The Venue: Sharazâd Boutique Hotel
We will be staying at Sharazad Boutique Hotel, a small and charming four-star boutique hotel in Jambiani on the East-coat of Zanzibar with a sublimely relaxed atmosphere. The hotel has a beach restaurant & bar, a spa, and 3 swimming pools along with a Vietnamese and Italian restaurant to explore.
The whole area is surrounded by lush tropical vegetation and gazes over the expansive Indian Ocean. The rooms are a combination of villas and bungalows. There are single and shared rooms available. In 2019 I first visited here and fell in love with the whole ambiance and concept of the hotel.
Since then I hosted a memorable retreat here in 2022. The location and the experience of the stay are unique and will leave you with unforgettable memory and deep nourishment. I am thrilled to go back to this paradise. Sharazâd Boutique Hotel is located right on the beach in Jambiani, a beautiful picturesque village on the South East Coast of Zanzibar. The whole area is surrounded by lush tropical vegetation and gazes over the expansive Indian Ocean. The location is unique and the view will definitely take your breath away.
Yoga & Sample Daily Schedule
The practice is all-level at the beautiful and spacious yoga Shala. Take your practice to a deeper level through mindful Vinyasa flow yoga approach, breathing techniques, and powerful meditations.
You will be guided into asanas with safe, clear instructions through well-combined sequences themed specially for each day. The sequence is based on healthy alignment of the body, and a pathway to enhance your vital energy (prana), tone and open up all layers of your body.
There are two practices daily. Morning practice begins with sunrise meditation to welcome the day. Morning asana practice is focused on connecting movement and breath to awaken your energy and move it through all energy centers (chakras). Authentic and creative sequence is designed by Mie for each day and it will create heat in our bodies through purifying breathing practices and well-rounded body movement. Evening yoga sessions are to bring you back into the present moment and to help you release deep-seated tension in your muscles and tissues. You will be able to surrender and relax with a combination of yin practice, yoga nidra and sound. These sessions will help you to calm the nervous system, find stillness and invite positive energy towards the end of the day. Both sessions conclude with a profound full-body relaxation & sound healing.
Our schedule is diverse, to make sure you feel nourished in every possible way. So, your day could look like this, but every day is different!
