REBALANCE, RENEW & REDISCOVER
Discover Brač to rediscover yourself
This retreat is designed as an exploratory journey into the world of yoga. It is likewise intended for those who wish to take their practice up a notch by deepening the understanding of various aspects of yoga as for those who want to take a rest from their busy everyday life and reward themselves to a deserved break for the body, mind and spirit. Regardless of a client’s intention, we are positive that the magical Mediterranean ambience of the Island of Brač will provide an ideal setting for a transformative experience.
The Island of Brač is one the pearls of the Croatian coast. It seduces visitors with an array of wonderful traits; from beautiful beaches and clear sea, through unique stone architecture and relaxed lifestyle, to surroundings shaped by a long succesful marriage of nature and traditional agriculture. The island was also blessed with an abundance of sunshine all year round which is favorable not only for tourism, but also for the production of excellent wines and olive oil. The sinergy of weather, tastes, smells and scenery makes visitors wish to stay forever or at least to return to Brač again and again. Which many of them do.
Our base is the charming town of Bol that has it all - peace and quiet for our daily practice, lively cafes and restaurants, shops, and one of the most famous beaches of the eastern Mediterranean coast; Zlatni Rat (Golden Cape). Mount Vidova Gora embraces the town and, being the highest peak of all Croatian islands, offers the perfect view of Zlatni Rat beach and the surrounding islands. We will spend our days practicing yoga in our amazing shala overlooking the sea, tasting the famous local olive oil and fresh produce and enjoying healthy balanced vegetarian meals prepared with love by our chef. A part of the program will include an optional hike up to Mt Vidova Gora where you can admire the stunning view over Dalmatian Islands. The time inbetween the practice can be used for many acitivites; swimming, snorkeling, various water sports, cycling, or exploration of the countryside and rustic villages.
Our experienced yoga teachers Miroslav Zec and Kristina Lenard will lead you through the practice of asanas, breathing and meditation. With the help of the magical setting they will create an ideal and safe environment for you to sink into the experience, conclude the summer and enter the new season as a new, more balanced version of yourself. Yoga will be a mix of two related dynamic styles - Ashtanga and Vinyasa flow, adjusted yet challenging for all levels of practitioners.
