   the pause   

The Pause Retreat with Nando Eiden and Felicia Walker is an invitation to step away from the hustle of everyday life and gift yourself the rest you deserve. Together, we will practice yoga, take excursions into the breathtaking nature of Morocco, relax by the mountain spring pool, and savor the serenity of lush gardens. This retreat is all about allowing yourself to unwind, reconnect, and recharge in a peaceful and nourishing environment. Join us for this well-earned pause to embrace stillness and joy.

25.04.-02.05.2026

We will start our journey together with an evening practice on Saturday the 5th. And conclude with a morning practice and breakfast on Sunday the 2nd.

During The Pause Retreat, we will practice yoga together in the serene yoga shala or on the rooftop terrace, offering breathtaking views of the Atlas Mountains. All necessary equipment—mats, blocks, straps, and blankets—is provided on-site, though you're welcome to bring your own if you prefer.

Each yoga session will be rooted in Vinyasa Yoga/Jivamukti Yoga, harmonizing movement and breath. To enrich the experience, we will incorporate meditations, elements of Restorative Yoga, and chanting, creating a balanced and deeply nourishing practice. This holistic approach ensures that your body, mind, and spirit are equally embraced during our time together.

WHAT?

  • Nando:

    I discovered yoga in 1999 with my first sun salutation and have been practicing ever since. The connection of movement and breath instantly fascinated me, but what keeps me inspired is the meditative stillness and clarity it brings. I’m deeply grateful for the teachers who have guided me along the way and whose precise instruction and wisdom have shaped my practice.

    Alongside yoga, I study Traditional Chinese Medicine, exploring its beautiful parallels ・ the unity of body, mind, and spirit, and the art of nourishing life energy. I’m excited to share this journey with you.

    Felicia:

    Introduced to yoga by my mother at a young age, I grew up surrounded by mantra, Bhakti, Sivananda and Jivamukti Yoga teachings. At 15, I found my Yoga home in Jivamukti Yoga, a practice that continues to shape my life. My path has led me through many studies, travels, and teachings, sharing yoga, bhakti, and the love of the practice with students and new teachers alike.
