ABOUT OUR YOGA RETREAT
The yoga retreat will be hosted in a beautifully appointed house that perfectly blends comfort with the serene spirit of nature. The house features five elegantly designed rooms, each outfitted with its own private bathroom, ensuring personal space and convenience for all guests. Two of the rooms are furnished with two separate beds, ideal for individuals or those who are attending the retreat with friends. The other three rooms boast king-size beds, offering a cozy retreat for couples or close friends who wish to share a space. Each room is decorated to reflect the calming essence of the retreat, with natural light filling the spaces to create a warm and inviting atmosphere. This house promises a restful stay, providing a private, peaceful haven where every detail is geared towards nurturing relaxation and wellness.
Nestled in the picturesque landscape of Istria, Smolići is a charming village that embodies the tranquil beauty of Croatia's countryside. This idyllic setting, with its rolling hills and lush greenery, offers a perfect backdrop for a yoga retreat. The village is steeped in a serene ambiance, with rustic stone houses and panoramic views that stretch as far as the eye can see. Smolići provides a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life, allowing visitors to reconnect with nature and themselves.
What makes Smolići truly unique are the "zmajeve brazde" or dragon lines that run through the village. These lines are believed to be pathways of positive energy. They often connect places of historical or geographical significance, such as religious centers and temples, and are thought to enhance human experiences—improving spiritual progress, business success, and particularly artistic achievements. The intersections of these lines are considered powerful energetic spots that can boost one’s psycho-physical abilities. Inspired by Eastern concepts and the spiritual and material culture of Istria, these dragon lines imbue Smolići with an almost mystical energy, making it not just a location, but a profound retreat for the soul.
