LOCATION
|
The location of this retreat is truly a jack pot both for sea lovers and for mountain lovers. The beautiful Mahakala Yoga Center is located on a green hill, less than a kilometre away from Buljarice beach - one of the last unspoiled wild beaches in Montenegro.
Podgorica Airport is merely 45mins away. Incredibly scenic Old Town of Kotor is less than an hour away. Skadar Lake National Park is only half an hour away and we will explore some parts of it on a kayaking day trip. The area offers plenty of opportunities for hiking, exploring local history, and enjoying the off-season peace and quiet of the Adriatic coast. |

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
|
