Asana x Rest x Community Retreat: June 13 - 20, 2023
$3,150.00
The word “Qarrya” in Arabic means village, or rather, community. In this deep retreat, NYC-city based yoga teachers and retreat leaders Stephanie Schwartz and Juan Gamboa guide a community of like-minded students, soul seekers and adventure-inspired yogis to find connection and community among each other.
Against the backdrop of Morocco’s magical landscape and through the tools of Asana (the Sanskrit term meaning “Postures”), community members are invited to find a balance of energizing classes, deeper yogic philosophy, meditation and, of course, leisurely lazy pool days napping under the clear, bright sky.
Stephanie and Juan foster an inviting and inclusive atmosphere so students from all backgrounds feel welcome and at home. A student can expect an experience of well-curated classes, relaxation, reflection and a community of lifelong friendships.
