The yoga we teach is traditional lineage based, balanced and soft. Without acrobatics and extreme positions, but with thoughtfulness and care for the body and practice. During our retreat sessions we do not only stretch and work with our muscles, but increase vitality, balance our whole energy system and make our mind happy and calm. The result is felt from the first day!

Boka Kotorska - Bay of Kotor

We love Yoga and we love Boka. A magnificent Bay of Kotor is a UNESCO heritage site. Its many historical, cultural and natural spots are not to be missed. Even on a short program, and it is definitely a must during a full time retreat!

Boka Kotorska with its concentrated natural beauty, deep historical heritage and vast cultural legacy is no doubt a gem of the whole Montenegro and its Adriatic cost.

The Bay of Kotor, sometimes called Europe's southernmost fjord, is a small civilization of its own inside Montenegro. With its amazing landscapes, tall mountains and blue waters, venetian historical towns and modern superyacht marinas, art festivals, museums and exhibitions, quality restaurants and local markets. There is a lot to explore in any direction. Obviously, first on the list is Kotor with its medieval Old Town inside a Fortress which rightfully has its place in the UNESCO World Heritage list. But there are also other spectacular venetian towns and villages on the shore around the bay. For example a seaside towns of Prcanj or Perast. Two little islands just off Perast are of a special interest. The Island of Saint George with Benedictin Monastery of 12th Century on it and the other one - an artificial island, made up of old sunken ships and bulwark of rocks and called Our Lady of the Rocks. There is a church on it dedicated to Madonna after some fishermen found an icon of Her and the Child on a rock in 15th Century. So she is considered to be the protector of all seamen. Still even nowadays when a special yacht regatta takes place in the area, it is a tradition to add your little rock to this island.

We will give you the insider tips, if needed - create a sightseeing program, suggest the right places and times to visit.

Green forested Mountain Vrmac with its many goat paths and Austro-Hungarian period abandoned forts is a hicker's paradise of the area. Best time to take walks and hikes on it is in Spring and Autumn. There are walks of a various difficulty: from an easy and picturesque trip to medieval mountain village Gornji Stoliv to a slightly more challenging crossing the mountain from the side of Tivat town to Kotor side. Another natural and still pretty undeveloped part of Boka Bay is Lushtica peninsulla, especially its more distant western part. Olive groves, pine trees and hidden and not so hidden beaches at the open sea are the features of this area.
If you are getting ready for dinning out, Porto Montenegro in Tivat with its shining yacht marina and international restaurants is the right choice. There are also many other locations now in the Bay with different types of cousine from around the world, but we still like some local konobas with simple homestyle montenegrin cooking and relaxed atmosphere. Be sure to ask us for advice!
