Who are you ?
Sharing lovers
We are Pauline and Youssef, two people passionate about nature and wellness.
We created Amazigh Hike & Yoga to share our love for Moroccan mountains, yoga and Amazigh (aka Berber) culture with travelers from anywhere in the world.
Amazigh Hike & Yoga is a local agency that organizes itinerant hiking trips from one to four days in the Agadir Ida Outanane region of Morocco.
We preach authenticity and offer off beaten tracks experience. The trips are for small groups only, far from touristic tours and in total respect of wildlife, flora and local people.
Pauline
Yoga Teacher
Pauline is from France and lives in Morocco since 2019. After studying fashion and living in Paris for few years, she discovered yoga and started practicing regularly.
Couple of years later, she went to Rishikesh in India and completed a training to become a yoga instructor certified by Yoga Alliance. She arrived in Morocco after finding a job as a yoga teacher at a Surf Camp in the village of Tamraght.
Pauline met Youssef and with him explored the mountains and landscapes behind the coast. She found them breathtaking. In love with nature and outdoors she offered to add yoga sessions to the hiking trips Youssef was guiding.
Hiking and yoga combined together gives great benefits on physical, mental and spiritual level and is completed by the experience of being surrounded by nature.
Youssef
Local Guide
Youssef is native from the village of Taghrat Ankrim just above Paradise Valley. From an Amazigh family, from the Ida Outanane mountains with all their Argan trees as his playground as a kid.
He knows every corner, track and village.
As a grown up and rich with experiences in hospitality and tourism industry, he has become an exceptional guide.
Youssef's mother tongue is the Tachelhit (berber language spoken in the Souss Massa region). In addition, he speaks several languages including Arabic, English and French makes it easy to communicate with international travelers.
Creating itineraries to share his country and his culture is something that makes him very happy and he is proud to make it his job.
