Retreats

I’ve been running international yoga and wellness retreats in France, Spain, Portugal, and Morocco since 2018 and have clocked up 10+ sell-out retreats since first starting out in Marrakesh.

I like to think of going on a retreat as side-stepping the hum-drum of real life for a brief moment – like entering a beautiful kind of alternative reality – a bubble – with former and new found like-minded friends for a few days – this can be transformative – giving the mind, body and soul a holistic vacation!

You get to travel with purpose to a venue – usually in nature with great facilities – pool, massage, spa. You experience time out to disconnect from technology and from your role at home – wife, parent, worker etc – and become you – all of you for a few days – it’s priceless.

You have time and space to stop overthinking – to talk – really talk to other people like you about life, love, and all the bigger things you can suddenly notice – when you don’t have day to day nonsense to deal with clogging up your primitive brain. You get to drop into the body and out of the mind – a gift in these busy lives we lead – allowing you to check in and connect to all of you.

And you might just meet some great people that become long term retreat friends – that you’ll bump into time and time again.

Testimonial:

‘Attending the yoga retreat in Malaga organized by Lucy Heaton Wellbeing was an unforgettable experience. The combination of invigorating ice baths, a mesmerizing sound bath arranged by an expert, nutritious food, the formation of friendships, and the well-organized nature of the retreat made it a truly transformative journey. Lucy’s expertise, guidance, and genuine care for each participant created an environment that allowed us to let go, rejuvenate, and return home with a renewed sense of well-being. I highly recommend Lucy’s retreats to anyone seeking a holistic and enriching yoga experience.’

Retreats 2025

Finding your Mojo: Morocco / Marrakesh, March 8th – 12th 2025
An eco-haven for peaceful balance

For me – escaping the western European winter in March feels like a small win in this life – one minute you are in jumpers and darkness – the next – snoozing on a sun lounger like a happy cat – it never fails to make me smile!

Why not join me and fast-forward into Spring and 25 degrees. On an impressive open 2.5 ha estate in the middle of wheat and olive fields with a breathtaking view of the Atlas, two adobe villages include stylish, comfortable rooms and suites combining modern facilities and Moroccan decoration.

Close to the Red City (30 mins), its museums, historical places and attractions, Quaryati is a haven of peace where you will find relaxation and serenity in the calm of the countryside. You can taste family and authentic Moroccan cuisine prepared with fresh and permaculture products.

For your well-being, you can enjoy the beautiful 20m swimming pool, massages, cosmetic treatments, a good scrub at the spa/hamman, yoga sessions, the stunning garden and a walk in the surrounding countryside.

A few minutes from Quaryati you can visit the Anima garden, the Saffron Paradise or discover the beautiful valleys of the Atlas.

I just love Morocco and can never wait to get back, this time taking you guys with me to experience it for yourselves.

No retreat would be complete unless we venture into the heart of Marrakesh – so there’s an optional excursion into the Red City to the YSL Gardens or free exploration time to roam the Medina and artisan shops) then we’ll meet for a late rooftop lunch at Les Terrasses des Arts – not to be missed!

Testimonial:

’Lucy rushed to meet me on my late arrival, she radiated warmth, and compassion and I was put at ease. The other attendees also with no exception were genuine in their welcome of me. This feeling of being part of the most positive group ever remained at each crevice in the stay, from laying quietly on our mat at the end of a yoga session to our joyous evening meals together and chit chat around the pool. To present yoga to a group of people all at different levels is no mean fete. But it was achieved!! How?? I will never know! It was glorious no competitiveness all at ease but feeling they had worked hard.I can say with honesty this was an experience I don’t think can be beaten, but maybe equaled! The friends I have made will be for ever, my feelings of joy will not be dimmed. Thanks!‘
