IS THIS RETREAT FOR YOU?
This is a week to take things slowly.
To enjoy the beauty of rolling hills, while strolling through pastures, villages and forests. To relax at the side of a lake or lounge around the swimming pool in the garden next to the house. We'll practie yoga and meditation together, as well as soothing meditative walks. Other activities include a boat ride on a nerby lake, on the way to one of the most impressive view points in Serbia, a visit to Serbia's deepest cave, as well as a trip to local waterfalls and a medieval monastery. If you would like to spice things up, it's possible to organize kayaking through Uvac Gorge as well. 
YOGA AND MEDITATION
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.
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. If you would like to read more about the style of yoga being taught at the retreat, click here. 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.

DAY BY DAY
Mornings are reserved for our practice, which takes around 2 hours. After the class, we will have a freshly prepared brunch.
In the afternoons we go for relaxing walks, enjoying the silence and scenary of the mountain and the villages. The lake is merely 4km away, so swimming is always an option. We'll take a boat ride through Uvac Gorge, which holds an impressive cave and an even more impressive view of the meandering river.
If you'd like extra adventure, we will do some kayaking through Uvac Gorge! It is definitely an unforgettable experience! 
Another possible day-trip is to the waterfalls of Sopotnica and a medieval Orthodox monastery Mileseva.
Evenings will see us back in the center, in a yoga and meditation class (1-1.5 hours) before having delicious home cooked dinner around 7.00 PM.
All activities and classes are optional, and everybody is welcome to skip any of them any time they feel like it. The house has a spectacular terrace with a panoramic view and a small swimming pool, making it really tempting to just stay around the whole day.

ACCOMMODATION
We will stay on a family estate tucked on top of a hill among the pine trees, overlooking the meadows and pastures of Zlatar Mountain.
There are two accommodation options: You can stay in one of the two wooden bungalows- each with a bathroom, a kitchinette, a living room and a bedroom, as well as a sunny porch. Each bungalow can host 3 - 4 people. Or you can stay in one of the double rooms in the main building. We have one triple and three twin rooms. All the rooms are on the same floor, and they share one shower and three toilets.
Both the bungalows and the main house are entirely made of wood and decorated with traditional Serbian artisan work. There's also a small swimming pool, a real blessing in hot summer afternoons.
The maximum attendance at the retreat will be 10 guests. |
FOOD
We'll have two hearty meals a day - a brunch and a dinner.
All the meals at the retreat will be vegetarian and they will be served in the spacious light restaurant, featuring an amazing terrace and a fire place. The food at the retreat will be freshly prepared traditional Serbian food (with a vegetarian twist) made up of local ingredients - vegetables, fruits, locally made jams and honey, as well as famous cheese and other dairy products from Zlatar Mountain.
