MOROCCO’S ATLANTIC COAST
The ocean pulls the artist and the child within you straight to the surface. Out here in North Africa, the waves are your muse. They humble you, hold you, and hand you back to yourself–– with or without a surfboard. Pilates fosters strength and stability to lean on, yoga keeps you balanced and grounded, and surfing reminds you what freedom feels like when you stop overthinking and start playing.
This retreat is an invitation to move, play, and create. The Art of Flow isn’t about perfection, it’s about what happens when you stop trying to control the moment and start letting it move you. Read aloud, it’s surf play pilates because that’s what we’re doing here: moving our bodies, making a little magic, and remembering how f*ing good it feels to let go and surrender.
This is for the ones who crave movement that feels like art. Raw. Real. Alive. For mornings that start with salt on your skin and end with laughter around the table. For the space between waves where everything slows down and you actually feel your breath again.
In Morocco, the coastline becomes our classroom and the current becomes our guide. Here, play is sacred, and so is presence. By the end of the week, you’ll leave stronger, softer, and more alive–– carrying the rhythm of surf play pilates long after you’ve left the shore.
Yoga is now. The first sutra reminds us that the practice begins in this very moment, not on the mat but in how we meet life itself. Marrakech isn’t a destination, it’s an initiation into presence–– a rush of color, sound, and spice that awakens you from within. This city pulls you into the moment without asking permission; she is stillness in motion.
You’ll arrive, drop your bags, and let curiosity lead the way for an adventure in awareness. Find your flow in the city that never stops moving. Wander the medina, explore the iconic Jardin Majorelle, or settle into our traditional Moroccan riad and bask by the rooftop pool, finding peace within the city’s pulse.
From deep within the medina, you’ll be enveloped by rooftop sunsets–– color, chaos, calm. Traveling here feels like stepping back in time yet landing somewhere wildly alive. Welcome to Marrakech, a full-body experience, a feast for the senses, and a warm, wild welcome into the art of being here, now.
We trade terracotta for tide, heading west toward Essaouira. The Sunday Souk calls, a Moroccan tradition alive with vintage finds, spices, and stories, waiting to be discovered. You’ll have time to explore and taste your way through the city, with a few local favorite cafés and coastal gems to guide you before we continue south toward the sea and our private surf house.
We arrive on the full moon, feeling the pull of the tide in real time. Tamraght is the kind of place that gets under your skin— sun-warmed, sand-dusted, and impossibly genuine. Mornings begin slow, with your host and guest facilitators guiding intentional Pilates practices before surf lessons that blend trust with technique.
Afternoons invite beach walks, mint tea, and wandering the hillside streets. Days unfold between sun and stillness, creative workshops, somatic sessions, medicinal movement, journaling, and open space for self-exploration and permission to be your fullest self.
We leave the coast behind and journey back toward Marrakech for an evening in a landscape that truly glows— the Agafay Desert. Drenched in golden light on tanned earth with an endless horizon, this is our magic desert glampsite, where stars rise as the sun drops and the jewel of the moon shimmers in the distance.
This final stop is where we’ll celebrate our farewell with traditional Moroccan fare and vibes woven in warmth, wonder, and wild beauty. Before airport departures, we’ll move together one last time with poolside yoga, a fresh-made breakfast, and the kind of hugs that never seem to end.

Wren moves through life the way she teaches: aligned with the rhythms of nature, driven by curiosity, and guided by the body’s intelligence.
She helps you create connections that remind you that healing is a feeling, one that begins in the body and ripples outward. With Wren, you’re invited to rediscover your deeper self, the ancient wisdom within you, and build full trust in your own becoming.
Her approach is down-to-earth and experiential— a reclamation of inner authority, a return to wholehearted embodiment, and rewilding— illustrating what it means to truly live in our bodies: to create and resonate from the inside out.
A cultivator of soil and soul, Wren weaves the wisdom of nature and the elements into her work as a holistic health coach, movement instructor, and retreat guide. She is an advocate for self-inquiry through your layered existence, holding space for you to arrive at the quiet knowing that feels like home.

Rooted in mindfulness and curiosity, Chelsea’s classes blend sculpting flow with mind-body connection, encouraging students to let go of perfection and move honestly and openly. Her approach celebrates movement as an act of rediscovery — one that connects you back to yourself and to the simple magic of being alive in this moment.
At Surf Play Pilates, Chelsea will be bringing her signature blend of grounded energy and playful exploration, helping you reconnect with your intuition, creativity, and sense of wonder — one breath, one movement, one moment at a time.
