South Africa
MAGIK is made when you soak in the spirit of the land, moving your body, connecting with kindred spirits.
Together, we explore the best of Morocco on a journey that begins in the bustling city of Marrakech, and takes us to the majestic Sahara Desert. We'll wander through an Arab marketplace, roam palaces, experience a traditional hammam, smell fragrant spices, taste tajine, and practice yoga in the most unforgettable locations, leaving you feeling revitalized and restored.
Please know, this is a yoga adventure. We will be on the move, and our yoga “studio” often unconventional. Five 60 min classes will be woven into our week, as well as daily mindful practices and reflective moments.
Join me as I weave Ritual MAGIK into your journey of this mystical land!

I’ll definitely be taking part in this!

Surrounded by stalactites and stalagmites, you will weave and crawl through narrow passages and exciting tunnels on a tour of Congo Caves.
