Each day (except Thursdays) from sunrise to sunset, the Paradis Plage Yoga team welcomes you in our Yoga shala for dynamic and relaxing sessions. A beachfront location with glass sliding doors open onto the swaying grasses and the vast Atlantic Ocean. The view is one of sand and sea, really breathtaking and the perfect place to practice yoga. Go on a journey of sensory exploration, into states of being, where awareness of posture and breath become tools for creating greater vitality, relaxation, calmness and well-being.
➤ Qualified and experienced yoga professionals offer a range of different classes including Hatha Yoga, Vinyasa and Yin Yoga.
The sunrise one at 8.00 am is waking you up, the 11.00 one is giving you energy and the sunset one at 17.30 is relaxing while helping to release the mind. In particular for the latter one, we recommend to show up at least 15 minutes before as there is limited capacity, and it is usually the preferred one.
YOGA CLASSES
- Paradise Yoga Shala offer 3 yoga classes per day.
- Private lessons are available upon request.
8 am - SUNRISE YOGA
Explore the Sun Salutations. We work the postures that are included in this sequence separate, and towards the end we will perform the Sun Salutations with little variations. The emphasis is on combining the movement with the breath in an active flow. A perfect way to start the day.
11 am - SENSE OF YOGA
We keep it more like a laboratory. Here we ask the students if they would like to work on something special or explore postures/ asanas. The emphasis is on the alignment, correcting and fine tuning.
5:30 pm SUNSET YOGA
It’s Yin Yoga. A very singular approach of yoga compared to all the other more active yoga styles. Here the emphasis is on relaxing the body and the mind. An approach that is closer to meditation where we want to stress our connective tissue in our body to become more supple and working on releasing and opening our articulations. A perfect way to finish the day

KARSTEN KROLL - YOUR YOGA GURU AT PARADIS PLAGE RESORT
" Being a dancer for contemporary dance and a practitioner for acupressure point massage, my body is my sanctuary. And that’s the foundation of my yoga practice/ teaching. Be comfortable in and taking care of our own body and respecting who we are."
During the yoga sessions, you will learn to connect the body with the mind and the movement with the breath and learn how to properly perform the yoga positions/ asanas. Most importantly, however, is to enjoy the practice and what we are doing.

VISIT AGADIR
If you can drag yourself away from Taghazout itself, nearby Agadir is well worth a visit. It takes just 30 minutes by car to reach Morocco’s largest beach resort, with its palm-lined boulevards and 10-kilometer beachfront promenade. You can spend your day admiring million-dollar yachts in Agadir Marina, or learning more about Berber culture with a visit to Musée du Patrimoine Amazigh. Agadir’s elevated medieval kasbah was one of the few districts to survive the earthquake that ravaged the city in 1960. Wander its narrow streets to discover beautiful examples of Islamic architecture, punctuated sporadically by dizzying ocean views. If you’re in need of a souvenir or two to take home, you’ll find everything from artisan crafts and clothing to spices and rugs at the large and famous Souk El Had market.
There is a free shuttle from the hotel to Agadir twice per day (except Thursdays). Please ask the reception about it, as many guests take a taxi and then have to pay around €20 per way.
HIKING IN PARADISE VALLEY
Visit Paradise Valley, a secret oasis situated in the foothills of the High Atlas Mountains. After a 45-minute drive into the interior, you’ll hike for 20 minutes to reach a series of pools and waterfalls, hidden in a gorge flanked by sheer limestone cliffs. For some, it’s enough to simply lounge by the water and enjoy the scenery. For others, the clear turquoise water beckons, providing a wonderful way to cool off after working up a sweat on the hike. If you are truly adventurous, the cliffs on either side of the pools are perfect for rock-jumping. There are stalls selling freshly squeezed orange juice, and a small café that serves mouthwatering Moroccan tagines. The valley is most impressive during the wetter winter months, when the water is in full flow.
