IS THIS RETREAT FOR YOU?
This is a week to fully reconnect with yourself and with nature.
The retreat takes place in Uvac Gorge, possibly the most recognizable landmark of Serbia. Our accommodation is only 350m away from Uvac Lake, with a stunning view of the Gorge and the pristine surroundings. You will have plenty of time to soak up the atmosphere of this serene place, to swim in the lake, explore the villages and view points, and to dive deeper into your yoga and meditation practice. You will also have a chance to explore one part of the Gorge in a kayak and to visit Serbia's deepest cave. Other activities include a trip to local waterfalls and a medieval monastery. 
YOGA AND MEDITATION
We will practice two times a day on a meadow nearby. Practicing yoga outside gives a whole new aspect to your practice!
I teach gentle Hatha yoga, with a lot of emphasis on 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. My classes are focused on body-mind explorations, on understanding and appreciating the body and finding ways to implement our practice into our lives off the mat, rather than accomplishing certain yoga poses. 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 scenery of the mountain and the villages. Uvac river is merely 350m away, so swimming is always an option. We'll take a boat ride through the 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 as well. 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 of the gorge, making it really tempting to just stay around the whole day.

ACCOMMODATION
We will stay in Villa Uvac, perched on a small hill at the end of Uvac Gorge.
The house is very isolated, making it a perfect choice for a yoga and meditation retreat. All the rooms are newly furnished, spacious and comfortable. Most of the rooms have private bathrooms. The house also has a big kitchen with dining room, as well as plenty of outdoor spaces. Basically, the entire hill is your backyard. You can choose to stay in a single, twin, double, or a triple room. 
The maximum attendance at the retreat will be 15 guests. |
FOOD
We'll have two hearty meals a day - a brunch and a dinner.
All the meals at the retreat will be vegetarian. 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. If you have special dietary requirements, it is essential that you communicate that with us and we will do our best to cater for you.
