  • How about a city escape?

    Yes, we would love to!

     

    And that's why this year we decided to devote more time to nature, learning yoga and relaxation techniques, while at the same time enjoying exploring the beauty of our beautiful land.

     

    We want to teach you something that will stay with you, and help you beyond the yoga retreat. Since we have been working ourself in this field for some time, we want to pass on our knowledge to you!

    PAG Pastoral

    Spend the end of spring in beautiful nature - with yoga, meditation, socializing and delicious food (and the occasional glass of top wine)!

    Join us on a fulfilling journey, in a place that inspires with its bareness and cruelty, while at the same time the beauty and fulfillment of the landscape in ourselves reveal the diversity of our essence and lead us in search of our inner compass.

    Program

    Four days filled with yoga, pranayama and meditation right next to the sea in a bay just for us!
    Along with yoga, we are taking you to explore the island - through walking, rowing and hiking.
    We will spend the evenings hanging out, talking, or in Yoga Nidra under the magical starry sky, becoming a part of that magnificent universe.

    Our years of experience in teaching yoga and our deep connection to the island of Pag are our motivation to bring you to this magical place and share with you a glimpse of its charm. Our yoga classes will be tailored to the group and individuals, as we are two instructors and can dedicate ourselves to each individual during the practice. Expect fun and fulfilling yoga classes, hands-on assists to deepen your understanding of the asanas, and everyone's favorite, sweetest shavasanas!

    Hiking Meditation

    When was the last time you got up before sunrise with the intention of meeting that moment at the highest point of the island with a view of the beautiful Adriatic archipelago and the massive and powerful Velebit?

    When we are outside and when we hike - we nurture a feeling of joy and peace that we simply rarely experience anywhere else!

    We will climb to the highest point of the island of Pag and allow ourselves to find meditation as a natural state of being while hiking!

    kAYAKing

    The fairy-tale atmosphere of the lunar landscape of Pag's bay delights everyone with the prevailing contrast of sky-sea blue and stone whiteness. We will surrender to the magic of the landscape and the view of the beaches, the beauty of which is the main reason for many to come to the island of Pag. The charm of hidden coves and the magic of interesting coastal rock shapes invite us to explore the landscape from the sea surface.

    And more...

    We are taking you for a walk in the olive groves of Lun. In the area of Lun, in the very north of the island of Pag, there are olive groves from Lun. For centuries, they represent the untouched and most exotic corner of the Mediterranean. Natural, wild olives are a symbol of the conflict with the storm, stone and man, and have been so for a whole millennium.

    And finally, what better way to end this yoga retreat than with a glass of fine wine at sunset and traditional dishes?

  • Overview & highlights

    Yoga, Pranayama & Meditation ~ Yoga classes are suitable for all participants - from beginners to the most advanced. Expert guidance and a therapeutic approach through many years of teaching experience have created a prerequisite for us to provide an approach that enables individual adaptation to each practitioner through verbal instructions, hands-on assistance and consultations before the start of the class. Also, since there are two leaders, while one leads, expect a lot of possible variations and modifications of asanas and assistance - from the other. Everything has its own why!

     

    Accommodation ~ We are located on the northwest side of the island of Pag - in a bay just for us - Girenica. In the immediate vicinity of the sea, rocky and sandy beaches, surrounded by dry walls, immortelle and Pag olive groves!

     

    Food ~ The meals will be vegetarian, prepared from fresh and seasonal ingredients, and the menu is designed by our chef Mateo and the program manager.
    Food is prepared from fresh and seasonal ingredients bought mostly from local farmers. Two meals a day are provided, as well as tea, coffee and fruit before morning exercise.

     

    Massages ~ For additional relaxation, treat yourself to a massage: oil massage, abdominal massage (CNT 1 and 2), Psoas, Lung Detox, or TOK SEN. It is up to you to choose, or through a consultation before the massage.
    Massages are not included in the price of the program. It is possible to arrange a massage when booking a place for the retreat, or if there are still available appointments at the retreat itself. Andrea is massaging.
    Pre-register is mandatory!

    Aerial yoga & Workshops

    Aerial yoga, or yoga swing, is a unique way of exercising using a hanging swing that enables stretching, strengthening of the body and therapeutic exercises that are facilitated by gravity in this way.

    Therapeutic exercise on a swing is ideal for gentle, passive stretching and stretching of the spine. Practicing inversions on a swing is ideal for anyone who wants to relax muscle tension and pain.

    Gravity can also be used to strengthen the center, increase strength, balance, stability and endurance.

    Aerial yoga is a complete system that can achieve various goals and aspects of exercise, all while having a lot of fun that the swing provides!
