Luxury two destination yoga and Atlas Mountain walking holiday, Morocco

Client Reviews

Just back from Raquel Alves retreat at Kasbah du Toubkal and Tigmi last week and I am raving about this yoga week to my friends. The combination of three nights at Toubkal followed by four nights at Tigmi is perfect. I cannot say which location I preferred, both were perfect in their own way. I am a Iyengar student so found Raquel's classes very different from what I am used to but her lessons were empowering and so varied every day I learned something new. I really appreciated the huge experience she brought to the lessons which were also so much fun. I'll be back.

Wonderful Morocco! I have just returned from a two centre Moroccan holiday. The Atlas Mountains with spectacular views and wonderful Berber hospitality. The Kasbah was a gem. Then we moved to the open plains near Marrakech. Tigmi offered a refined Moroccan experience, a lovely boutique hotel. So many lovely spaces around the hotel to relax and chill. The food in both places was terrific so important on a yoga holiday. From the rural rustic dishes in the Kasbah to the more refined Moroccan / Mediterranean influenced cooking at Tigmi.

Raquel was a truly lovely yoga teacher. Her classes were varied and always accessible to all. The fun side of her personality shone through. Knowledgeable, kind and adaptable. She bought a sense of cohesiveness to the group, listening and responding to people's practice needs and wishes.

A wonderful week in Morocco with Raquel. A spiritual calming time in the atmospheric Atlas Mountains, watching the weather. Then a luxurious and beautiful hotel near Marrakesh. The Yoga and Relaxation was brilliant. Raquel is an amazing teacher and full of encouragement both spiritually and mentally, let alone helping us with our Yoga poses. I feel I have learnt so much!

I had the most wonderful time at Tigmi. I think its safe to say that we all enjoyed our stay very much. Wonderful people who will remain good friends. Tigmi was an oasis of calm and the most beautiful setting in that little Berber village, with the Atlas mountains in view. It was such a special tranquil place, I definitely will visit again! Raquel was charming and such a brilliant teacher, full of poetry and insightful teaching, philosophical and I learnt so much about the spirit of yoga.

Thank you so much, this was my second trip with yogaonashoestring and was fantastic (again). I have to say Raquel is an amazing teacher. She helped with the intention setting which was very insightful and a great thing to do. Not only that she made the trip in to Marrakesh fantastic. She was very organised, approachable, helpful, fun, insightful and more! Words don't do the trip justice. Great setting, fabulous people, amazing venue, first class yoga teacher and unbeatable experience.

I had a great time at Tigmi, a lovely group of fellow yogins, fabulous place to stay with such attentive staff and of course the yoga was superlative. I have never met a yoga teacher so dedicated to her yoga students, Raquel went over and above what was necessary with additional classes on the day we arrived and the day we left plus all the other add ons that made the retreat so instructive and powerful.

I had a great time at Tigmi. Raquel, the teacher, is very dedicated, extremely experienced, she is willing to share as much as she can, and give an excellent class. I discovered para-yoga with pleasure and appreciated the meditation - which used to leave me undisturbed previously. The hotel is very pleasant, in a lovely setting, the food was excellent - just like my own food, plenty of fresh vegetables, the hotel team was very discrete and nice, gentle, as Moroccans always are.

Valerie

I had a wonderful time at Tigmi. The hotel was just so perfect for a yoga holiday, the accommodation great, with glorious views of the Atlas Mountains. The yoga with Raquel was of a very high standard and we were lucky to have such good teaching. I would really recommend it, and thanks to Yoga on a Shoestring for organising such a pleasant holiday in Marrakesh.

Maureen

I have returned home fantastically rested and rejuvenated after a wonderful week at beautiful Tigmi. Tigmi is a very special place, beautiful environment and such friendly and kind staff. The yoga was wonderful, with inspirational and varied classes. Particularly loved the classes held on the yoga terrace. Raquel is a gifted and inspirational teacher. We have been delighted with our experience of Yoga on a Shoestring and would certainly chose to holiday with you again.

The trip was amazing. Raquel is a fantastic and very dedicated teacher. Her classes were extremely well thought out and I know they have deepened my practice. I was very impressed with how committed she was to helping us set our intentions for the new year. She was thorough and thoughtful. She was also careful to ensure we understood the poses and took time to work with us where we needed particular guidance. I learnt a lot from her and will lookout for other sessions she does with YOAS. The hotel was also amazing. The food was fantastic and the staff extremely helpful. All in all a wonderful way to start the new year.
