Expert tip: This is one of the most popular yoga retreats offered in Macedonia.
The summer solstice is the longest day of the year and it marks the time when the sun reaches the highest point in the sky. It is a short moment of pause before the sun starts descending again. Powered by this natural cycle, you will also take a moment of stillness and see how you can shine a light of your awareness onto all aspects of your life.
You will be staying in Lagadin Village, in the heart of Galicica National Park - far enough from the town to be away from the crowds, and close enough to all the amazing things this area has to offer.
You will have an entire guesthouse to yourself - comfortable rooms, a beautiful garden, a spacious yoga hall, and a refreshing plunge pool. The space offers several indoor and outdoor common areas where you can socialize, but also many hidden corners where you can enjoy a quiet moment.
You can choose to stay in a private room, a shared room, or a dorm. All rooms have a private bathroom and a small balcony with a beautiful view over the lake.
Summer is the time of growth, ripening, and expansion in the nature, and you will try to find and nurture the same qualities and processes within yourselves. The retreat happens at the beginning of the summer, during the summer solstice, so the classes will be organized around this theme.
On most days, you will practice two times a day in a beautiful yoga hall (shala) overlooking the lake and offering incredible sunset views.

Marija teaches Hatha yoga, focusing on mindful movement, body awareness, and proper alignment, rather than on achieving certain postures. The primary aim of these classes is to gain a better understanding of your body and the underlying principles of yoga and meditation practice.
Apart from asana (posture), you practice pranayama (breathing), as well as meditation in each class.
The classes are organized as workshops, during which you will explore different physical, mental, and spiritual aspects of the practice.
The retreat is suitable for all levels. Beginners will have the chance to get a 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.
You will love this retreat if:
You will start each day with 90 minutes of asana practice (yoga postures), organic movement, breath work, and guided meditation. After the class, you will have a delicious freshly prepared breakfast.
Afternoons are filled with possibilities (optional/not included in the package):
Evenings will see you back on the mat, having another shorter class (1 hour) before delicious dinner, served around 7:30 p.m.
All activities and classes are optional, and everybody is welcome to skip any of them any time they feel like it.
Marija teaches Hatha yoga, infused with some elements of Vinyasa Flow and free movement exploration, with an emphasis on proper alignment, breathing, and focus. Her aim is to help students get a better understanding of their bodies and movements so that they can work together on developing their safe and sustainable personal practice. Meditation is an essential part of her classes. For her, to touch the essence of asana practice is to move mindfully, to develop body awareness and learn how to listen to people's bodies with kindness and understanding.
Lake Ohrid is one of Europe's deepest and oldest lakes and one of the very few places that are on UNESCO's World Heritage list both for its natural beauty and cultural importance.
You will be situated at the very border of Galicica National Park, enjoying the peace of nature and spectacular sunset views. Old town Ohrid is just a 15-minute drive away so you will have plenty of opportunities to explore all the layers of history of this area - from the ruins of a Hellenistic theatre, imposing Byzantine churches, a medieval fortress, and winding cobbled stone streets with excellently preserved Ottoman houses. And a beach is 10 minutes walking distance.
The national park offers amazing opportunities for hiking, cycling, swimming, sailing, kayaking, and diving, and if you are in the mood for an adrenalin kick, you can even do paragliding here.

Two hearty meals a day are included in the price of the retreat - breakfast and dinner.
The food served at the retreat will be vegetarian. It will always be freshly prepared traditional Macedonian food (with a vegetarian twist) made up of local ingredients - vegetables, fruits, local grains, locally produced dairy, honey, eggs, etc.
Macedonian food is a wonderful mix of Balkan and Middle Eastern food, rich in the flavor of the excellent quality of locally grown fruits and vegetables. Also, Macedonia is famous for its wine, so very little is left to be desired when it comes to Macedonian cuisine.
There is a nice restaurant 10 minutes away walking distance where you can have lunch or you can always hop to Ohrid and choose among one of many amazing restaurants offering a good variety of food.
