Relax & Rejuvenate - 6 Day Yin Yoga Retreat in Ražanj, Dalmatian Coast

Facilities

Practice

In this special retreat you will work with Yin Yoga techniques. Yin Yoga is a more meditative and slow approach to Yoga. One of the goals is to create awareness of the inner silence and to bring to light a universal and interconnecting quality. The calming and healing approach of Yin Yoga brings your physical, emotional and mental self back into balance.

Daily Yin classes focus on holding different postures for longer periods of time (3-5 min) with the goal of accessing the deep connective tissues as well as reaching a meditative state while doing said postures. Yin Yoga poses apply moderate stress to the connective tissues of the body with the aim of increasing circulation in the joints and improving flexibility.

Slow down with a more meditative approach to Yoga.

Walking meditation to chappell "Sveti Ivan" at Punta Planka

Ražanj is a small Dalmatian fishing village situated between Split and Šibenik in Croatia. The surroundings are dominated by olive groves, pine tree forests, picturesque bays, and of course the Mediterranean Sea with its pristine crystal clear waters. Because of its quiet and beautiful unspoiled landscape, Ražanj is the ideal spot for all kinds of yoga retreats as well as a family holiday.

The Mediterranean climate with loads of sun and hardly any rainfall guarantees a relaxing time by the sea. Because of its isolated location mass tourism never reached here. Thus, Razanj was able to preserve its quiet dalmatian village ambiance.

In the center of the village, you find a supermarket with bakery, a restaurant, and two cafés along with information stand right beside a small market that offers fruits, vegetables, and freshly caught fish.

Ražanj is also a diving and snorkeling paradise. In close vicinity to the village on Cap Punta Planka is the 13th-century-built chapel of Sevti Ivan. From Movar Hill with its remnants of a medieval fortress, you have a breathtaking view of the village, the surroundings, and adjacent islets.

The International Airport Split (SPU) is only a 30 minutes' drive from the house.
