AUTHENTIC TEACHINGS
Daily Yoga & Meditation Classes
We start our day with mantra chant. We chant Om Namah Shivaya - it is one of the oldest and most powerful mantras with numerous benefits.
It brings us a sense of peace and joy, and creates mental clarity, tempers our ego, aggression and eases stress. It helps us attract positive energy and protects us from negative energies.
It contains profound subtlety in its 5 syllables and is commonly known as Panchakshara Mantra = 'five syllable mantra'. The significance of the number 5 has been linked to the five elements: - Na represents the earth element - ma water - si fire - va air and ya ether. By rising the vibration and energy from the grossest element (earth) to the subtlest (ether), we also activate and purify the chakras.
After mantra meditation, we practice yoga. It is mostly traditional hatha yoga, but occasionally we also incorporate elements of ashtanga vinyasa for a more dynamic flow. We finish our morning practice with pranayama breathing techniques.
DELICIOUS HEALTHY MEALS
Delicious Breakfast and Dinner Included
Healthy eating is an essential part of our retreat. Passionate and heartfelt cooking results in exquisite, rich and tasteful meals that are served with love. We offer a vegetarian menu, with as much local and seasonal produce from the farmers markets as possible, to make sure you feel balanced, pleased and well nourished. We also treat you with a variety of homemade deserts from the range of vegan to gluten free to upgraded beloved classics. On your last evening, you are served a traditional balkan dish artfully baked.
At lunch, feel free to grab a snack for a picnic at the beach or try local Dalmatian specialties at recommended restaurants.
SANDY AND ROCKY BEACHES
Relax and connect to nature in your free time
Immerse yourself in Korčula’s stunning natural landscape and rejoice swimming in the Adriatic sea. Discover the many surrounding beaches, lie down on the warm sand or sit back on the sun-warmed limestones of the coast and let yourself reconnect with nature. You can cycle along the coastline, or just admire the local historical heritage of the old Town and just let yourself unwind. In the evening, be sure to admire the infinite sky filled with stars.
