Rejuvenate Your Body & Mind / 5 days yoga holiday with Tatjana Braćanov/Vanja Radonić/Radka Exnar

Recover from busy days and enjoy the mild climate on the Mediterranean coast of Croatia. This retreat is the ideal opportunity to relax and recharge your batteries. Find yourself, rejuvenate your body and mind and feel inspired, refreshed and centered again. Whether you're new to yoga or an established practitioner, this yoga vacation program invites you to overcome the challenges and complexities of everyday life and get back to what's important. If you want to get away from it all for a few days to practice yoga in a beautiful location by the sea, then you've come to the right place!

Start the day with a morning yoga class or meditation in our yoga shala, with a direct view of the sea. Take walks or hikes in the beautiful surroundings, an excursion to the Krka waterfalls, or simply relax while sunbathing with a good book. After the five-day break, you will be grounded and refreshed back to your true self!

The Sub-Art Yoga Retreat House, with its "in-house" yoga shala, is located directly on the Mediterranean (Adriatic Sea). Our luxury is exclusivity, as we only offer retreats for small groups of maximum 7 people.

The large and bright accommodation overlooks the picturesque bay and has two floors. Each floor has a terrace or balcony with a sea view and is equipped with a bathroom and kitchen. There is a barbecue area and free parking in the courtyard.

Our guests are accommodated in private single and double rooms, which are deliberately furnished in a minimalist yet very comfortable style (see photos above). This gives you the opportunity to relax and recharge your batteries in harmony with the beautiful Mediterranean nature.

Our motto: Feel good and relax - with minimalism against stress and sensory overload

We offer:
* Yoga Shala (in the house)
* Air-conditioned private single and double rooms
* Private jetty
* Barbecue area
* 2 kitchens
* 2 terraces
* Parking lot
* Wi-Fi

There is a fully equipped kitchen in each apartment for morning meals, with coffee machine, stove, fridge, crockery etc. A new supermarket (Studenac) with bakery and two cafés are located in the nearby village center (3min walk).

The restaurants in the village center (3min walking distance) offer many specialties of Croatian and especially Dalmatian cuisine for dinner. Special emphasis is placed on the use of local produce. Excellent dishes are on offer for vegetarians and vegans as well as for fish and meat eaters.

Practice:
Everyone brings different mental, emotional and physical abilities to yoga classes. It is very important to recognize and respect these and to adapt and develop the yoga practice accordingly. In all yoga exercises, the breath is at the center of our yoga practice - breath is movement and movement is life - it is our natural source of energy (prana). With its life force and healing effect, the breath forms the basis of Katarina Pelivan's yoga classes.

Each yoga class has a corresponding theme, such as strength in the center, creating space in the chest, relaxed neck/shoulders, lightness in the shoulders, strength in the shoulders and shoulder girdle, width and alignment in the upper back, strengthening or relaxation in the lower back, width and lightness, stable pelvis, stable knees, stability of the feet and much more.

The concept of the yoga class is based on postures derived from traditional Hatha Yoga and supplemented with various influences from traditional Indian Yoga, Chinese Taoism and findings from Western science about the body structure, the geometry of the body and the function of the internal organs.

It is not uncommon to encounter dolphins on the way there.
