Question 1

What is Yogavibe?

Accepted Answer

Yogavibe is a Belgian yoga-retreat company founded in 2017 by yoga instructor Charlotte Schoeters. We run small-group yoga retreats in Morocco (Essaouira and Marrakech), custom retreats for companies, friend groups and yoga teachers, and yoga / soundbath workshops in Antwerp. Maximum 12 guests, two daily classes, real food, no spiritual fluff.

Question 2

Where does Yogavibe host retreats?

Primarily in Essaouira and Marrakech, Morocco, where we have long-term partnerships with private riads, surf instructors, hammams and pottery studios. We have also hosted retreats in Phuket, Thailand, and we design custom retreats elsewhere on request.

Question 3

Are the Yogavibe retreats suitable for beginners?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Roughly half of our guests are new-ish to yoga. Classes are taught at three levels in the same room (beginner, intermediate, deeper variations) so you choose your pace.

Question 4

I'm travelling solo. Will I feel comfortable on a Yogavibe retreat?

Accepted Answer

About 60% of our guests come solo. Single rooms are available. Groups are small (maximum 12) so the feeling is intimate by day two.

Question 5

What is included in the price of a Yogavibe retreat?

Accepted Answer

Accommodation (4 to 6 nights depending on the retreat), three daily meals, two daily yoga classes, one daily activity (rotating: surf, horseback, hammam, pottery, cooking, medina walk) and airport transfers. Flights are not included.

Question 6

How much does a Yogavibe retreat cost?

Accepted Answer

Group retreats start from €1,050 per person for a 4-night Essaouira retreat in twin sharing. Single rooms are €1,350. Custom retreats start from €950 per person, all inclusive of accommodation, food, classes, activities and transfers.

Question 7

Can I book a private retreat for my company or group of friends?

Accepted Answer

Yes, custom retreats are a core part of what we do. Full riad takeover for groups of 8 to 18, with a custom-built schedule. Charlotte's tour-guide background (Thomas Cook, TUI fly) means logistics are handled professionally. Contact charlotte@yogavibe.eu.

Question 8

Who is Charlotte Schoeters?

Accepted Answer

Charlotte Schoeters is the founder and lead teacher of Yogavibe. Born in Antwerp, Belgium, certified yoga instructor since 2015 (trained in Costa Rica), with a background as a tour guide for Thomas Cook and TUI fly. She teaches Vinyasa, Yin, Pilates, breathwork and soundbath.

Question 9

How challenging is the yoga at a Yogavibe retreat?

Accepted Answer

Two classes a day: a stronger morning practice (typically Vinyasa or Rocket) and a gentler afternoon or evening session (Yin or Pilates). Most guests are intermediate. We teach to multiple levels in the same room and never push anyone past their edge.

Question 10

What is the cancellation policy?

The €500 deposit is non-refundable. The balance is due 45 days before departure. Once paid in full, no part of the retreat fee is refundable; bookings can be transferred to another retreat within 12 months by agreement.

For Essaouira retreats, fly into Marrakech (RAK) and we arrange the airport transfer (about 2.5 hours by road) or fly directly into Essaouira (ESU).
