Teacher & Practice

Anica Team NOSADE_Source NOSADE

Anica Alla

Anica founded NOSADE to share authentic travel experiences in beautiful, diverse, and ever fascinating Morocco with like-minded nomad-hearted people.

One of her concerns as an entrepreneur is combining a conscious approach to nature and culture on the one hand with a company that creates jobs for locals and operates in a sustainable and fair fashion on the other. She strives to provide both clients and employees with educational and formative experiences.

As a yoga teacher she blends knowledge of the bio-mechanical aspects of healthy motion in yoga with a balanced and conscious approach to life that is rooted in thousands of years of yoga tradition and teachings.

“Make conscious choices about how to move – joyfully, and yet skillfully and aware – how you want to think and feel and take these learnings from the mat to your daily life.”

Anica is a trained yoga therapist. She also teaches Anusara yoga to students of all proficiency levels, focusing on the development of an autonomous awareness for a pain-free and self-determined life in motion.

Accommodation

Marrakech: 

You are accommodated right in the middle of the Medina, Marrakech’s old part of the city, in a carefully chosen, familar Riad. Cool and comfortable, beautiful and absolutely quiet though right in the center, the chosen Partner Riad provides you with the fitting environment to dust off, relax, enjoy the sun and a glas of Moroccan tea any time of the day. And of course serves us comfortably for our daily yoga practice.

 

Essaouira:
Your Essaouira experience starts at Riad Kafila – a traditional Moroccan home, which borders the sea wall and overlooks the rocky beachscape of the northwest corner of this fortress city. Riad Kafila is one of the best located Riads in the medina of Essaouira with an amazing ocean view. The team welcomes you with a blend of desert simplicity, modern comfort and warmhearted hospitality.
It is comprised of three floors and a stunning rooftop terrace with views up and down Essaouira’s scenic coast. The Riad is an oasis of calm only a few minutes from the many restaurants, souks, cafes and shops in the medina, and only five minutes walking from both the harbor and the kilometers of endless sandy beach.

 

Agdz, Drâa Valley:

You will be accommodated in the beautiful Bab el Oued Ecolodge deep inside  the heart of the Draa Valley. Right in the middle of a huge palm grove in a 5000 sqm wide oasis, where many species of flowers and fruits perfume the air day & night, Bab el Oued guarantees an enchanting surrounding during your stay.
Bab el Oued Morocco Ecolodge proposes you 6 independant unique bedrooms. Each bedroom offers full comfort and a mixture of traditional materials for your senses delight.

 

Merzouga:

You are accommodated in a traditional Kasbah (Hotel) on the only hill there overlooking the Sahara before we are heading inside the desert and once we returned from the desert. The Kasbah is family-run, welcoming and has exceptionally nice rooms with terraces facing the dunes.

 

Desert Camp:

Traditional Berber tents equipped with comfortable beds with mattresses will serve as our housing right in the middle of the desert. The camp furthermore holds a kitchen, a restaurant and toilets. And for sure enough space for serving us comfortably for our daily yoga practice.

What does Retreat stand for on a trip with NOSADE?

Accept what is. Escape daily routines, find inner peace, inner balance, and inner tranquility. Morocco will challenge you to do so – with all its sounds, smells & (for us Westerners) sometimes unusual manners. We encourage you to open up for all those impressions.

Two daily Yoga and meditation sessions in Morocco’s mystical surroundings will be accompanying and supporting this experience.
