YOGA & Adventure RETREAT
A Journey of Culture, Community, & Connection
October 12-18, 2025
The Retreat
With SJY Founder Jordan Ashley and yoga teacher and Reiki practitioner Joanne Silver, we took a transformative journey through Morocco. This yoga retreat was designed to provide a unique blend of cultural immersion, adventure, and relaxation. Together with Itran Travel, we crafted an unforgettable experience that took us through the vibrant streets of Marrakech & the scenic nature of the High Atlas Mountains. All while supporting local communities & empowering women throughout our journey!
Our accommodations were carefully chosen to reflect the beauty and authenticity of Morocco. From the serene, lush oasis of Villa Ishtar to the mountain retreat of Ksar Shama, we stayed in locally-owned, intimate settings with stunning views of the Atlas Mountains.
We are deeply committed to giving back through our collaboration with Association Amal. We donated directly to supporting their vocational training programs, helping women in Morocco gain valuable skills to rewrite their stories and enter the workforce with confidence which go directly to supporting their vocational training programs, helping women in Morocco gain valuable skills to rewrite their stories and enter the workforce with confidence. We enjoyed a hands-on baking class while learning about the organization’s women’s empowerment initiatives.
