite your senses and get that new lease of life you've been dreaming of.

    YOGA

    Each morning we will awake with an optional 30-minute meditation, followed by a 90-minute vinyasa flow yoga practice. The morning sessions will offer a more 'dynamic' practice. A chance to detoxify our bodies and our minds. 

    Our second daily practice in the evening will be Yin. A deeply introverted practice that works with the fascial tissues of the body and the subtle body respectfully, helping us to create a very nurturing and calming environment for the evening ahead.

    SOUND HEALING

    Luna and I have become dear friends having met through mutual friends at events (and Springtime picnics in London Fields!). I'm thrilled to join you in Morocco to guide you through my unique sound healing experiences. 

    Sound has been used for thousands of years for therapeutic purposes. When you're exposed to therapeutic sound, all the cells in the body begin to resonate, stimulating the vagus nerve (which runs from your brain stem to your abdomen). Your vagus nerve kick starts your bodies relaxation response, helps prevent inflammation in the body and can slow your heart rate.

    Therapeutic sounds have been shown to inhibit the stress or pain response as well as having a positive effect on your heart and respiratory rates. They entrain the brain to theta brain wave frequencies where visualisation and the creative power of your mind starts.

    As you relax deeper you may find you enter a trance-like state, or are able to access different levels of consciousness not explored before.

Morocco truly is a magical place that I am sure you will fall in love with.

    Yoga is all inclusive and so too should this retreat be, which is why we have offered different price ranges and different availability for rooms. It is our wish to create a nurturing space with an open and friendly environment. If you are coming alone and wish to be placed in the triple room or sharing with another, this is a great way to make a companion for your trip.
