Desert Somatic Yoga Retreat Sep 2026
Imagine yoga overlooking the magical, ancient city of Marrakech. Imagine yoga in the tranquility and vastness of the desert. Imagine finding relaxation and a path to your very own sources of inspiration in some of the most beautiful and special locations in the world.
Enjoy 10 days of skillfulness, quietness, real retreating and inspiration on our very special, popular Desert Yoga Retreat from 25th September – 4th October 2026.
Prices start from EUR 1595,- per person and stay, and include:
- yoga classes & meditation
- accommodation & half board
- airport transfers & transfers throughout the country
- 1 guided tour in Marrakech
- (camel) trekking in the desert
This retreat is an invitation into spaciousness, stillness, and deep listening.
In the vastness of the desert, we slow down and soften — creating space to reconnect with the quiet intelligence of the body.
Through somatic yoga and nervous system–informed practices, you will be gently guided to return to yourself:
– where you have overridden your signals, you begin to listen again
– where you have felt lost, you find your center
– where there has been disconnection, you reconnect
– where there has been agitation, you make space for stillness
This is not about forcing calm, but about allowing stillness to emerge in a way that feels safe, nourishing, and deeply restorative.
Held by the silence and immensity of the desert, this retreat supports a return to presence — where less becomes more, and where you can simply be.
*If you feel called to go deeper, you have the opportunity to book one-on-one nervous system somatic session for a personalized moment to listen more closely, integrate more deeply, and support your nervous system in a way that is unique to you.

Milena is a somatic yoga teacher and nervous system therapist whose work is rooted in embodiment, presence, and inner safety.
Her journey began over 15 years ago through her own personal practice, when she realized that pushing her limits through sports was no longer supportive, and felt the need for a more gentle, grounding way to reconnect with herself. This shift led her to explore practices that cultivate awareness, balance, and a deeper relationship with the body.
She trained in Vinyasa Yoga and deepened her path through Kriya Yoga, where she connected more intimately with the movement of energy and emotions within the body. Through further training in embodiment principles, her work evolved into an approach that supports people in accessing their inner resources and reconnecting with their lived experience.
Through further training in somatic therapy and an in-depth study of the nervous system, Milena developed a sensitive and integrative approach that meets each person where they are. Her work gently supports those moments when slowing down, stillness, or even being in the body can feel uncomfortable or overwhelming.
She creates safe, nurturing spaces where students can listen, release tension, and rediscover the wisdom of their bodies — allowing life to move through them with more ease, authenticity, and aliveness.
