Learn to Unplug in Ancient Marrakech - Wellbeing Weekend; three nights from £449 pp

CHELMSFORD, U.K. - Dec. 23, 2014 - PRLog -- Wellbeing holiday specialist Satvada Retreats is making the art of managing stress and using technology mindfully a focus in its Marrakech Wellbeing Weekends in Morocco in January 30 - February 2 and 27 - 30 March (three nights, four days).

Set in a beautifully traditional riad (town-house) in the heart of the medina, yet specially selected for its tranquil location near the Royal Palace Gardens, the weekends explore yoga and mindfulness techniques that counter the growing phenomenon of being ‘tired but wired’ - where you want to switch off, but can’t, thanks to technology’s ever-encroaching presence. Suitable for all levels of yoga practitioner, the retreats include two daily 90-minute yoga classes. a morning hatha flow class and a gentler yoga and mindfulness meditation session before dinner. Also included are a restoring onsite massage and a session on finding more balance in everyday life, with practical strategies to take back home.

Food is super-fresh and vegetarian, from fresh Moroccan salads bursting with flavour to sizzling tagines and sumptuous desserts. While the emphasis is on healthy eating, the weekends also aim to be sensuous, so expect flavoursome hearty meals and delectable afternoon Moroccan pastries.

The holidays cost from £449 pp (two sharing a room) which includes all yoga sessions, three nights’ full-board, fruit, tea/coffee, afternoon cake, one extra workshop on managing stress and an onsite massage. Transfers can be arranged on request (15 euros return). Flights extra. Call 020 8133 5995 (www.Satvada-retreats.co.uk).
