PANCHA FLOW
15 – 20 July 2026 | Essaouira, Morocco​​
5 day Yoga Synergy Retreat with Karen van Buitenen & Tash Ward
on Morocco’s wild Atlantic coast
Join Tash and Karen for Pancha Flow, a five-day Yoga Synergy retreat inspired by the Pancha Mahabhuta, the five elements of Ayurveda that compose both the human body and all of nature: Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Ether.
​
Through movement, meditation, mantra, and mindful living, you’ll explore these elements within yourself, restore harmony, and connect deeply with the natural world around you.
​
This retreat is a chance to rediscover yourself through intelligent movement, ancient wisdom, and philosophical introspection and ayurvedic insights in a shared experience under the Moroccan sun.
Your Hosts
Tash and Karen first met more than ten years ago in Cape Town while completing their advanced teacher training with their mentor, Jim Harrington and thereafter both completed their Yoga Synergy training with Simon Borg-Olivier.
They both continue to integrate their knowledge and experiences with both teachers in their own practice and teachings, whilst constantly evolving and developing their own interpretation of Yoga Synergy and all the tools transferred to them from their teachers.
​
Their paths have crossed many times since, in studios, in the Himalayas, and most recently on retreat with their teacher once again.
With so many synchronicities in their yoga journeys, it felt only natural to co-create a retreat together, one that celebrates community & wellbeing through movement, blending the elements that unite us all.
Your Sanctuary
Discover serenity in an eco-conscious haven perched in the heights of Sidi Kaouki, just 20km from Essaouira.
​
Nestled within a thuya forest and overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, this eco-luxe retreat space invites you to unwind in harmony with nature. The house is energy self-sufficient, powered entirely by solar panels, and built from stone, clay, and wood using traditional techniques that naturally thermoregulate the space.
​
Grey water is reused to water the surrounding soil and plants, every detail reflecting a deep respect for the earth and its resources.
​
Wake up to panoramic ocean views, breathe in the salt air, and let the rhythm of the waves set the tone for your days of practice and rest.
What to Expect
Each day blends Yoga Synergy practices, philosophy, and Ayurvedic principles to help you move with ease, understand your unique body type, and deepen your connection to yourself and the world around you.
​
Expect a gentle , grounding immersion into yourself - beginning the day quietly, creating space for presence. Explore different yoga practices to recalibrate and shift frequency so you can return to a vibrant and anchored body
