Check in from 2pm, Wednesday 9th September
Check out 9am Sunday 13th September
We invite you to Morocco birds, to a slice of paradise in the Atlas Mountains Kasbah Bab Ourika
Situated an easy 45min drive from Marrakesh Airport, nestled within the mountains. We have 4 days to immerse ourselves into the Atlas mountains. To reconnect with ourselves. To nourish ourselves with movement, adventure, rest & play.
This will be our fourth retreat at Kasbah Bab Ourika and we can promise you this is nothing short of a life shifting experience. The Atlas Mountains hold so much power we can't even begin to describe.
Our Morocco retreat has been elevated to offer the Mount Toubkal summit hike after the retreat ends. Founder Shani and five birds summited in 2024 and were blown away by the experience. In 2025 Shani and Charlie summited with three other birds and couldn't believe the emotional ride which came with the climb. We can't wait to be challenged and summit again.
The Vibe.
We might be biased, but to us and the hundreds of birds who have retreated with us the vibe on a Fitbirds retreat is like no other.
That beautiful community feel skips across oceans and is ready to wrap its wings around you. Charlie and Shani curate an itinerary which provides you with the foundations to tune into whatever it is you need. From creativity, movement, space to breath, to cry and to play.
From powerful and emotive Opening and Closing Ceremony's, mountain hikes, pool lounging, workshops to spark knowledge and curiosity. We are ready to elevate your life birds.
The Modalities.
Fitbirds are specialists in connecting women with their strongest and most aligned core. We integrate our Core Method into all of your movement on retreat. We believe in moving our body to keep us feeling youthful, pain free and confident.
By understanding the synchronicity of our diaphragm, deep core and pelvic floor we can then transform the way we connect and move our body.
From meditation, yoga and strength training we will teach you how to truly strengthen your core, mobilise your spine and ensure your pelvic floor is functioning optimally.
We will teach you practices and provide practical take home tools so you can continue your commitment to your fitness and wellness as you return to the real world.
Although the teachings are deep the practices are always inclusive and playful.

What an incredibly magical experience. The location was stunning, the food delicious, the view, out of this world, and the group were absolutely lovely. It felt comfortable from the minute we arrived and the bond in the group grew and grew over the five days. Our retreat hosts Shani & Charlie were so warm, so welcoming, so inclusive, so encouraging, so much fun and they went out of their way to make sure EVERYONE had a positive experience. The yoga and meditation were so emotive, the HIIT sessions so empowering, and the workshops provoked so many moments of clarity that I will take forward with me for the rest of my life….. From the bottom of my heart (somewhere I have struggled to previously find…) THANK YOU!!! xxx
