Croatia, Yoga Retreat
From the Sea to the Sky
rising through the chakras
yoga retreat JUNE 6-12 2026
Brac Island, Coatia
Join us on the stunning shores of Brac Island, Croatia, for an illuminating retreat that will take you on a journey through the chakras – the energy centers that align your body, mind, and soul. Nestled in the heart of the Mediterranean and surrounded by crystal-clear waters, this serene setting provides the perfect backdrop for a deeply transformative experience.
Over the course of this retreat, we will rise through the chakras together, exploring their unique qualities through yoga, meditation, breathwork, and reflective practices. Each day will focus on awakening and balancing a different chakra, guiding you toward greater alignment, self-awareness, and inner harmony.
From grounding in the safety of your Root Chakra to opening your Heart Chakra to love and trust, and ultimately soaring into the enlightenment of your Crown Chakra, this journey invites you to elevate your energy and unlock your potential.
Expect breathtaking seaside yoga sessions, soulful meditations, nourishing meals, and a community of like-minded individuals all committed to growth and connection. This Mediterranean escape isn’t just a retreat – it’s a path to radiance, wholeness, and lasting enlightenment.
Discover the magic of the chakras on Brac Island – where the sea meets the sky, and transformation begins.
BRAC ISLAND, CROATIA
Brac Island, nestled in the sparkling Adriatic Sea, is a hidden gem of the Mediterranean, offering breathtaking natural beauty, rich cultural heritage, and a serene escape from the ordinary. Known as the crown jewel of Croatia’s Dalmatian Coast, Brac is famous for its pristine beaches, picturesque villages, and lush landscapes – the perfect destination for relaxation, exploration, and rejuvenation.
Brac is home to the Zlatni Rat (Golden Horn), a unique, ever-changing beach known for its shimmering white pebble spit that juts into the turquoise sea. This iconic landmark, coupled with the island’s crystal-clear waters, makes it a haven for sun-seekers and water lovers.
Beyond its coastline, Brac offers lush olive groves, rolling vineyards, and dramatic hills, including Vidova Gora, the highest peak on the Adriatic islands, which rewards hikers with panoramic views of the sea and nearby islands.
A Peaceful Retreat by the Sea, with an unhurried way of life that invites you to slow down, connect with nature, and rediscover yourself.
Join us on Brac Island, where the beauty of the Mediterranean meets the serenity of the soul.
