I highly recommended Awaken Yog. Oliwia our instructors is the most wonderful and warm peron. I join one of hers private retreat in a small group in Lossiemouth in Moray. We spend all weekend doing yoga, meditation and cooking delicious vegan foods (even I'm not vegan but was superb). Location was amazing a yoga on the beach with spectacular sunset. I can't wait for another weekend away.

Here are my thoughts and summaries still not fully digested, still open to new discoveries after what had been a wonderful journey.

During one of the first yoga retreats organised by Awaken Yog, focus was on our embodiment of various places, spaces and landscapes of Morocco. As our connection with the places, spaces and landscapes was growing, Oliwia was carefully weaving various yoga practices into the fabric of the programme. For example her 'Welcoming practice' was inscribed into a relaxing, beautifully designed space of Marrakesh riad/hotel. She offered it in the evening to turn down the volume of sound experiences during the day. By using rose petals from the local market and their scent, she guided us into the dreamy state before going to bed and before another busy day.

While in the Atlas mountains, Oliwia adjusted the yoga practice to the surrounding landscape and another riad space - she offered the session on one of the rooftops/terraces of the building to harmonise us with the hills around as a symbol of uplifting. The programme was packed but not overwhelming. Oliwia kept calm in difficult moments, she was caring and thoughtful and in a wonderful relationship with the driver. Her attitude and organisational skills balanced out the intensity and made the whole experience deep and meaningful. I will certainly do it again.

“Just wanted to say a big THANK YOU for such an incredible adventure! The trip to Morocco was intense, full-on, and absolutely worth every minute. I can’t stop thinking about it - which probably means I’ll be back there one day.

Every single place we visited could be a perfect little spot for a relaxing yoga retreat - each one with its own vibe and energy. And Oliwia, your calm, yogi voice is unbeatable. I honestly felt like that (long!) mountain yoga session lasted 15 minutes… Magic!?

Thanks again for the experience, the laughs, the food - and all the little moments in between. Can’t wait for the next adventure”.

“ Awaken Yog provides with a great, positive atmosphere for everyone attending! Oliwia is a friendly, patient and talented teacher. Her classes work wonders for body and mind. Additional activities are fab. I highly recommend booking her sessions!!! “

I attended Oliwia’s yoga classes, and can highly recommend her. She is an excellent yoga instructor who tailors the yoga sessions to the individual needs of people attending.
