🏤 Boutique Mountain Kasbah Living
Wake to sweeping terraces and cinematic views of Mount Toubkal’s majestic peak in our luxurious, award-winning retreat, nestled in the trailhead village of Imlil. Just 40 miles from Marrakech—yet seemingly a world away from the city’s bustle—this is a place where peace and tranquility truly prevail.
Perched above the village, the Kasbah offers panoramic views of mountains, valleys, and cascading waterfalls. It is reached by a scenic 15-minute uphill walk from Imlil, while mules transport guests’ luggage on arrival and departure, adding to the authentic mountain experience.
Enjoy daily guided walks through the breathtaking Atlas landscapes, unwind in the traditional hammam, or relax beside the infinity pool overlooking extraordinary views.
Step outside your room into crisp mountain air, profound stillness, and the kind of silence that gently recalibrates your nervous system.
🏤 Private Luxury Wellness Riad in the
Heart of Marrakech Medina
Step through the doors and leave the rhythm of the souks behind. Within the ancient walls of the Medina, this private luxury riad becomes an intimate sanctuary for deep restoration and renewal.
Each serene en-suite room is thoughtfully designed as a personal retreat — a quiet haven where you can rest, restore, and reconnect. From the moment you arrive, your mind and body are the priority. Every detail supports relaxation, presence, and soulful balance.
Slow living is not only embraced — it is gently cultivated. The holistic setting invites spiritual nourishment, inner stillness, and mindful restoration.
A heated saltwater pool rests within lush courtyard gardens. A state-of-the-art yoga and sound healing shala holds space for practice and transformation. The rooftop terrace becomes a sacred gathering place for sunset mint tea rituals as the call to prayer echoes across the Medina.
This retreat is more than a stay.
It is an invitation into balance, renewal, and personal growth — guided and held with intention.

I didn’t realize how much I needed this until I was there. Everything was handled with such care and intention that I was able to fully relax and just be present. From the accommodations to the schedule to the smallest thoughtful touches, it all felt effortless and nurturing. I left feeling lighter, clearer, and deeply supported. The connections I made were unexpected gifts — I truly feel like I gained lifelong friends. I’m already counting the days until the next YoDa retreat.

The moment I stepped into the YoDa Flow Studio, I felt seen and safe. Because that’s the magic about practicing with Lydia — whether at a dance improv workshop, a hatha yoga class, or a sound healing session — she helps you feel like the most important person in the room, yet equally, part of a marvelous community. I immediately relax into every guided session and enjoy it to the fullest. I've gained lifelong new friends thanks to attending YoDa; I imagine the Morocco retreat will be just as joyful!

I met Lidia at an ecstatic dance, and we connected almost instantly. Her positive, loving energy and her deep need for expression through movement really touched me. Since then, being part of her dance community and day events, I’ve seen how naturally she inspires trust, leadership, and a sense of true companionship — not through talk or preaching, but through shared experience, fun, and genuine connection. I’m really looking forward to a retreat with her; I’m sure it will be adventurous and deeply nourishing, infused with nature and beauty, just like Yoda Space itself.

I love that Lidia took care of all of the big and small details so truly, all I needed to do was show up and everything went so smoothly! It's rare that you feel truly cared for in mind, body, and spirit, but that's exactly how I felt. I also loved building relationships with the other participants who are now close friends- I can't wait to go on another YoDa retreat!

Lidia is a wonderful yoga teacher who brings a warm, nourishing energy while cultivating curiosity for life and self expression. She creates safe spaces for realignment, reflection and soulful connection. If you feel a call to open your heart, unwind the body and tune into inner peace with self and community, don’t hesitate to join one of her offerings. I can’t wait to return!

Lidia’s infectious personality and genuine warmth made me feel instantly comfortable in this new environment. Her sense of fun made the experience full of belly laughs and shared excitement, yet I always felt in good hands with regard to feeling safe and truly well looked after.

Hi, I’m Lidia.
I’m the founder of YoDa Studio in Setúbal, Portugal — a boutique yoga and dance space devoted to movement, embodied awareness, creative expression, and genuine community. It’s a place where people come to breathe deeper, move freely, sweat a little, laugh a lot, and reconnect with themselves and each other.
I was born in Bulgaria and spent 23 years in New York City before life gently (and not so gently) nudged me toward change during the pandemic. That leap reshaped everything. It brought me closer to nature, to my family, and to a slower, more intentional way of living.
My path has always been one of curiosity and devotion. I have traveled to India multiple times, immersing myself in its spiritual traditions and studying with incredible teachers. Over the years, I’ve completed extensive trainings and certifications in yoga and embodied practices - not to collect credentials, but because I’ve always been searching for something deeper, something true.
What I share on retreat isn’t something scripted or performed. It’s lived. It’s explored. It’s real.
I move between Portugal, Morocco, and the United States, creating retreats in places that feel meaningful to me — places where I have roots, relationships, and stories. I choose environments that feel beautiful, soulful, and just a little bit magical.
I’m also a mother of two, a dancer at heart, a traveler, and a design junkee. I love good music, deep conversations, barefoot mornings, and spontaneous joy. I believe healing doesn’t have to be heavy.
Growth can feel light. Transformation can include laughter.
When you join a retreat with me, you won’t be stepping into something rigid or intimidating. You’ll be stepping into a space that is intentional, elevated, and welcoming — where you are encouraged to be fully yourself.
Come as you are.
Move. Rest. Explore. Connect.
You’ll arrive as a participant.
