The Subtle Body and the Five Elements
A villa at the entrance of the Bay of Kotor
Currently, two 7-day retreats are available at Zazenda House in Montenegro. It is a gorgeous, modern and comfortable villa, located at the entrance of the Bay of Kotor. It is easily accessible from three airports: Dubrovnik (Croatia, 25 km), Tivat (Montenegro, 25 km), and Podgorica (Montenegro, 180 km).
Here, we are surrounded by sea and mountains, in a lush, mature garden, embraced by the five great elements: Space, Wind, Fire, Water, and Earth. This sacred setting offers the perfect environment for deep relaxation, self-discovery, and renewal. Join us to reconnect with nature.

Design your own yoga holiday
You are always welcome to design your own yoga holiday at Zazenda Yoga Retreat, where I currently teach. Simply book your stay via Airbnb (at Zazenda House) and send me a note if you’d like tailored yoga classes to suit your needs.
Two yoga sessions a day
The retreats include two yoga sessions a day. A morning practice with Hatha Yoga, breathing exercises, mantra, visualisation and meditation. A little shorter evening practice with Yin Yoga, breathing, meditation and chanting. Totally 3–4 hours yoga daily.
After morning yoga we enjoy a brunch together. The afternoon is free for enjoying the beaches or hikes to the twin cities of Igalo and Herceg Novi with a 7 km long strand promenade and numerous cafes and restaurants.
Come as you are, no fancy yoga clothes nor acrobatics needed, just bring your own yoga mat. We will slowly unwind listening to joyful chirping in the garden.

A note on our tradition
Our yoga style is inspired by the classical Tantric philosophy which is the origin of Hatha Yoga and all modern postural yoga, specifically the teachings of enhancing the subtle body. (Obs! We don’t practice Neo-Tantra which is a cultural appropriation of the Classical Tantra and focuses mostly on sex while the Classical version is about awareness cultivation.)
