Birgit Künzli

Birgit has 20 years of own yoga and meditation as well as 10 years of teaching experience. She is a Hatha and Vinyasa Yoga teacher (500h), Yin Yoga teacher, prenatal and kids yoga teacher, health coach and author. Birgit has a passion for supporting others: she loves working especially with women to engage them finding themselves again through yoga and a slowliving lifestyle. She loves bringing people back to a natural, slow life.

“My life’s mission is to support you to re-discover your authenticity and live in it completely, I will support you to find your ultimate wellness through yoga and a healthy lifestyle.

Suffering is part of life. When I personally realized that suffering actually came from the constant looking for happiness and the perfect life, something changed in my own life. Recognizing that being unhappy comes from a wrong perspective and wrong thoughts everything changed. Now I feel that I want to live life as a whole, with all the ups and downs, and not just the happy side of it. Life is beautiful and perfect as it is, and that is happiness.“

Marrakech:

In Marrakech you are accommodated right in the middle of the Medina, Marrakech’s old part of the city, in one of our carefully chosen, familiar Partner Riads. Cool and comfortable, beautiful and absolutely quiet though right in the center, the chosen 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 – if the weather allows, on the Riad’s rooftop.
Regular accommodation happens to be in shared, spacious triple rooms (same gender) with separated beds, ensuite bathrooms & free wifi access. Single or double/twin accommodation is bookable upon request / availability and with subject to surcharges.

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.

Marrakech holds an international Airport Marrakech Menara. Transportation from and to the airport is arranged by NOSADE once you submitted your flight details.

Please note: Flights are not included in the quoted price.

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.
