About the retreat

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 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), you practice pranayama (breathing), as well as meditation in each class.

The classes are organized as workshops, during which you will explore the different physical, mental and spiritual aspects of the practice.

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.

Mornings are reserved for the yoga practice, which will usually take around 2 hours. You'll have an early start, and after the class, you will enjoy a well-deserved freshly prepared brunch.

​Afternoons are filled with various activities – you will go on hikes around the National Park, visiting the most impressive viewpoints. We'll also go for a boat ride down Drina Canyon all the way to the Bosnian town of Visegrad.

Tara National Park has two beautiful lakes in its vicinity, as well as the Drina River. All of these are great locations to do some kayaking, or just enjoy an easy day by a lake / river.

Evenings will see you back on your mats, for another yoga and meditation session. Dinner is served around 7 p.m. After dinner - free time for everyone.

This retreat will take place at Tara National Park, which is located 200 kilometers southwest of the Serbian capital Belgrade.

Tara National Park is famous for its lush forests and its breathtaking viewpoints. Over the course of the week, you will be enjoying the pristine nature of the National Park, hiking through its forests, admiring the views, and probably getting a couple of opportunities for swimming.

You will be staying in one of the most remote parts of Tara National Park. The lodge is located far away from any settlement or any other touristic infrastructure. The area is surrounded by forests and several hiking paths pass just in front of your doorstep.

This location is perfect for supporting your yoga and meditation practice - far away from any distractions, quiet, and peaceful. Being far away from any settlements and with no light pollution, star gazing has been one of the favorite aspects of this retreat for previous guests.

You'll have two buffet-style meals a day - brunch and dinner will be served as full hearty meals. The meals will be freshly prepared by the cook, made up mostly of local ingredients - local honey, fruits and vegetables, and dairy.

As you will mostly be out and about during lunchtime, please bring your own snacks or whatever you like to have for a packed lunch.

All the meals at the retreat will be vegetarian. If you have specific dietary requirements (e.g. vegan, gluten-free, etc.), it is essential that you mention that prior to booking. My Yogic Adventure will do its best to cater to all of your dietary needs, but they do need to know about them beforehand.
