Yoga Retreat
2021
Time to disconnect and connect with yourself
Yoga is the practice of uniting spirit, mind and body. But with a busy everyday schedule it takes a lot of effort to change habits and routines.
This is an opportunity for you to take a vacation full of positive energy. After a week you will have exercised your body and relaxed your mind and you will feel healthier in both. Your body will feel the benefits of the daily practice, healthy food, mindfulness and relaxation.
Your instructor Rafael has designed a programme devoting full support your development. You will join a group of maximum 12 participants to allow a more personal and intense experience. Each day has its own theme and three classes a day embracing physical and medical practices.
We will take you Solta, a small, idyllic island in the Croatia archipelago. You will wake up by the waterfront and have the sea as the backdrop all day long. Connecting to the gorgeous nature, simple life and slow pace of the island stimulate focus and attention.
No distractions, no rush, no calls, no work, no regular life interruptions.
Come stay with us!
