About this trip

Cinco De Mayo ON the beach! A long, leisurely weekend of Yoga, Breath & Sound, Chocolates & Wines in the beautiful NorthFork, NY. 


Nope! It’s not too early to head to the beach!! We all NEED some beach time right about now.  Celebrate Cinco De Mayo with me in South Jamesport, NY (less than a 2-hour drive from NYC!). We will stay ON the beach (every room has water view!!) at Jamesport Bay Suites - a beautiful suites hotel, right on the calm bayside waters of the Peconic. The area is full of farms, wineries, breweries and eclectic shopping. 


We will practice yoga and Pranayama in front of the water, taste chocolate at the NorthFork Chocolate Company, experience a deep transformational Sound Healing session, taste wines, have drinks for Cinco De Mayo and build a bong fire at night. We will take a swim whenever if we feel like or get on a paddle board and float... #WhatALife!!!

I had an amazing time at the retreat, practicing yoga with Yuval and visiting the local farms and towns. The entire retreat was well planned and we had plenty of activities to do through the week. The villas were immaculate and spacious. The food was healthy and delicious. We learnt so much about Croatia and the region of Istria. Much thanks to Yuval and Maria for organizing such a memorable experience.

This was so much more than just a Yoga retreat in Croatia. Maria and Yuval made it a true journey through the senses with exposure to so many different and interesting foods, locations, and locals. Yuval attracts wonderful people who re-book his retreats over and over again so, even if you arrive not knowing anyone like I did, it feels like being part of a loving family. Maria's enthusiasm is contagious and the experience tours she finds are the perfect balance of comfortable and exciting. If there is an opening on the next trip, you should grab it.

Yuval's retreats are very magical. It was the perfect combination of adventure, relaxation and beautiful sight seeing If you have not taken a yoga class or danced the night away with Yuval then you are signing up for a wonderful treat. I look forward to each and every experience with Yuval and meeting like minded people in beautiful places.

LUXURY FOR THE SOUL. This retreat was exactly what I needed—a true chance to unwind and reset. Yuval, German, and Maria created an experience that felt like a gift for everyone there. From the start, we were surrounded by the beauty of Croatia. We wandered through olive groves, vineyards, and family farms, each spot offering a unique glimpse into local traditions. We explored small towns, getting to know the culture through stories, too much amazing food, and gorgeous scenery. The meals were crafted just for us, and every dish was amazing. Ivana, a sommelier with a passion for her craft, guided us through Croatian wines that complemented each meal. Yuval’s intuition about what each person needed was incredible—he knew just how to help us find that deeper sense of peace. His husband German brought a quiet, steady presence that was grounding and comforting, and Maria’s attention to detail made everything seamless. If it sounds like I'm gushing, that's because I am. If you’re looking for a retreat that truly nourishes and restores you, this one’s it!

I recently had the incredible experience of attending Yuval and Maria’s yoga retreat in beautiful Istria, Croatia, and it truly exceeded all my expectations. The retreat offered a perfect blend of relaxation, cultural immersion, and culinary adventure, all set against the stunning backdrop of the Istrian countryside. One of the highlights was our visit to Olivo Istriano. We were able to tour the grove and taste their exquisite oils, each rich in flavor and carefully crafted. Another unforgettable experience was our wooded meditation at Kumparicka. After our peaceful meditation session, we enjoyed an amazing homemade dinner—everything was fresh, delicious, and full of local flavor! We also indulged in a fantastic wine tasting at Roxanich just outside of Motovun, a winery that doubles as a luxurious hotel and restaurant. Each wine had a unique story and flavor profile, and the setting was beyond picturesque. Visits to the charming town of Rovinj and island of Brijuni added the perfect dose of history and exploration to the trip. This retreat wasn’t just about yoga; it was a beautiful journey through Istrian culture, cuisine, and scenery. If you’re looking for a yoga retreat that combines relaxation with unique cultural experiences, I can’t recommend this Istrian retreat enough!

The Croatia retreat was amazing!!!!! Yuval is a very special individual. His energy is incredibly inviting. My yoga practice is beginner level, at best. Yuval was patient, and an excellent teacher. I never felt judged, and by the end of the trip was even learning not to judge myself. The accommodations were top notch. Our three bedroom villa was fully stocked, clean and beautiful. Maria organized fabulous day trips - we spent time on a goat farm, learned about Croatian wine and olive oil, visited beautiful historical towns and parks, and ate wonderful food. It was an experience I will never forget. I cannot wait until my next retreat!

I had the most amazing experience in Croatia - it was not only yoga, sound baths and mindful reflection but some fun dance and lively conversations with the most talented Yuval that included a beautiful vacation that left me feeling inspired, restored and reset. In merely a week it was a wonderful to come together with like minded beautiful people that Yuval brings together. Between his lovely husband, Germain, Maria, a seasoned curator who booked special experiences throughout the incredible region of Istria, Ivana, who explained so much about local food and wine and Sonja, a special chef, we left feeling grateful to have learned a lot and made new friends. And we didn’t have to plan a thing - the goat farm we visited and dined at, the local winery, olive oil farm and lively towns exceeded my expectations and left me feeling blessed to have visited this very special part of the world.

I could not have had a more holistically amazing time in Croatia with Yuval. Joined by Maria with insider travel guidance and Ivana leading us in food and wine experiences, as well as personal chef Sonja, I felt our every need was catered to. I learned so much about Croatia, met a group of yogis - making a connection with each one, and had a profound yoga experience through Yuval’s teaching. My first experience with Yuval’s Sound Bath Meditation was completely unique and other worldly. Yuval cares deeply about each person at his retreat. I highly recommend this experience because of the joy of the event itself, but also for the path his teachings will set you on. Not to be missed!!!
