Quiet Awakenings 5-Day Yoga Retreat
Essaouira, Morocco
“Kristi is a really experienced and capable instructor who really enables and encourages her students, helping them grow as yogis and people. You need a talented yogi to lead you on a retreat and Kristi has all tools in her kit bag and passion and personality to make the difference between a week doing yoga and proper retreat that leaves you grounded and refreshed.”
The Serai, Essaouira, Morocco
7th-12th June, 2026
On this all inclusive 5-day retreat we will start the day with a light breakfast, and a slow strong 2 hour Forrest Yoga practice complete with meditation and breath work in 'The Temple'. Modifications are always available for different levels and abilities.
You will be nourished by 3 locally sourced and seasonal vegetarian meals a day; breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
The afternoon sessions will be a mix of Yoga Nidra, Restorative Yoga, Journaling and sitting in circle, and there will also be a sound bath.
Serai is situated at the foot of a forrested hillside and a 10 minute walk from a tourist-free stretch of coast, 15kms north of Essaouira. The house enjoys the finest views with every window looking out to woodland or ocean. Set amidst a tiny and very traditional fishing & farming community, this kasbah of rock, earth and lime offers discerning travellers an immersive experience of slow living and slow food wrapped in a profound silence."
This is more than a retreat.
I believe that the smallest shifts make the greatest impact on our lives.
I know this because for many years I moved through trainings and processes like an intensity junkie, looking for the big breakdown, the breakthrough, the monumental ah ha moment. I thought there was something wrong with me when I wasn’t flapping around on the floor in a puddle of my own sweat like my fellow trainees preparing to be reborn.
The more I moved through these experiences and observed myself within them, the more I processed, the deeper I dug, and the more zealously I excavated; I discovered a truth about myself.
I don’t find clarity and movement in the form of enormous epiphanies.
My insights roll in on calm and knowing waves, one after the other.
The insights easeful yet poignant.
These awakenings have moved in, in such small and manageable ways, that they have made real foundational changes in my life.
The more I acknowledged this truth about myself and the way I process, the more I revered in the process.
I see the value in doing the groundwork and have watched how the thousands of comparatively tiny insights amounted to seismic shifts and changes in life. I know first hand that to make real changes, authentic, fundamental shifts in our lives, we need to take our time within our processes, truly embody our insights, and practice, practice, practice.
This right here is my intention for this retreat.
This will be in an intimate setting with 5 rooms in total in the house. I encourage you to share.
The retreat will include deep feeling practices, guiding journal writing, psychotherapy practices, a sound bath, a beautiful massage, and the odd oracle card pull.
