About this trip
Picture this...
Waking up to the rising sun glistening off both the mountains and the sea. Stepping outside to enjoy your morning coffee or tea into the fresh air and breathing in nature around you before stepping onto your yoga mat for 90 minutes of movement and breath work. Following yoga, enjoy a wholesome and nourishing breakfast crafted using organic and eco-friendly ingredients, either grown onsite or sourced from local farmers. After breakfast, walk down the nature path to the crystal waters of the Adriatic Sea and indulge in an afternoon of relaxing and swimming. Wander bath up the nature path for an afternoon massage before an indulgent 90 minute restorative yoga practice followed by a warm and comforting dinner. Take part in the joy of the community with conversation and laughter until sleep calls and you retire to your luxury accommodation for a restful quiet sleep.
If this sounds idyllic to you... you can make this a reality and join me in Montenegro at the impeccably designed Mahakala Center for a 6 night retreat!
