SUMMARY:Morocco Yoga Adventure ~ Rabat\, Chefchauen\, Fés\, Marrakech & Essaouria
DESCRIPTION:Following our recent incredible adventure around Morocco we have so much interest from people for Morocco that we put together a brand new itinerary and route for March of 2026. We begin\, as before\, by being picked up at Casablanca airport and heading north to the capital of Morocco\, Rabat. We’ll have lunch and then check in to our Riad where we’ll have a little time to settle before gathering for our first dinner in Morocco. Then off to our rooms for our first night in Morocco and a great nights sleep. \n  \nOur next day begins with Yoga and then breakfast at our Riad before meeting our guide to see some of what makes this Imperial City so special. Our walking tour will include Loudaya Kasbah\, the Jewish Quarter and Mosque Hassan before we stop for lunch. From there we depart Rabat for Fés. We’ll arrive at the beautiful Riad Tafilalet in Fés late afternoon/early evening and after checking in enjoy our first dinner in the oldest city in Morocco before settling into this beautiful Riad for our first of two nights. \n  \n  \n \nFés boasts the largest and best preserved medieval Medina in all of Africa\, a fascinating car-free labyrinth of sometimes tiny alleyways\, winding streets and extraordinary history and culture. After Yoga and breakfast\, our guide will meet us for a day of exploring this ancient city and some of what makes it so unique and captivating. Fés is world famous for its mosaic foundries\, tanneries as well as the  al-Qarawiyyin University\, a UNESCO World Heritage site and its lively street life that feels lost in time.  You will get to soak all this in as our guide gives us a well-rounded walking tour with a chance to see artisans at work and shop for treasures to either have shipped or carry home with you. Eventually we’ll return to our Riad after a full and magical day to unwind over dinner and our second night here. \n  \nNext morning we’ll enjoy another Yoga practice at the glorious Riad Tafilalet before having breakfast and departing for Chefchaouen\, the blue city. We’ll drive through the Rif mountains\, passing Kasbahs\, villages and stopping at Volubilis\, the Roman City\, where we’ll have lunch. We arrive in Chefchauen late afternoon/early evening and once we’re checked in to our Riad\, we’ll gather for dinner before settling in for our first of two nights in this captivating small city. \n  \n \nAfter Yoga the next morning we’ll enjoy breakfast at our Riad before our guide meets us to take us on a walking tour of the Medina of Chefchaouen when we can learn more about this fascinating small Moroccan city. After lunch in the Medina you’ll have the afternoon to explore this beautiful blue city nestled in the Rif mountains before we have a relaxing afternoon Yoga practice. We’ll gather for dinner at our Riad and settle in for our second night. \n  \nThe following day begins with Yoga and then breakfast after which we depart for the Red City\, Marrakech. We’ll make stops along the way\, including for lunch and arrive at the beautiful Riad Nashira in Marrakech early evening where we’ll have a delicious dinner (maybe on their gorgeous roof!) before settling into one of their lovely rooms for the night. \n  \n \n  \nRiad Nashira has a beautiful roof where we’ll enjoy our Yoga practice next morning\, after which we’ll head down to breakfast and then be ready to meet our guide for the day. We will explore the Bahia Palace\, the beautiful Secret Garden and the souks of the Medina. Marrakech is very lively and more chaotic than Fés and feels more African whereas Fés has a mellower feel with hints of it’s European connections. Walking through the souks are the ultimate way to experience this contrast and energy and our guide will take us on a route that gives a good sense of the different artisans and focuses of different parts of the Medina. We’ll have a great dinner at Riad Nashira before heading to your comfortable room for a second night. \n  \nToday we head to the dreamy coastal town of Essaouria for our last three nights. We’ll leave Riad Nashira after a spacious Yoga practice and breakfast and head due west for about 2.5 hours\, arriving in Essaouria in time for lunch. From here we’ll check into our Riad and have a little time to explore before afternoon Yoga. Our Riad will serve us a delicious dinner before finding your way to your room for the night. \n  \n \nAfter Yoga and breakfast in Essaouria\, we’ll meet up with our guide for the morning who will show us the highlights of the small historic Medina of Essaouria which is a UNESCO World Heritage site. We’ll wrap up our tour with lunch in the Medina and then a free afternoon to perhaps enjoy a Hammam\, or some shopping and exploring this historically important port town.  Another great dinner and second night at our seaside Riad. For our last day (!) we’ll enjoy one more morning Yoga before a yummy breakfast and then depart for a day at the beach. We’ll take a little drive up the coast\, enjoy a picnic lunch\, some time for swimming\, walking the beach\, sun-bathing and then roll out our mats for a relaxing afternoon yoga on the beach which will be the perfect wrap to all our Yoga practices in the various places we’ve been. We’ll wind our way back to our Riad for our last night\, enjoying one more fabulous Moroccan dinner and squeezing those last few treasures in the suitcase ready for departure the next morning. \n  \nA Sample Day \n  \n6:30a ~ Coffee\, tea \n7.30a ~ Morning Yoga \n9:00a ~ Breakfast \n10:00 a ~ Excursions / Activities / Departing for our next stop (as described above) \nLunch will be worked in to our days whether we are exploring places we are staying or en route to our next stop. \n5.30p ~ Afternoon Yoga on a few days as our itinerary allows. \n7:30p ~ Dinner \n  \nTimes will vary depending on departure times and when we are leaving/arriving to and from our Riads\,  but this gives you an idea of how a typical day will flow. \n  \nYour Investment \nDouble Occupancy  (2 people sharing 1 room in either a double bed or two twin beds) with private bath – $4700 per person \nPrivate Occupancy (1 person in a room) with private bath – $6200 \n  \nWhat’s Included \n• 10 nights/11 days at various Riads in Morocco \n• Daily Yoga\, twice on a couple of days as we are able based upon our travel itinerary \n• 2 freshly prepared meals (breakfast & dinner) daily \n• All transportation for our trip as outlined in this description \n• All guides at the various cities and Medinas that we will visit \n  \nWHAT’S NOT INCLUDED \n• Your flights! \n• Lunches \n• Massages/Hammam \n• Any meals/drinks off the property \n• Alcohol/Wine \n• Entrance fee to a couple of sites we’ll visit \n• Tips for drivers\, riads & guides (I will make suggestions to help you plan) \n  \nDeposit of $1000 reserves your spot. DEPOSITS ARE NON-REFUNDABLE.

SUMMARY:Commonwealth of Dominica\, Caribbean Yoga Retreat ~ January 5 - 12 2026
DESCRIPTION:Dominica\, known as “The Nature Island of the Caribbean”\, is a mountainous Island nation in the Lesser Antilles of the Eastern Caribbean\, nestled between Martinique to the north and Guadeloupe to the south.  It is a volcanic island\, with three active volcanoes and many geothermal springs\, the largest being Boiling Lake\, (the second largest hotspring in the world)\, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site\, as is Morne Trois Pitons National Park where Boiling lake is found. \n  \n  \nTrail to Boiling Lake and the Valley of Desolation Dominica West Indies. \nJungle Bay\, Dominica West Indies \nView toward Scotts Head from Jungle Bay \n  \nThere is a river for every day of the year on Dominica\, (which is quite something considering Dominica is approximately 289 sq miles in size) which along with the highest peaks in the Lesser Antilles\, has created some incredible waterfalls\, lush mountainous rainforests\, hot springs\, and plentiful rare plant\, animal and bird life.  The main event by far on Dominica is Nature. The variety of walking and hiking trails is plentiful\, ranging from mild and easy to very strenuous (the Boiling Lake hike being the most challenging) and everything in-between. The hike to Middleham Falls and the twin falls of Trafalgar Falls (one waterfall is cold\, one flows with hot spring water) for example is easy to moderate and has the treat of a dip in the waterfalls for those that choose. Scuba diving is a big attraction on Dominica for those who partake\, the snorkeling is also excellent with a favourite spot being Champagne – a very shallow spot with a hot water spring emerging through rocks in the ocean\, which can be enjoyed as an evening excursion when the octopus are active. Whale & dolphin watching\, kayaking and paddleboarding are also available. \nClaire fell in love with Dominica in the 90’s when she visited many times and stayed with good friends who had returned to their island home. She has hiked much of the island\, scuba dived many times there\, and even been there for Mas Dominik\, widely considered one of the most authentic Carnivals where she was part of the lively procession down from the hills into Rouseau for sunrise. There was a retreat scheduled to Jungle Bay and Dominica several years ago that unfortunately had to be cancelled due to catastrophic damage sustained during a hurricane but they have rebuilt better than ever and it is time to put this retreat back in the diary. \nEmerald pool\, Dominica\, Eastern Caribbean deep in the rainforest \n \n \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nJungle Bay is a luxurious eco resort designed in harmony with nature and is perched on a hillside in the south of Dominica in Soufriere\, near Scotts Head\, the “tail” of Dominica. It is staffed by in-the-know locals\, and dedicated people who provide fascinating insight into one of the most interesting destinations in the Caribbean. It has been meticulously created by a team of people headed up by Dominican entrepreneur and sustainable development expert\, Sam Raphael. We will have a dedicated Yoga Studio for our daily practices that is fully stocked\, and enjoy three freshly prepared meals daily at one of Jungle bays restaurants overlooking the Caribbean Sea. Accommodations are spacious\, clean and comfortable and can be either private or double occupancy. I have reserved 15 garden view villa rooms\, which can be upgraded to partial ocean view and/or full suite rooms for an additional fee. \n  \n \n \n \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nSample Day \n6.30a ~ Early riser pre-breakfast\, coffee\, tea \n8.00a ~ Spacious morning yoga practice \n10.00a ~ Jungle Bay breakfast/brunch \nYou can make your retreat as unscheduled as you wish or take advantage of some hikes and excursions that I will organize. Scotts Head is a short walk from Jungle Bay which is a lovely walk to a friendly village with the opportunity to climb up to the top of the promontory overlooking Martinique. Massages and Spa services are available at Jungle Bay\, there are two swimming pools overlooking the Caribbean\, and stunning gardens to explore as well as plenty of places to relax. There are several knowledgeable locals on staff\, including Stacy\, the head landscaper who gives tours of her meticulously crafted and cared for gardens. Also Sam\, who created Jungle Bay gives eco talks of how he was able to transform a childhood dream into a model for sustainable wellness-focused tourism. Scuba diving\, snorkeling\, kayaking\, and so much more available for those interested. \n5.30p ~ afternoon chill yoga \n7.00p ~ Locally sourced\, freshly prepared delicious dinner. \n  \nYour Investment \nGarden View Villa Room double occupancy (2 people sharing 1 room) with en-suite bathroom ~ $3400 per person \nGarden View Villa Room Private Occupancy (1 person in a private room) with en-suite bathroom ~ $4900 per person \nPartial Ocean-View upgrade ~ $600 per room \nSuites for additional fee based upon availability.

SUMMARY:Cultural Tour of Morocco with Yoga!
DESCRIPTION:Claire’s first Moroccan multi-destination adventure exceeded everyones wildest dreams .. so lets make it happen once again\, but this time with some new additions to our itinerary!   Claire’s first retreat to Morocco in 2019 led her to explore this incredible country from top to bottom\, east to west and out of these travels we are creating extraordinary opportunities to blend a bespoke\, customized tour with yoga to deliver a real taste of the diversity and stunning beauty of this magical Kingdom. \n  \nOur guide\, Omar\, has been taking people all over Morocco for over 20 years and is beloved wherever he goes.  He has a permanent smile on his face and knows the entire country like the back of his hand.  Wherever he goes he is welcomed as a beloved friend and creates truly unique and charmed experiences that transform his guests into his vast circle of friends.  He will pick us up at Casablanca airport in as many Toyota Land Cruisers as we need and guide us until he drops us off 10 days later with a lifetimes worth of memories to take home and cherish. \n  \nEach day we will take breakfast and dinner at our Riad\, while keeping lunch open to enjoy as we explore.  We’ll practice yoga mostly in the morning\, but may shift some yoga practices to the afternoon if our itinerary dictates.  However\, when we are in the Sahara Desert at the amazing luxury camp at Erg Chigaga for 2 nights\, we will drop way down into retreat mode and get to practice yoga twice daily as we well as meditate in the dunes at sunrise (!). \n  \nTHE DETAILS \nAnd so\, our adventure begins when we are picked up in Casablanca!  From here we will drive to Fés and settle in to the beautiful and friendly Riad Dar Tafilalet which is located inside the Medina\, for 2 nights.  After a spacious yoga practice and delicious breakfast we’ll spend the entire next day exploring the ancient walled medina\, Fes El Bali\, visit the main tanneries and a foundry to see how the traditional mosaic tile artisanal goods are made before our second night in this Imperial city.  Next morning we’ll take the spectacular drive south across the Anti (or low) Atlas Mountains passing many small villages\, stopping for lunch at an authentic Moroccan spot before arriving for the night at Todra Gorge. \n \n \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nContinuing the following morning\, we’ll journey through the Anti-Atlas\, passing the magnificent Ikniouen Mountain with beautiful sweeping views\, onto Nkob and the beginning of the Draa Valley (which literally translates as the breast\, the giver of life) the largest oasis in all of Morocco where we will have lunch. Then we continue driving through the Draa Valley passing by many small villages and Kasbahs\, getting a real taste of truly authentic Morocco\, arriving in Zagora at our beautiful hotel for the night\, Riad Lamane\, where we will enjoy a relaxing yoga practice before dinner. \n  \n \nWe’ll depart Riad Lamane after Yoga and Breakfast and continue on through the Draa Valley to our first stop\, Tamegrout which dates back to the 11th Century as a religious center in Morocco and is the home of the oldest Koranic School as well as the famous authentic green Moroccan pottery. Continuing on through the Draa Valley\, we travel through small villages and by Kasbahs until we reach Mhamid (the last village before we enter the Sahara Desert) where we’ll stop for lunch.  Following lunch we leave civilisation\, and head into the Dunes of The Moroccan Sahara to drive to Erg Chigaga\, the most remote dunes in the Moroccan Sahara\, where we will spend the next 2 nights. We arrive late afternoon\, in time for an unwinding yoga practice before sunset on the dunes and dinner. After dinner there’s some relaxing by the fire while we are treated to drumming and music under the Saharan stars before your first nights sleep at the luxury camp of Erg Chigaga. \n  \nThe “tents” are truly luxurious\, featuring their own complete private bathrooms with hot water showers and lots of space to spread out.  Each night in the Sahara we’ll have a campfire and music under the stars\, sunrise meditation on the dunes\, yoga each morning and afternoon and breakfast and dinner.  We’ll get to visit some nomad villages\, enjoy a sunset camel trek and punctuate our tour with a spacious relaxed pause here for 2 nights before heading off to see more of what makes Morocco so very special. \n  \n \n  \nAfter breakfast we’ll depart early leaving the camp and driving through the Sahara to Lake Iriki which is a dry lake and the largest of its kind in Southern Morocco\, on our way to Foum Zguid\, the first village after the Sahara for a brief stop. Then continuing on to Tazenakht where we will visit a Berber carpet cooperative (this is the region known for the best carpets) and have lunch there. Tazenakht is the most important place for traditional Berber carpet weaving in all of Morocco and we’ll have the opportunity to learn how this art has been passed down over the centuries and see the artisans at their craft. After lunch we travel through the High Atlas Mountains\, passing by little villages\, ancient kasbahs and dramatic scenery onto the Red City – Marrakech\, where we will spend 3 nights at the exquisite Riad & Spa Nashira.  Following our first night in Marrakech\, we’ll enjoy yoga and breakfast before meeting up with our guide for the day who will take us through the bustling medina of Marrakech\, a great opportunity for shopping for authentic Moroccan artisanal goods\, spices etc.  We’ll then return to our Riad for a spacious afternoon yoga before dinner and our second night. The next day we’ve kept unscheduled to give an opportunity for massage\, hammam\, more shopping (!)\, relaxing by the pool and enjoying our last day in Morocco before a wonderful last nights dinner together.  October 31st is departure day! The Royal Air Maroc to JFK usually departs Casablanca around 4p (approx) so our group transport will align with getting to Casablanca in plenty of time (usually leaving Marrakech around 9a (approx). For those traveling to different destinations we can arrange alternate transportation based upon your timing\, needs etc. \n \n  \n  \nITINERARY \n.  October 22nd ~ Arrive Casablanca on Royal Air Maroc AT201 (your responsibility to book your flight) \n.   October 22nd & 23rd ~ Fés 2 nights at Riad Dar Tafilat \n.  October 24th ~ Todra Gorge for 1 night \n.  October 25th ~ Zagora – Riad Lamane for 1 night \n.  October 26th & 27th ~ Erg Chigaga Sahara\,  Luxury Camp for 2 nights \n.  October 28th\, 29th & 30th ~ Marrakech\, Riad & Spa Nashira for 3 nights \n.  October 31st ~ Departure! \n  \nYOUR INVESTMENT \n$4200 per person based upon double occupancy (shared room) \n$6000 private (single) occupancy \n  \n \nWHAT’S INCLUDED \n.  All transportation in Morocco. \n.  10 days with our delightful private tour guide Omar & his team \n.  9 nights accommodation \n.  Our local guides in the medinas of Fés and Marrakech \n.  Breakfast and Dinner each day \n.  All yoga & guided meditation \n.  Optional Sunset Camel Trek \n.  Optional Sandboarding in the Sahara (think snowboarding desert style) \n.  Visiting several ancient Kasbahs \n.  So much more! \n$1000 deposit secures your spot and is non-refundable.  We expect this trip to fill very quickly and recommend you plan ahead!  WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND TRAVEL INSURANCE.  Unforseen circumstances do unfortunately occur and it is always good to be protected just in case\, not least for peace of mind.  You are responsible for your flight to Casablanca and I will tell you which flight to book.  I strongly urge you to go with my recommendation so that we all arrive simultaneously as Omar and his drivers will be picking us up at the airport to head to Fés (a couple hours drive).  IF you prefer to take your own different flight option\, you will be responsible for getting yourself to Fés to meet us. Claire has travelled extensively throughout Morocco and has spent a lot of time in each of the places we’ll visit so please email her with your questions at:  clairecopersino@gmail.com.  She is so looking forward to sharing some of this spellbinding country with you. \n

SUMMARY:Andalucia\, Spain - May 3rd - 10th 2025
DESCRIPTION:  \n  \n \nNestled in Andalucias spectacular national park\, Sierra de Grazalema\, lies a collection of charming Spanish Villas. \n  \nSurrounded by lush mountains in the middle of the nature reserve the Andalucian sunlight illuminates the panoramic views. This unique retreat center has 5 swimming pools\, a tennis court\, gardens\, terraces and an array of hiking trails in what BBC Travel considers the best place to hike in all of Andalucia. The collection of villas has a total of 17 rooms\, each with A/C and heat\, wifi\, and can be single or double occupancy.  Each villa does have it’s own full kitchen\, but we will have a full staff of talented chefs who will be preparing 3 tasty vegetarian meals daily\, served in the main house\, buffet style. Wine will be available for purchase\, and dietary restrictions (not preferences) can be accommodated. \n  \n \nSierra de Grazalema is situated in Southern central Spain\, approximately an hour from Malaga and Marbella and 1.5 hours from Seville\, with Ronda being the nearest town. \nMalaga and Seville are the best airports to plan on arriving at and from there I can arrange ground transportation via our hosts. The hiking is one of the many draws to this part of Spain\, with several trails within Sierra de Grazalema\, and there will be at least 1 guided hike (hopefully more) scheduled during our week for those who would like to explore. \n  \n \n  \nI will also organize a visit to Zahara de la Sierra\, a small whitewashed village with an olive oil producer where we can walk around and take a guided tour of the olive oil factory and experience a tasting of their olive oil\, regional cheeses and sherry (for those who would like). \n \nAdditionally there’ll be a day/evening trip to Ronda to explore and then attend a Flamenco performance (of course!) and a wine tasting before the show. I am also hoping to add a day trip to Seville! As always you can join as many of these day trips or none – it’s your retreat and travel experience to craft EXACTLY how you want it. \n  \nOne of the villas\, El Rancho\, has one single bedroom and one double bedroom with a shared bath\, as well as it’s own private swimming pool\, terraces and gardens. This could be a perfect villa for a small family or a few friends to share. \n  \n \nAdditionally\, there is the private villa\, La Romantica\, that has one double bedroom\, full bath\, kitchen\, private pool\, terraces and gardens for a couple or friends who don’t mind sharing a bed. \n \nThere is also a very special Junior Suite in the main Villa\, El Cortijo\, with an arab bathtub\, and it’s own private tower (!). Other than these unique accommodations all rooms have private bathroom and can be double or single occupancy. \n \nWe will practice yoga every morning\, and 3 or 4 afternoons (excursion schedule depending) in the spacious\, light and airy yoga shala in the main house. The yoga shala is fully stocked with mats and props (blankets\, bolsters\, blocks\, straps\, meditation cushions). Classes will be accessible to all with an emphasis on modifying as needed and scaling it up or down to suit your needs. There is always a wide variety of practitioners with different physical challenges\, agility abilities and every other imaginable permutation and Claire is all about yoga being an inclusive\, available-to-all practice.

SUMMARY:Verdad\, Nicaragua
DESCRIPTION:On the untouched coast of the Southern Pacific\, in an area that is known as the Emerald Coast of Nicaragua\, lies a hidden gem of place\, Verdad. Verdad was built with the intention of creating spaces that allow guests to take in the sweeping views of this stunning hillside overlooking the Pacific Ocean in laid-back luxury that oozes ease and lacks formality. You can expect all the comfort\, details\, and excellence of a high-end resort in a small boutique hotel that is also eco-conscious and off the grid (they create 100% of their own electricity via solar power). Additionally\, drinking water is carbon filtered. \n  \n \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nVerdad is perched on a hillside\, overlooking Playa Escameca Grande (a secluded beach) with shaded hammocks\, lounge chairs\, a pool-with-a-view\, and a beach bar/restaurant where you can sip and sample some fresh Nica-style food with sand between your toes.  The stunning beauty of the area and vast\, striking views across the valley and out into the open sea will immediately draw you in.

After a spacious morning yoga practice we’ll enjoy a full “Nica” breakfast/brunch. The beach bar and restaurant offers the opportunity to order delicious sips and freshly prepared food throughout the day.

The Shala is fully stocked with Manduka mats\, blocks\, straps and bolsters. We will steep in 2 yoga practices most days\, with a daily morning practice that will offer a more energetic opening and a late afternoon “luna” style restorative deep releasing and opening practice. As always\, you ultimately make it your own based upon how your energy and body are feeling\, modifying in either direction. \n  \nThere are 4 Ocean View Casitas that are designed for double occupancy\, 1 duplex ocean view casita that accommodates two people on each floor with a private bathroom on each floor. All casitas have ceiling fans and private decks (one on each floor of the duplex casita). Additionally there are 2 poolside rooms which feature outside seating areas\, ceiling fans and AC. \n  \n\n \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nSample Day \n6.30a ~ Early riser pre-breakfast\, coffee\, tea \n8.00a ~ Spacious morning yoga practice \n10.00a ~ Full “Nica” breakfast/brunch \nYou can make your retreat as unscheduled as you wish!  Massages can be had\, as well as various activities including but not limited to: deep-sea fishing\, surfing and surf school (!)\, paddle-boarding\, zip-lining\, ATV tour to remote villages and hiking untouched nature to pristine waterfalls\, horseback riding\, and just simply “being” amongst the lush beauty of Verdad and its surroundings. \n5.00p ~ afternoon chill yoga \n7.00p ~ Locally sourced\, freshly prepared delicious Nica dinner. \n  \nYour Investment   \nOcean-view Casita double occupancy $2200 per person\, private single occupancy $3600 \nDuplex Ocean view Casita 4 people (2 people sharing on each floor\, private bathroom on each floor) $2000 per person\, 2 people (1 person on each floor) $4000 per person \nPoolside Room double occupancy $1600 per person\, private single occupancy $2800 \nNon-refundable Deposit of $750 secures your spot.

Funchal markets are fantastic\, and our Stacey is super excited to provision the markets to highlight the extraordinary diversity of raw ingredients that are grown on the island.

SUMMARY:Alentejo\, Portugal Yoga Retreat
DESCRIPTION:Situated on the windswept and untouched Atlantic coast of Portugal\, near the charming fishing village of Zambujeira do Mar\, is Cocoon Portugal\, a 275 acre coastal farm & retreat.  The Alentejo coastal region\, which is known for its rugged coastline and long stretches of deserted beaches\, gives way to rolling hills\, whitewashed villages and traditional farming communities. Cocoon is far removed from the tourist trail\, a place that invites you to slow down\, and recalibrate and return to the natural rhythms that surround you in every direction.  Between the oversized hammocks and the freshwater lake\, you’ll start to lose track of time.  The kind of place where each morning is a celebration\, practicing under the canopy of old growth pines\, but so is each evening\, with world class wine and fascinating dinner conversation. From Lisboa\, Cocoon is about two hours drive south\, from Faro\, slightly closer).  The ocean\, with bluffs\, trails\, and sandy coves\, is a 15 minute drive away. \n  \nRooms \n  \nEleven clean & elegant rooms\, each opens to an outdoor courtyard.  Each room has two single beds\, which can be converted into a queen/king sized bed.  8 of the rooms have en-suite bathrooms\, while the remaining three rooms share a bathroom. 4 rooms can be converted into triples. \n  \n  \n \n  \nYoga \nWe have access to two beautiful Yoga Shalas – the light and airy indoor shala and an outdoor pine shala.   Cocoon is fully stocked with quality yoga props\, tibetan singing bowls\, palo santo and good vibes.  The  indoor shala is light filled and has enough windows and doors for the air to circulate freely. The floor is hand-made traditional Portuguese Santa Catarina tiles\, which are both beautiful and a joy to practice on. The outdoor shala has wood floors\, and is shaded by a handful of old-growth pines. The outdoor shala has no walls\, and is a 3 minute walk from the house. It’s especially wonderful for morning meditation and practice\, as the fog rolls in. \n  \n \n  \n  \nFood \n\nCocoons food philosophy is that a nourishing meal and a delicious feast don’t need to be exclusive of one another. The food is local\, with most of their produce coming from either the property\, or a nearby farm.  Oh\, and there’s an outdoor wood-fired pizza oven… 🙂  From a sustainability standpoint\, they choose not to serve red meat\, pork or poultry. They do serve eggs from their chickens\, (you can help collect if you like) local cheeses\, and occasionally wild-caught Atlantic fish. A typical breakfast includes eggs\, local fruit\, Greek yogurt\, homemade granola\, local honey\, homemade jam\, slow-rise bread\, and a daily tonic. Lunch is often a bowl; a base of ancient grains like farro\, topped with avocado\, roasted veggies\, nori\, or mixed greens. For dinner\, expect Indian + Japanese curries\, Mediterranean stews\, legumes\, rice\, salad and dessert.  \n\n  \n  \n  \nWhat’s Included \n• 7 Nights Accommodations at Cocoon Portugal \n• 3 Freshly prepared\, farm to table meals daily\, strong coffee & herbal teas throughout the day \n• 2 Yoga practices daily\, am at the outdoor shala\, underneath the pine trees\, pm in the beautiful light-filled indoor shala \n• Daily morning meditation at the outdoor shala \n• Use of a bicycle to go exploring \n• Swimming in Cocoons’ freshwater lake \n• Daydreaming in hammocks around the property \n• Stargazing in Cocoons’ Tipi on the property \n• Collecting eggs from the chickens on the property! \n  \nWhat’s NOT included: \n• Airfare – you are responsible for getting yourself to Portugal.  Lisboa is your best bet\, from which Cocoon is a 2 hour drive south.  Spend a couple nights in Lisboa after the retreat before heading home! \n• Transfers to Cocoon from Lisboa\, or wherever you fly into.  It is strongly recommended you rent a car.  We can help to pair you up with someone\, if you do not want to rent a car for any reason.  With cars\, we will be able to easily explore the surrounding area\, visit beaches nearby\, and small fishing villages that time forgot. \n \nYour Investment \n• Single Bed in shared triple occupancy room\, with ensuite bathroom & large terrace ~ $2000 \n• Single Bed in shared double occupancy room\, with ensuite bathroom ~ $2400 \n• Single Bed in shared double occupancy room\, sharing bathroom with one other room\, bathroom in hallway ~ $2000 \n• Private Room with shared bathroom in hallway ~ $3400 \n• Private Room with ensuite private bathroom ~ $4000 \n  \n  \n$750 Non-refundable\, non-transferable deposit required to reserve your spot.  All deposits are 100% non-refundable.  Travel Insurance strongly recommended to protect your investment\, should unforseen circumstances intervene.  There are many companies now offering travel insurance that protect your deposit and any and all monies spent on travel.   We cannot be held responsible for any change in plans on your part.   Please email clairecopersino@gmail.com with your questions and to make your booking.  We expect this retreat to sell out\, and recommend you claim your spot sooner rather than later. \n \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Essaouria\, Morocco\, Yoga Retreat
DESCRIPTION:Bright and breezy Essaouira\, on Morocco’s Atlantic coast\, is an enchanting\, laid-back alternative to the frenetic melting-pot of Marrakesh. The town’s name means “little picture” in Arabic\, and it’s a painter’s dream location\, with a vibrant blue-and-white “medina” (inner walled city)\, enclosed by fairy-tale\, sand-coloured ramparts and imposing stone gates (“Babs”). Beyond the colourful port\, rolling waves and a wide buttery beach stretching for miles complete the canvas. \nEssaouira lies on the crossroads between two tribes: the Arab Chiadma to the north and the Haha Berbers in the south. Add to that the Gnawa\, who came originally from further south in Africa\, and the Europeans\, and you get a rich cultural mix. \n \nLargely due to the coastal wind – the beautifully named alizee\, or taros in Berber – the town is largely bypassed by the hordes of beach tourists who descend on other Atlantic Coast destinations in summer\, allowing Essaouria (essa-weera\, or es-sweera in Arabic) to retain its traditional culture and character.  Known as the ‘Wind City of Africa’\, it attracts plenty of windsurfers between April and November\, but the majority of visitors come here in spring and autumn to wander through the spice-scented lanes and palm-lined avenues of the fortified medina\, browse the many art galleries and boutiques\, relax in some of the country’s best hotels and watch fishing nets being mended and traditional boats being constructed in the hugely atmospheric port.   The bustling medina is much easier to navigate than you’d imagine. A series of linked streets forms a central spine leading directly from the northern gate\, Bab Doukkala\, to the main square of Place Moulay Hassan\, by the waterfront. Tiny passageways and pungent souks splay outwards like fish-bones. \n \nOur home away from home in Essaouria will be the charming\, intimate guest house La Maison des Artistes\, situated directly on the coast with stunning panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean and town.   I have reserved the entire Riad (guest house) for our intimate group\, which will be a maximum of 14 people.  There are a variety of rooms available as well as the stunning Pavillion de César Loft for that extra special experience of a private terrace\, large open space and panoramic 360 degree ocean views.    All rooms have their own private bathroom.  Breakfast will be served daily at the Riad\, and we will then have the opportunity to experience a variety of local restaurants serving fine fresh cuisine for dinner and lunch.  I will be arranging for a guide to give us a taste of the rich history of the Medina. \n \nRetreat Includes: \n  \n\nDaily Morning Yoga Practice with Claire Copersino\nFreshly prepared breakfast\n7 nights at La Maison des Artistes\nFull access to the roof-top terrace and common spaces throughout the Riad\n3 Afternoon Yoga/Meditation Sessions with Claire Copersino\nTea available until 7p\n\n  \nPrices for your Pleasure \n“Venise” & “ROI” rooms  with skylights\, windows onto the terrace\, private bath ~ $1299 pp \n“Des Voyageurs” & “Florence”rooms ~ Patio\, \nOcean and Remparts View ~ $1599 pp \n“Flaubert” & “Scala” ~ Terraced Rooms ~ open space\, Ocean View ~ $1750 pp \n“Pavillion de César” ~ large open loft with private terrace and Panoramic 360 degree ocean views $2200 pp \n \nAll prices are per person\, based upon double occupancy.  Private Room is double so strongly urge sharing 🙂  All rooms\, with exception of Flaubert and Scala can be either twin beds or double.  Flaubert and Scala can ONLY be double bed. \n$750 deposit to secure your spot\, $1500 per room.  Deposit not refundable after April 1st 2019.  I strongly recommend you buy travel insurance for peace of mind just in case the unexpected happens.  As I’m sure you can understand\, I cannot be held responsible for your plans changing so please strongly consider protecting yourself. \n

SUMMARY:Madeira\, Portugal Retreat
DESCRIPTION:In fall 2012 we discovered the enchanted Isle of Madeira\, 400 miles off the coast of Morocco and it is time for us to return and share another extraordinary week of yoga\, hiking\, fabulous locally grown\, caught and prepared cuisine\, and magical shared experiences that will last a lifetime.  Madeira is a place that instantly captures your heart and imagination and awakens that place inside each of us that time forgot.  Our home for the week will be the Pestana Grand Hotel\, a beautiful\, Atlantic Ocean-front hotel on the outskirts of Funchal\, the capital of Madeira\, with every comfort close to hand.  We will practice yoga every morning\, in our own private penthouse studio with an open balcony directly overlooking the ocean. From practice\, we head to the bountiful breakfast served daily at the Grand with every conceivable breakfast food imaginable and an unlimited supply to boot.  So done right\, this copious breakfast can just about get you through until supper (ok\, maybe a snack along the way\, as you see fit).  Madeira is world famous for its stunning natural beauty and unique micro climate that boasts a truly fascinating depth and array of fauna and flora.  The volcanic origins of the island have created a mountainous interior surrounded by stunning Atlantic ocean – truly a jewel floating some 400 miles off the coast of Morocco.  The island is teeming with superb hiking and we will spend\nseveral afternoons exploring some of the islands best hikes with our very own guide.  Depending on timing of our hikes\, I will do my very best to serve you up an afternoon practice/meditation prior to us enjoying supper together in one of Madeiras superb restaurants.  As you might imagine\, seafood is a speciality here (the fresh sardines were a favorite)\, but the island is rich in agriculture with terraced farms and gardens adorning the landscape\, as well as meats sourced both on island and from the mainland of Portugal\, so all will be more than happy.  Superb Spa/massage treatments are available at the Grand\, as is a sauna\, indoor and outdoor pool\, fully equipped gym\, free wifi\, and several restaurants as well as room service. \nRetreat Includes: \n\nDaily (twice daily\, as schedule allows) Yoga & Meditation with Claire Copersino\nUnlimited American Breakfast with vast array of freshly prepared foods to suit every palate\n7 nights accommodations at Pestana Grand Hotel\nUse of all facilities at Pestana Grand (sauna\, jacuzzi\, turkish bath\, gym\, lounges\, free wifi in all public areas\n\nI will also arrange several (read: 4 or more) hikes for afternoons\, as well as evening meals at a variety of restaurants\, transportation to and from the airport and as needed\, all of which will incur additional costs that we will share. \nPrices for your Pleasure: \nDouble Occupancy\, shared room\, $1750 per person \nPrivate Room\, $2250 \nCurrently round trip flights to Madeira on TAP out of Newark are pricing at just under $1000.  It is best if we try to be on the same flights as much as possible – not by any means necessary but certainly easier for you.  As you make your deposit I will guide you on the flights to book.  Overnight flight departing Newark on September 26th to mainland Portugal (either Lisbon or Porto) arriving in morning of September 27th followed by connection to Funchal\, Madeira.  We will discuss. \nYour non-refundable deposit of $750 secures your spot.  Email me today at clairecopersino@optonline.net with your questions and to reserve.
