About this trip

A trip to Turkey would not be complete without a visit to the totally unique region of Cappadocia.  Known for its distinctive "fairy chimneys," underground cities, and enchanting moonscape terrain, its charm and curiosity should not be missed. 


During our four day stay in Cappadocia, we will tour the local UNESCO heritage sites, learn about the ancient history and early Christianity of the region, practice yoga on a scenic outdoor deck, appreciate local food and handicrafts, and take an inspiring (and optional) early morning hot air balloon ride.


This trip is only available as an add on to my Turkey Yoga & Culture Retreat.

Payments and Cancellation Policy

Your deposit is non-refundable. The remaining fees are fully refundable (minus any unrecoverable transaction fees) 91 days in advance. Cancellations 61 to 90 days in advance are eligible for a 50% refund of fees above the deposit. Payments made in the 60 days prior to the retreat are non-refundable. If you are able to find a replacement, we will refund your payment less your deposit and any non-recoverable fees. 


This policy exists because we need to ensure that we can meet financial obligations to our venues and in-country partners. This is why trip insurance is so helpful (and required)!

If the trip is canceled due to COVID-19 or other unforeseen circumstances, all payments, minus the deposit will be fully refunded. Deposits are transferrable to a rescheduled trip.

Loved this trip!!! This trip was magical and full of awe!!! Nicole has curated a very unique travel experience that immerses you into the culture during the day and helps you mindfully integrate your experiences at night with restorative yoga and yoga Nidra. We visited many small villages and met inspiring and interesting people and were even invited into people's homes for delightful hospitality and traditional yummy Moroccan food. Nicole consciously chooses destinations that are meaningful and informative- Meet the women who weaved the rug you buy or have a pottery class with the master potter whose pottery you can't resist to take home. All the while supporting the local communities. Engage in educational and meaningful conversations with your guides in Marrakech. Nicole has a special way of guiding you with just the right amount of information allowing you to discover the magic for yourself and ask questions as you come upon new discoveries. If you like small groups, are looking to get off the beaten path, immerse yourself in the culture and connect with local people, give back to the communities you visit and are ready for adventure this is the trip for you!

Being in the Sahara desert with Nicole was amazing. Private, beautiful, you can feel how spiritual it is.

This retreat was beyond amazing. Nicole has curated a trip that lets people see the ins and outs of Morocco while teaching practice to regulate your nervous system! We met so many wonderful people with such inspiring stories (and delicious food)! Our group of travelers were hilarious, open minded, and kind hearted humans that I couldn’t be more grateful to have met! From Marrakech to the Sahara, sunrise to sunset, our drivers, hosts, tour guides, photographers etc. everything and everyone were perfect! Thank you so much Nicole! ♥️✌🏼

Nicole hosted an amazing trip through Marrakesh and the Sahara desert. Everything was organized and planned out very thoughtfully. Taking this trip with someone who knows the area and the people of Morocco made for a unique experience and brought us to many hidden gems of Morocco. In addition, I always felt extremely safe and at ease amidst a language and culture I knew nothing about, thanks to Nicole and her network of people to guide us. I have already recommended that many of my friends book the same trip!

I traveled with Nicole to Morocco for a Yoga and Culture Retreat. Words cannot do this experience justice! It was an incredible, exciting and varied trip, always returning to the peaceful oasis of Bab Zouina. Nicole planned a series of amazing visits and locations for us to enjoy. Her breadth of knowledge and love for the art, culture, enviroment, and the Moroccan people shined in the passion that she put into planning this retreat. Her love for Morocco is inspriring and it's contagious! That love spread to me after experiencing the country and all that it has to offer through this once-in-a-lifetime trip. I cannot wait to return to visit my new Moroccan family! I highly recommend Nicole and her retreats.

This retreat exceeded expectations for its combination of culture and yoga. Each day was constructed to accommodate a great deal of activity with yoga to complement. I hope to join Nicole someday again!
