Jan Žalud

My name is Jan and I am your breath guide...

In my therapies, I emphasize the creation of a safe space in which all emotions and other expressions are welcome. Wherever you are in your life, through breath you can reach your full potential in your own original way. In my therapies, I combine practical exercises with theory. Functional breath with therapeutic breath. The path of breath is not the path of following your guru. It is a path to oneself. Activating your inner potential.

Arrival to the wonderland

DAY 1 ~ Marhaba. Welcome!

Arrival in Marrakesh. We will meet after arrival at the airport, we will take a comfortable transfer to Riyadh (hotel), where a welcome ritual will await us - real Moroccan mint tea and typical Moroccan cookies. We start our stay by slowing down and relaxing in our beautiful Riad and enjoying a home cooked Moroccan dinner in the evening with a beautiful sunset.

City of miracles - Marrakech

Day 2 ~ Old Medina, Berber Markets, Jemaa Elfna and Koutoubia Mosque.

Let´s have a breakfast cause Marrakech awaits us. Red City, Daughter of the Desert, Gateway to the Mountains, Pearl of the South and Baghdad of the West. A vibrant city where colors, smells, tastes and experiences heighten the senses. The city of miracles.

We will start to discover the beauties of Marrakesh in an ecological way. He who does not try, will not believe. After a few hours on a bike, we guarantee that you will be able to find your way around the old city - the medina - and you will become a real local Marrakchi. Together with young, local guides, at a pleasant pace, we will discover the hidden gems and corners of Marrakech, known only to locals and which usually remain hidden from tourists. In the afternoon, the markets in the old medina await us, for which we will allocate enough time. Because what we will see here together will far exceed our expectations. You can find here everything you can think of - beautiful Berber jewelry, fragrant spices, hand-decorated dresses like from 1000 and 1 Nights, typical Moroccan babouche shoes, leather handbags, hand-woven baskets, masterfully forged lamps, alabaster statues, precious stones and crystals, traditional Berber carpets. Early evening return to the hotel, dinner.

The magic of the ancestors, the valley of beauty and the Berber culture

Day 3 ~ The Atlas Mountains, the desert, and the legacy of ancestors 

Breakfast and we will set out together to explore the clean and unspoilt landscape, experience traditional Moroccan life up close, and feel the exciting scenery of the majestic High Atlas Mountains.

Do you think that carpets do nothing for you? When you connect to the legacy of the ancestors through their powerful magic, believe that everything will be different. This whole ritual has its own certain rules. You have to lie down on your carpet and think, touch it with your feet and hands, and drink at least two cups of tea. And then it happens. Your carpet will attract you, normally like when love happens, only this is not between a woman and a man but between you and that carpet. This is how it works in this powerful magical land - the carpet will call you at the moment when you are ready to light up and activate the next diamond of your soul through symbols, colors, and the legacy of your ancestors

Marrakech - enchanting beauty all around

Day 4 ~ Majorelle gardens, YSL museum, local HAMMAM experience

We wake up to the sound of the museon's voice calling the faithful to prayer. The iconic gardens of the Jardin Majorelle in the Gueliz district await us. After Jemaa El Fna Square, the second most visited place in Marrakech. Yves Saint Laurent's gift to a city that welcomed him with open arms after a very tumultuous period of life's ups and downs. 300 plant species from 5 continents.

In the afternoon, optional - a local HAMMAM experience is possible to enjoy.  Hammam is a traditional spa ritual, after which time and space take on a completely different dimension. The ritual, which is above all beneficial for the body and mind, has played an important role in Moroccan culture for centuries. The combination of heat and pure herbal preparations means that there are few treatments in the world as effective as the hammam. A traditional hammam procedure followed by a massage with the option of ancient massage techniques that have been passed down from generation to generation.

Love and happiness in the city of freedom

Day 5 ~ Essaouira. A city of beautiful sandy beaches, surfers and freedom

We wake up and get up to the singing of the muezzin's voice. Early breakfast and we leave for Essaouira. The memory of Jimmy Hendrix and the hippie movement, white houses, majestic palm trees, ocher city walls and golden beaches. This hidden city is made up of colors, sounds, rhythm, traditions and culture. It is a city of sandy beaches, surfers, freedom and independence. Welcome to paradise, surrender to the atmosphere and feel reborn. City tour, free program. Return to the hotel in the evening.

Stone Marrakech desert

Afternoon,, we continue towards the stone desert with an amazing microclimate at the foot of the Atlas Mountains. A magnificent, and majestic place, with a million stars in the sky. We adapt very quickly to the rhythm of the desert with incredible ease. Love for life. We are in the desert and have the opportunity to experience camel riding. It won't just be about the ride itself - it will be about the Story. About the powerful story of women - who were beautiful, strong, and free and men who knew the Truth, understood the language of the desert and followed its signs. A story about trade caravans that traveled through the endless desert. Free program, swimming in the pool, music, dinner and return to the hotel.

Day 8 ~ Breakfast and departure from Marrakesh

Treat yourself to a last breakfast in a land of beauty and contrast before your private driver takes you to the airport. In fact, after 10 days, but based on our experiences, we spent almost a month here. Our wish is that you leave knowing that the journey itself is the destination.
