YOGA & MEDITATION
|
On most days, you will practice two times a day on a soft grassy meadow next to your accommodation.
Marija teaches Hatha yoga, focusing on mindful movement, body awareness and the proper alignment, rather than on achieving certain postures. The primary aim of these classes is to gain a better understanding of your body and of the underlying principles of yoga and meditation practice. Apart from asana (posture), we practice pranayama (breathing), 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. To read more about Marija and her teaching style, 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. |
|
PROGRAM
|
You will start each day with a two-hour class - asana practice (yoga postures), organic movement, breath work and guided meditation are all integrated within this class.
Breakfast is served after the class.

Two hearty meals a day are included in the price of the retreat - brunch and dinner.
The meals will be served in a cosy traditional Bosnian restaurant only 100m away. Since we will be exploring the National Park on most afternoons, you can always choose to order a take away lunch from the restaurant or to bring your own snack. The food served at the retreat will be vegetarian. It will always be freshly prepared traditional Bosnian food (with a vegetarian twist) made up of local ingredients - vegetables, fruits, local grains, locally produced dairy, honey, eggs, etc. |
