Question 1

Why do you need a yoga retreat?

Accepted Answer

In our busy routines, it has become normal to feel exhausted, restless, and anxious. We lost track of how it is to be in touch with nature and with ourselves. Each of us, whether an entrepreneur, a parent, or an artist, needs time to pause and reflect. Attending a retreat is a next level recharge. It is a time and space to disconnect, rekindle your passion, and come home feeling better and ready to take on new challenges that life has to offer.

Question 2

Is this type of retreat right for me?

Accepted Answer

The concept of our retreat is to work through the body, which serves as a primary tool for growth. Through yogic asana (postures) and pranayama (breath), practitioners build awareness, resilience, and emotional stability. Since there will be multiple classes and workshops focused on yoga poses and movements, you can expect some degree of physical intensity. However, there is no mandatory requirement to attend every practice or workshop.

Question 3

What kind of yoga style will I practice?

Accepted Answer

Each morning begins with a yoga flow on the sea view deck, designed to energise and centre you for the day ahead. In the afternoons, Jelena leads mobility sessions with a different theme each day — covering vinyasa transitions, hip openers, and inversions. Your first morning will begin with a Yoga Therapy Flow, which will help you find your alignment and set a positive tone for the week. Jelena will offer alternatives to challenging poses or transitions so the practice suits each individual's needs.

Question 4

Can complete beginners attend?

Accepted Answer

There are no prerequisites to this retreat. The program is designed to meet the needs of practitioners at all levels, from complete beginners to advanced. Even without experience, Jelena will guide you to start your yoga journey in a safe and supportive environment. For poses and transitions, Jelena will offer alternatives and introduce resting checkpoints.

Question 5

What is included in the retreat price?

Accepted Answer

The retreat includes 6 nights accommodation in a beachfront modern luxury villa in Nečujam Bay on Šolta Island, 2 daily nutritious meals (brunch and lunch), water, tea, and coffee served throughout the day, a welcome drink, daily yoga sessions, afternoon mobility workshops, a full day island hopping excursion, yoga mats and props, swimming pool and sauna access, beach access, transportation from and to the island ferry port, WiFi connection, and luggage storage.

Question 6

What is NOT included?

Accepted Answer

Flight costs, travel insurance, visa fees, ferry tickets, dinner (restaurants and a grocery shop are within a 5 minute walk), additional treatments or activities not listed in the itinerary, and a villa damage deposit of 100 euros in cash per person which is fully refunded if the property is not damaged.

Question 7

What kind of food will be served?

Accepted Answer

You will enjoy healthy vegan and vegetarian food, freshly prepared at the villa. You can expect low fat meals such as salads, bowls, and soups. Two meals are served daily (brunch at 11:00 and lunch at 14:00). Water, tea, and coffee are available throughout the day. Dinner is on your own, with restaurants and a grocery shop just a short walk along the coastal path.

Question 8

Where exactly is the retreat located?

Accepted Answer

The retreat takes place on the island of Šolta, located in the immediate vicinity of the cities of Split and Trogir. The beachfront modern villa is situated in the bay of Nečujam. Mediterranean plants and the calm pace of island life make the surroundings feel private and secluded. A market, restaurant, and coffee bar are all within a 5 minute walk along the picturesque coastal path.

Question 9

What does a typical day look like?

Accepted Answer

Each day follows a relaxed rhythm. Morning tea or drink of your choice, followed by a yoga flow on the sea view deck, then brunch. After some free time to enjoy the pool, beach, or sauna, lunch is served followed by an afternoon mobility session. The rest of the day is yours to relax, cycle, kayak, or explore the island. On Day 4, there is no yoga — instead you will spend the full day island hopping by boat.

Question 10

Who is the teacher?

Accepted Answer

Jelena is an experienced yoga teacher and practitioner with over 10 years of international teaching experience, having guided thousands of students across studios, retreats, festivals, and private luxury settings.
