Daily Schedule:
Day 1
ARRIVAL + OPENING CIRCLE We’re picking you up in Karlovac and driving you to the Ekodrom Estate. Once you settle in and refresh, the opening circle starts at 17:00. Tatjana will introduce Five Pillars of the Retreat so you can make the best of your time at the retreat. At 18:00 our in-house cook ….. will serve a delicious dinner made with fresh local ingredients. The evening is open for stargazing and bonfire. Warning – very relaxing!
Day 2
YOGA + LEISURE TIME Our morning starts with an introduction to meditation session led by Tatjana, followed by a simple healthy breakfast. We continue with a Dynamic Mindfulness yoga session at 10:00. Lunch is at 13:00 after which you can relax in a hammock, outdoor tub or sauna, book an in-house massage or explore the plum organic farm and its surroundings. We meet again at 17:00 for a moving meditation session and Sanja will serve dinner at 18:00. Evening is reserved for relaxation, sauna and…deep sleep!
Day 3
YOGA + MASSAGE Our day starts with walking meditation in the woods, followed by a healthy breakfast. Playful yoga session builds upon the sequence introduced on the first day. Delicious lunch, relaxation time and then a special afternoon session at 17:00: a self massage course for deep tissue release led by Tatjana. After dinner, the evening is reserved for stargazing around the bonfire, or an individual sunset meditation on the porch.
Day 4
YOGA + PLITVICE LAKES You already know our morning routine – guided meditation, breakfast and Yoga. After that we’re heading off to Plitvice Lakes National Park – a string of 16 terraced lakes, joined by waterfalls extending into a limestone canyon. They are one of the most famous sites in Croatia and are listed on the UNESCO Heritage List. Rich dinner will be served as soon as we arrive back home. And the last touch of the day – a non-formal circle around the fire.
Day 5
YOGA + RETURNING HOME Last days we start with a gentle moving meditation, followed by a Yoga session and a closing circle. Delicious brunch will be served. Departures are in the afternoon latest by 15:00. Hopefully, with a clear mind and happy heart :)
What people say about this yoga retreat in Croatia:
The program, location, accommodation, teachings, food.. all fantastic. We were immersed in pure nature, logging in these lovely wooden huts.. seating around a fire in the eves with soul music on the background and shooting starts as a roof. Or enjoying our private hot tub. We learned soo much from our teacher, soo much more than the physical practice of asanas.. a true inspiration. At the end I think we could all see how this retreat transformed us all in some way. Thank you!

Lodging
Ekodrom Estate is a perfect place to let go of worries and to be carefree.
Set in an idyllic and supremely private location, you can stroll through beautiful plum orchards and lush greenery. The property consists of 4 houses that belonged to Grandmother Ljuba and today, they belong to her grandson Marko. One house used to be a barn and the other two were cattle stables.
Marko and friends have renovated these traditional constructions into modern houses. Each house has an outdoor private hot tub. Sauna and in-house massage are available as well.
