A 10-days Yin journey that will lead you from an ancient ‘lost’, hidden city into the depths of a breathtaking red desert.

Jordan is a very safe country with lots of tourists but doesn't have the all-inclusive-tourist style. Jordan is filled with culture and has a lot to offer in a reasonably small country, a bit bigger than Ireland but a smaller than Portugal. To travel Jordan you don't need to spend hours and hours in a car. Jordan has many archaeological sites that are worth visiting but one of them is probably on your bucket list : Petra - “It is like a fairy tale city, all pink and wonderful.” The Rose city is indeed enchantingly beautiful but when I visited Jordan it was the Wadi Rum desert that stole my heart and what made me fall in love with this country. I would like to share my love for Jordan and Yin yoga with you by offering a journey from a hidden rose city to a fairy tale of Arabian nights under a starry sky in a red desert where granite rocks become statues.

Feedback from participant in 2022 :

You can do yoga in your sitting room, you can do yoga in your local community centre, but nothing will compare to doing yoga in the beautiful Wadi Rum desert! Marion is a knowledgeable and passionate teacher of yin yoga. As well as introducing us to this style of yoga she was a warm, open and hard working guide to our adventure in Jordan.

The tour strikes a good balance between a yoga retreat and a cultural tour. A couple of days spent exploring Petra while staying at the Petra Fig guesthouse with Yolanda was delightful with her lovely company and home cooked food.

We also felt lucky to spent several nights in the desert, 3 of which were sleeping under the stars which was an unforgettable experience. This, combined with daily yoga sessions, was really magical. It also felt incredibly authentic being in the care of Bedouin guides who made camp and cooked our plentiful meals.

We would highly recommend this tour as a wonderful way in to yin yoga with Marion and a fantastic alternative way of exploring Jordan.

* Short description of the retreat

We will meet each other in Aqaba to meet the middle Eastern culture and the next day will drive to Wadi Musa, the valley where the hidden city of Petra lies. We'll spend 2 days there and then move to the Wadi Rum desert, where we will travel as Bedouins from one place to another, setting up (wild) camp where we end the day, sleeping under the starry sky. We will immerse into the magical energy and silence of this Red sand desert. This journey will be intense and leave an everlasting memory.
