Hélène Joliet is a certified yoga teacher trained in France and India in traditional Hatha yoga. Taught by an Indian teacher from Pondicherry, she transmits a yoga that goes beyond postures to include pranayama, meditation, Indian philosophy and intention work.

Dóra Kozma is a yoga teacher and the founder of Pause Retreat. After her 800-hour teacher training at Byron Yoga Centre in Australia, she creates experiences that help people slow down, reconnect and return to themselves through mindful movement, breathwork, nature, creativity and community.

Sylvie & Hélène co-lead the seven-day 'Breath of the Desert' retreat, a walking journey between Marrakech and M'Hamid that combines yoga, desert trekking, meditation, silence, group workshops and nights under the stars.

The desert offers a rare setting for yoga and meditation: space, silence, light, dunes and the simplicity of camp life naturally create the conditions for letting go. Our Sahara retreats are designed for people looking for an authentic wellness stay in Morocco, with a balance between physical practice, rest, desert discovery, simple food and shared moments around the fire.

• Yoga morning and evening: gentle practice at sunrise and at the end of the day - Hatha, Yin, stretching, breathing and deep relaxation.
• Meditation in the Sahara: guided meditations, silence, stargazing and presence in the dunes of M'Hamid.
• Mindful walking: slow walks in the desert and discovery of the landscapes of southern Morocco.
• Bivouac and campfire: nights at a desert camp, traditional meals, nomad music and evenings under the stars.
• Simple, healthy food: Moroccan meals cooked on site, vegetarian on request, tea and water.
• Real disconnection: an ideal setting to cut the noise, slow down and leave with clearer energy.

Typical formats run from 5 to 7 days: welcome in M'Hamid or transfer from Marrakech or Ouarzazate, arrival at the camp or departure into the dunes, daily yoga, meditation and breathing, mindful walks, traditional meals, fireside evenings and nights under the stars. Generally included: camp accommodation, meals in the desert, local guidance and logistics, yoga and meditation practices with the teacher, walks and free time.

Yoga teachers, therapists, wellness coaches and private groups can ask for a tailor-made retreat with their own dates, duration and programme. We handle the complete organisation: bivouacs or fixed camp, meals, transport, camel treks and local nomad guides. Tell us your dates, number of participants, departure city and the type of experience you want, and we will reply with the options that fit your project. Contact us on WhatsApp +212 607 752 872.
