A river runs through it: Nell’s rather unconventional approach to yoga trips keeps things fresh With its bustling warren of streets, the explosion of smells, sights and sounds and the relentless swarms of scooters, bikes and donkeys jostling for position on the narrow alleyways, it seems the very antithesis of calm.
Relaxing: Early morning yoga on the rooftop of the riad, an oasis of calm in the centre of Marrakech’s bustling Medina Indeed, the peaceful inner courtyard of the riad, a beautifully restored merchants’ house on a cool alleyway in the centre of the Medina, was where we would practise our two 90-minute yoga classes each day, one at 8am and one at 6pm, and where we would hear Nell’s daily readings of inspirational words and join in with meditation and chanting sessions.
The stressed-out shallow breathing that ruled my life back in England segued imperceptibly into smooth, satisfying breaths.A beautiful rooftop terrace overlooking the skyline of Marrakech, with plunge pool, sun loungers and white canvas gazebo, offered a sunny sanctuary between the morning and evening yoga sessions.This was no ascetic retreat run by puritans either.
