RETREAT PROGRAM
La Vida Surf + Acromion acroyoga retreat is more than a holiday—it is a week‑long immersion that blends movement, culture, and wild Moroccan landscapes into one seamless adventure.
By the time Wednesday’s farewell breakfast arrives, you’ll have a new vocabulary of poses, a camera roll full of mid‑air smiles, and friendships strong enough to span continents. The retreat ends, but the afterglow—and the confidence to keep playing—travels home with you.
YOUR AcroYOGA workshops
You will begin your mornings with a movement class or a playful circus inspired class to open and warm up your body. Followed by an acroyoga workshop that lasts 120 minutes and takes place at the rooftop shala with a stunning 360 degree view.
The workshops offer a safe, in-depth exploration of the world of acroyoga, where you experience the empowering qualities of the practice. Learning to trust and earning trust, realising your potential, tapping into your power and lots of laughter together with others.
Your evening classes are designed to give your body and mind time to recap the themes from morning practice and add more challenge where needed. Every class is themed, varying from more detailed techniques to therapeutic flying to jamming and creating your own flows.
By the end of this retreat, you’ll feel stronger, more open, and deeply connected—to yourself and to others. You’ll gain confidence in your body and in your ability to support and be supported, both on and off the mat. Through play, movement, and shared challenge, you’ll rediscover joy, trust, and the power of true presence. What stays with you won’t just be the skills you’ve learned, but the feeling of being part of a community that lifts each other up—literally and figuratively.
