ASHTANGA YOGA RETREAT – BRAČ ISLAND, CROATIA

Leading by example is important. On the other hand, I have recognised that immersing myself in the practice of yoga is rather easy versus many of my students who are balancing numerous things. I have students with demanding jobs, multiple children, physical limitations, and/or other stressors. Whereas I acknowledge not only is it easier for me to carve out time to practice daily, I teach it, have time for study, have made multiple trips to Mysore, India and don’t have children of my own.

My goal is to do my best to create a space for people to integrate the practice into their lives in any way they can. Acceptance for where every individual is in their development is very important in how I facilitate a space for learning the practice.”

Food is the primary source of Prana, the life force energy.

When trying to lead a healthier lifestyle, studies have shown that food is just as important as exercise.

That’s why on all retreats we ensure tasty, nutritious, organic meals to revitalise the body, balance the mind and support you in your wellness journey.
 

• We source food locally.
• We enjoy seasonal produce.
• We like food as pranic as possible.
• We savour our homemade granola.
• We relish healthy cakes and cookies.
• We drink local herbal teas.
• We go for smoothies and shakes.
• We snack on dry fruits and bars.
• We create light lunches and dinners.
• We delight in tea, dips, and nibs.
• We covet a cup of good quality coffee.

Of course, when I wasn’t studying English literature, I was in the kitchen enhancing my natural Italian cooking skills.

Following my passion for food, I founded a catering company, mainly for film production teams in Croatia, preparing meals for hungry actors and crew, like on the Game of Thrones.

Working for the Makronova Association, I learnt about healthy living and embraced it. This started my yoga practice, and I fell in love with yoga on and off the mat.

Yoga Hrvatska brings together my passion for Dalmatia, my inherent desire for healthy food and living and my devotion to yoga practice.
