LOCATION

We will spend this week in South Western Serbia, on Zlatar Mountain, famous for its vast flowery meadows, imposing pine forests, and the quality of air. The area offers great opportunities for easy hikes, picking wild herbs, and feasting on wild strawberries. 

Uvac Lake Natural Reserve is less than an hour drive away. Our daytrip to Uvac will include a boat ride through the gorge, hike to a soaring viewpoint, visit to a cave and of course some swimming time. 

Sopotnica Waterfalls are also just an hour away and paying a visit to this natural wonder will make another amazing daytrip.

YOGA & MEDITATION

On most days, we will practice two times a day on a meadow nearby or on the terrace. In case of rain, it is possible to practice inside. Some daytrips can take up most of our day, in which case we will have only one class. 

​Marija teaches gentle Hatha yoga, with a lot of emphasis body awareness and mindful movement, as well as on the proper alignment, breath and focus. Apart from asana (posture), we will practice pranayama (breathing techniques), as well as meditation in each class.

The classes are organized as workshops, during which we will explore different physical, mental and spiritual 
aspects of the practice.

​The retreat is suitable for all levels.

​Beginners will have the chance to get the taste of yoga and build a strong foundation for their yogic journey. More experienced yogis will deepen their understanding and get some inspiration to further develop their practice

GETTING THERE

You can reach Zlatar mountain from three international airports - Belgrade (Serbia), Podgorica (Montenegro) or Sarajevo (Bosnia). Although Belgrade is somewhat further away than the other two cities (270km), it would be the most convenient option and also the only option from which we can offer you an organized transfer. 

You can join our organized transportation from Belgrade on the morning of June 20th. The details of the transportation will be communicated once we know how many people are interested in joining the ride. We will leave Belgrade at 8am, so please plan your flights accordingly. 

You can also reach the place using a public bus to Nova Varos, and then hiring a taxi to take you to the village.
