Meet Your Guide

I’ve guided hundreds of students through yoga practices and immersive retreats, centered on guiding people into deeper connection with themselves, each other, and the natural world.

For me, retreats are about creating space: space to breathe, to move, to feel deeply, and to rediscover joy. Marrakesh has been calling for years, and I can’t wait to share the energy, beauty, and richness of Morocco with you.

Hi, I’m Nicole — E-RYT 500, founder of The Nest, and retreat facilitator.

This is Your Invitation

Take a week for yourself to slow down, to explore, to reconnect. Let Marrakesh awaken something in you.

Remember — Our retreats are intentionally small to allow for the deepest transformation and most meaningful connections. Because of this, space is limited and our retreats always sell out.

For this experience in Marrakesh, only 7 rooms are available. Secure your spot early to ensure you don’t miss out on this unforgettable journey.

Frequently Asked Questions

still have questions?

We’d love to connect. Reach out anytime if you want to talk details, or just dream about Morocco together. Just shoot an email over to hello@nestmovementstudio.com

do i need to have yoga experience to join?

Yoga is a deeply personal experience that meets you where you are. Our retreats are designed for all levels, from total beginners to seasoned practitioners. Classes will include options and modifications so you can practice in a way that feels right for you.

will there be free time to explore?

Yes! While we have an amazing schedule of practices, excursions, and group activities, we’ve also built in plenty of free time so you can rest or explore at your own pace. Whether you want to wander through Marrakesh’s colorful souks, lounge by the pool, or simply soak up the retreat house atmosphere, you’ll have space to make the experience your own.

what is the retreat cancellation policy?

Because retreats require advance planning and upfront costs, all payments are non-refundable. That said, your spot can be transferred to another person. If you can no longer attend, we’ll do our best on our end to help find someone to fill your spot so that you can be reimbursed.

will dietary restrictions be accommodated?

Yes! We’ll collect dietary information after booking and make sure our chef and restaurant partners are aware. Please let us know your needs so we can plan accordingly.

what should i pack?

Once we get closer to the retreat, we’ll send you a detailed packing guide. Essentials include activity-appropriate clothes, comfortable walking shoes, layers, and a spirit of adventure.

what's the nearest airport

Marrakesh Menara Airport (RAK). Transportation to and from the retreat villa is included.

do i need a visa?

Travelers from the United States staying less than 90 days do not need a visa to enter Morocco.

is it safe to travel to morocco?

Yes — Morocco is widely considered one of the safest countries to visit in North Africa, and Marrakesh in particular is very accustomed to welcoming international travelers. Like any travel abroad, common sense goes a long way: stay aware of your belongings, respect local customs, and travel with the group when possible. During the retreat, all transportation and excursions will be organized, and our group will be together for the majority of the trip.

what vaccines do i need?

If you’ve had the standard vaccines required for school, you’re already well-covered. The only additional vaccine typically recommended for Morocco is typhoid. As always, please consult your doctor or a travel clinic for the most up-to-date recommendations and to make sure you’re prepared based on your personal health history.

i want to come, but don't have anyone to share a room with. Can i still book a double?

At this time, double rooms must be booked as a pair. If you’re traveling solo, we recommend booking a single room.

"They know how to keep it fun regardless of your experience level."

The instructors are really great and each have their own style so you can get a work out in, get some recovery work in, or learn about breathwork & meditation. They know how to keep it fun regardless of your experience level.”
