Yoga in the sand dunes, a dip in the cool swimming pool, a camel ride through the Sahara, sand art and much more is possible on our Yoga Holiday in the Sahara which being planned meticulously by Annette Drews. Annette has built up a school project in the region with the Gnawa to which she regularly brings university students and is working on bringing women from Network East-West for some teaching sessions.
PARTICIPANTS: All are welcome, also spouses and friends of yoga or Network East-West.
ACCOMODATION: Ali's Hotel (with swimming pool as of lately). Since there are only 15 double rooms, please sign up early. The rooms will be assigned on a first-come-first-serve basis. There is also possibility of sleeping in a Berber Tent (group accomodation) in the village of the Gnawa (20 minutes walking distance from the Hotel).

We may ask Ramona Faltin to arrange a sight seeing program for those of us who want to arrive a few days early and explore Marrakesh.
PROGRAMM IDEAS: Morning yoga classes in the sand dunes, Meditation under the desert sky; Walks in the Sahara; Camel tour with overnight stay in an oasis; music and dance workshop with the Gnawa; visit of the school of the Gnawa; visit of carpet weaving Berber community: ride through the sand dunes in 4-wheel drive and any workshops which the women attending might want to offer (e.g., painting, sand art, massage, voice workshop). The program will be spontaneous and adjusted to the needs and wishes of the group.

There is the possibility to extend the stay there or to trek to Mount Toubkal (via Marrakesh and Imlil): Toubkal hut is at 3200 meters and quite a manageable trek. If you want to climb to Toubkal summit (4167 m), join Natalya Dvortsova and her husband. (E-mail: NDvortsova(at)armi-marketing.com)
