This is my first time in Cappadocia in November. I am loving it all -

the intensity and crispiness of light, but without the heat,

how the leaves of apricot trees are more orange than the fruit they bear

the peace and quiet, even in the center of Göreme

the loud rustling of waulnut leaves

sharp shadows of birds as they fly over the rounded Cappadocian slopes

I didn't know this, because it's my first time here in November, but autumn is THE season of Cappadocia.

The time has almost come for our yearly pilgrimage to the Himalayas. We start off on the 15th of November and this year we are taking it a step further all the way to 4000m altitude. This will for sure be an advanture, a challenge, and a feast for the eyes. I still have two spots left if you want to join and also I am giving you a heads up that next year I won't be doing this retreat, and who wants to wait till 2026 to take a trek in the Himalayas off of their bucket list?!

I still can't process all the beauty we saw over the week at our yoga cruise in Turkey.
We had a week-long summer extension with the best food (no photo evidence as it would disapper at light speed), most amazing sunrises and sunsets, sleeping under the stars, swimmimg in bays with florescent plankton, doing yoga with the gentle rocking of the boat, snorkling all day long, and hiking through this remote landscpe dotted with ancient ruins and few locals that always welcome us with a cup of tea and a genuine smile.
I always feel that spending so much time on this boat and in these waters over the years has completely ruined me in the sense that every other boat, any other cruise that I've been on for me has just been... well it's nice.
Honestly, there's no better way than to experience Tuskish coast from a beautiful boat! ⛵️💙

06/10/2024

People often ask me which of my retreats is my favorite. It's kind of a tricky question, but on the other hand also the answer is kind of easy.
Greeting from The Boat, people! ⛵️💙

If you've ever visited Turkey, doesn't matter the region, you have for sure seen this pretty-looking dark blue glass bead in all shapes and sizes hanging in every shop, restaurant, and office. It's also often worn as a piece of jewelery. This is Nazar Boncuk, in English reffered to as Evil Eye. The origins of it far predate the existence of modern Turkey - it has been used as an apotropaic device (averting bad luck) for millenia in this form all across the Mediterranean.

The belief is that a malicious or an envious look from someone can cause harm and the Nazar Boncuk is there to literally soak in this energy into itself.

What I find interesting is that this belief of evil eye has existed all over the world in unrelated cultures. For example, in Serbia, we use a piece of red thread that is tied to one's wrist for the same purpose of protection. This is often used by newborn babies and pregnant women, as they are seen as particularly succeptible to the influence of malicious looks. It's not uncommon even today to see babies with a red thread tied around their wrist.

Is there a similar practice or a belief in your culture, something that's used to avert "bad energy"?

Just a bit more than a month left before we board our dear ship and spend a week cruising the most beautiful Mediterranean bays you've ever experienced. I have a few spots left on the boat, so don't wait to long, otherwise you might miss out on all the turqoise waters, all the magnificent views, all the yoga on the boat, and all that magnificent Turkish food. This is the holiday that you need.

Here are my recommendations of some things to do in Istanbul if you have more than a couple of days in the city. If you're there just for a day or two, then of course, go to Aya Sofia and Blue Mosque, roam around Sultanahmet, choose one of the palaces, shop in a bazar. But if you have some time extra after you've covered all the essentials and you want to avoid the biggest crowds, these are some of my favorite places. I'll share only three today, apparently I have too much to say about Istanbul for Instagram's word limit. 🤪 I'll share more in the following days. 🙏

1. Süleymaniye Mosque - this is a truly magnificent mosque from the 16th century designed by Mimar Sinana, the famous architect. Equally impressive as the interior of the mosque is the view from it's front yard. I think this my favorite viewpoint in the city and my second or third favorite mosque in the city. You can combine this easily with your trip to the Grand Bazaar and the Egyptian Bazaar. If you continue roaming the streets uphill, you'll reach this beautiful mosque. Even if you're not into mosques, or islamic architecture, still go for the view.

2. Kuzguncuk - a beautiful charming area by the Bosphorus, it's a bit away from the major places of turistic interest, so I'd say still at least a bit undiscovered by mass tourism. Go here to roam the streets, by handmade goods, and have Turkish breakfast. If you're pressed with time, you theoretically can combine Kuzguncuk with ⬇️ 📷

3. Prince's Islands - if you haven't been to Istanbul, I bet you didn't know that there are islands that are considered a part of the city. Well, there are several of which four are open to public and unless they will most likely eliminate three biggest headache triggers you might have in Istanbul - too much traffic, too many people, and too little greenery. There are no cars on these islands, like none. 🥰 They are gorgeous places to spend the whole day roaming around and admiring beautiful villas and their perfect gardens. You can also rent a bike and go to the top of the island for views like this. 📷

There are places in this world that captivate human imagination so easily. Cappadocia is certainly one of such places- the land shaped by millenia of wind and water erosion and centuries of human devotion. Nature made this place into a kind of a rocky desert, but sustained love and devotion of the people who have been living here has transformed it into a work of art. For me, there is no other place on Earth where Nature and human worked so harmoniously to complete each other. Cappadocia is full of secrets and what you see from up above is completely different from what awaits you once you start walking through this wast lanscape where churches, monasteries, ancient and modern dwelings are literraly carved into the fabrics of nature.

If you've been to Cappadocia, what made the biggest impression upon you?

If you want to catch different perspectives of Cappadocia with me this November, the link is in Bio, and the retreat is happening from the 2nd till the 9th of November.

A few shots from our week in the embrace of the Magic Mountain. 💚💙💛🩵 As always, we spent a fabulous week outdoors, being blessed every day with these views. As always, the week passed at light speed. I am already looking forward to be back to next year. Thank you Nikolina and the family for taking such good care of this place for all of us!

About today 💙

What a beautiful week it was in this spectacular place. This was my 11th retreat at and even when I do 11 more I can never get tired of the beauty and magic of this place. 😍 (Heads up that starting from next year, we'll even have an in house sauna, right next to the icy mountain stream. Just when I thought that a place can't get any better 🥳).

We practice with a lot of dedication every day. We explored the beutiful suroundings, the river pools, the olive groves and the medieval fortress. We went on a day trip to the charming village of Petrovac. Like every year, we went kayaking with .outdoor. This year they also took us to a beautiful winery and that is how we managed to salvage a gray rainy day. 💚. We were treated as princesses (and as a prince) in gorgeous .carsija spa. Our dearest Magi cooked delicous food for us. We also celebrated a birthday together.

We all spent a lot of time just soaking up this beautiful place, reading, writing, contemplating, and having heart-to-heart conversations.

I am deeply grateful to everyone who joined this retreat and participated with their energy and intention to making this such a good week! 🥹

Till we meet again! 🙏❤️🙏

LAST CALL for a yogic adventure in Montenegro! I only have one last available spot, so one last chance for you to discover the wild beauty of this hidden gem destination. Come and join us in our daily yoga and meditation practice and visit some off the beaten path places in Montenegro. It's a week that can't disappoint, that is for sure.
See all the details in my link in Bio and don't be shy to get in touch if you're having any doubts or questions.

26/04/2024

There's only one month left till we are in gorgeous Montenegro for our Under the Olive Trees Yoga and Meditation Retreat. The week we spend here leaves very little to be desired - we live in a gorgeous stone house tucked in between olive groves that feels very remote but is actually 10 minutes walking to a cute old town and the remains of a medieval fortress. We do yoga every day on soft grass surrounded with trees and birds and after the class we go for a refreshing dip in a mountain stream that runs just in front of the house. (optional, but recommended). We explore the area and hike to several hidden river pools and waterfalls. We take a daytrip to Skadar Lake National Park to marvel its beauty and taste the locally produced wines. We even have a beach day combined with a scenic coastal hike along the Adriatic coast. Oh, and also there's a gorgeous spa in our neighborhood with amazing massages if you want to pamper yourselves.
The best news is I still have three available spots in this retreat, so if all of the above sounds like your kind of a holidays, get in touch.
All the info is in the link in my Bio

Have you made any exciting summer plans yet??
As always, My Yogic Adventure summer is in the Balkans and in our case that means wild rivers, mountain lakes, beautiful sunsets, yoga with the view, good food, and amazing people 😊
So if you want to join us, I have left you the links to my Balkan retreats in the Bio.
Know that the availability is very low in all of them. 😉
We kick start the summer with a retreat in Montenegeo from the 26th of May. I still have three available spots in this one
Then we go to Macedonia from the 15th of June. Four available spots.
Up next is Bosnia from the 6th of July. Also four available spots.
And then Serbia. This one is practically sold out, but if you really want to join, hit me up, I might be able to squeeze you in.
No retreats in August, because I also have a soul and I also like summer holidays 🙏
Then we finish with another retreat in Macedonia in September, from the 21st.
See you soon in the Balkans!
Check the links in bio and don't wait too long 💚

Our first retreat in Spain ended today and what a beautiful week ot has been! We got to spend two days in Granada before the retreat, being completely blown away by this city. We enjoyed endless tapas and wine, we got to admire spectacular beauty of Alhambra and went for a powerful flamenco show. Despite very weird weather for this part of the world (local people told us they can't remmember the last time it rained every day for a week), we still had a blast. Ww practiced every day in a beutiful yoga hall overlooking with the view of the mountains, we went for the Caminito del Rey hike, we visited three gorgeous white villages - Competa, Frigiliana and Nerja, and we tasted some really good Spanish vines. Most importantly, we spent the week with old and new friends laughing, sharing, and supporting each other on our journeys through inner and outer landscapes. I am so grateful for all the women who joined this retreat! 🙏

When the Mountains are calling, I hope you are ready to answer! Because who hasn't at least once in their life though how enchanting it must be to walk through the Himalayas, to live with this mountain for a week, to have the snow capped peaks at the reach of your hand! Just thinking about the Himalays is giving me goosbumps. 😊 So this November I'm taking you to Nepal again for a yoga trek and the mountains will be closer than ever. We'll do the Mardi Himal trek and I guarantee that it will leave you breathless (in more ways than one 🙊). The spots are already being booked, so don't wait too long! And if you don't want to wait till November, there's another yoga trek in Nepal happening in April and being led by an amazing Nepalese teacher Ramesh. All the info about both treks is in the links in my Bio.

I'm always excited when I add a new dsstination to my offer, but when I add a new hidden gem in the Balkans... that's a different kind of excitment for me. 🥳
So finally here it is - a new retreat in Stolac, Bosnia, a true hidden gem of the Balkans, during which we will also visit some well known spots close by, like Mostar and Trebinje. The week will be epic, I promise. I mean, just look at these photos. And then also look at the details in my link in Bio. Hit me up with any questions and see you in Bosnia this summer!

23/01/2024

Hey my yogis and adventurers! I've just published new dates for our amazing yoga trek in the Himalayas that I am organizing together with
Last year we had the best time ever with our beautiful guides and and the interest was so big that the trek got sold out within weeks, so this year we decided it to it twice - once in spring and once in the fall. The one in April will be led by a great Nepalese teacher Ramesh whose deep knowledge of yoga, but also of the local hostory and culture you will for sure enjoy and appreciate!
I still haven't published the dates for November, you'll have to wait a bit longer for that one. 😉
So, have a look and let me know if you have any questions. Here's the link: http://www.myyogicadventure.com/embracing-the-himalayas---yoga-trek-with-ramesh.html

18/01/2024

Something new and exciting is cooking up in MYA kitchen, and I'll provide you with all the details soon, but for now, know that it features the most gorgeous blue-green rivers, dozens of waterwalls, wild juicy figs, glorious sunsets, ancient ruins... ok, that's enough, can't reaveal all the secrets, this is just a teaser, but you're going to love it, I promise! Can you guess the location?

14/01/2024

Did you know that late March in Southern Spain means already beach weather? So, basicaly, there could be just a bit over two months between you and the beach. Man, this is a comfortinh thought 🏝🏖🌅☀️
And as part of our retreat in March, we'll have a beach day in Nerja, a hidden gem of Costa de Sol. It's a charming small town with white-washed houses, cobbled streets, beautiful beaches, a spectacular cave, and this beautiful waterfall. Of course we don't want to miss on any of that!
Check out all the info in the link in my Bio and don't hesitate to get in touch if you need any further info!

Have you ever heard of Caminito del Rey in Spain? It's one of the most spectacular hikes you can imagine! The path passes through stunning gorges on a walkaway pinned onto the vertical cliffs and offers truly spectacular views sprinkled with a bit of adrenalin. 😉 Now, why am I telling you all of this and showing you these stunning photos? Because I'm taking you to El Caminito on my Exploring Inner Landscapes retreat in Andalusia this March! Check out the link in the comments and don't wait too long to book as I only have two rooms left available.

Hey my dear yogis! It's been a while since we had our first morning coffee or tea together, somewhere in the mountains, with a beautiful view, just after our yoga class... during our silent breakfast 🥰 Who is missing this? I'm sure I know at least a couple of people who are missing the silent breakfast, and a few who for sure aren't 😉😉
But anyway, just because we are scattered around the world doesn't mean we can't share a tea together. ☕️🫖
So, I'm leaving you a short guided coffee break meditation I recorded years ago somewhere deep in Serbian wilderness, specifically on that balcony on the third photo. Find the link in the comment section of this post. You can listen to in on app or directly in your browser.
The rest of the photos are from the same trip. I really miss the mountains, can you tell?
Anyway, when you wake up tomorrow, or before you go to sleep tonight, make yourself a cup of your favorite hot beverage and let's share a moment together.
Till we meet again somewhere in the mountains 🙏

This is the space between the cycles. One has ended and the other one hasn't started yet. Welcome to the in-between, the precious and the damn in-between, the moment in space/time where all opportunities and and all possibilities converge. The time where everything could be, but nothing really is. The place where everything has been brought to a halt but we still feel we haven't finished finishing, neither have we started starting. Maybe it's a bit uncomfortable, this precious and damn in-between. It's ok.
This is the moment between breaths exetranlized, that one tiny moment that escapes us so easily if we're not paying attention and the sages of old say that it is in this precise moment that meditation happens, when one breath has ended and the other one hasn't begun yet.
This pause is short (unfortunately? thankfully?), so don't lose it, don't waste it. Between finishing and starting, the best we can do is reflect. 😉 ❤️❤️

15/12/2023

It's been more than a month that we have finished our very first yoga trek in the Himalayas and I feel I'm still processing everything that has happened internally and externally over the course of the week that we spent up in the mountains. All the sunrises, the sunsets, the incredible views of the Himalayas, the stars, the fairy forests, the waterfalls, all the dancing, laughing, sharing, and of course the inner journey that everyone went on. It all seems like a dream and I find it hard to belive that it happened at all and that it is over. I am beyond grateful to and Tashi for helping me make this happen and for sending the best guides anyone could wish for with us and 🙏🙏🙏🙏
What made this trip so special for me was my amazing group. 🥰🥰🥰 Guys, can you also come again next year, we'll go on a different route? 😊

Yoga & Meditation Retreat at the Top of the World

This perfect place in Nepal! Peaceful. Quiet. The best view. I just can't wait for our "Top of the World" Yoga and Meditation retreats this fall. Oct 16-23 Nov 1-8 http://www.myyogicadventure.com/yoga--meditation-at-the-top-of-the-world.html

Green Paradise Yoga and Meditation Retreat

We only have 3 places left for our Green Paradise Yoga and Meditation Retreat. If you like what you see, better hurry up! :) June 26 - July 3, 2107 http://www.myyogicadventure.com/green-paradise-yoga--meditation.html

Why you should make Sun Salutations your daily practice Sun salutations could in itself be a complete asana practice - as it is a mix of forward bending, gentle hip stretches, back bending, axial extension of the spine, some gentle core work, and resting in stillness. It's a good opportunity to practice synchronizing your breath and your movement. If you do it at a bit faster pace, it can give you some cardio workout. If you do it slowly, you can pay attention to fine tuning each pose, get more stretched out and observe the response of your body and breath in each pose. Always do some gentle warm up before starting the sun salutation practice, especially if you're doing it first thing in the morning. Always begin and end with Tadasana, observing your body, breath, balance, and your mind's fluctuations. I like to begin with a warm up, followed by two rounds flowing with the breath, and the third very slow round. 😊 The most important thing - do it for the sake of doing it. Don't get attached to benefits, or what you can gain or lose. Just savor the movements. Savor the breath. Enjoy the practice - that is the ultimate gain. 🌞🙏🏼🌞🙏🏼🌞🙏🏼

If you would like to do yoga with me in this place from 7th till the 14th of August, check out the details at http://www.myyogicadventure.com/rustic-adventure-yoga-and-meditation-retreat.html The video was take from the very spot where we will have our daily yoga and meditation practice. 😉 It will be a special kind of a retreat, made with the idea of creating a small yogi community to practice, explore, cook, share, and inquire into ourselves together. 🙏🏼😊 #yoga #yogaretreateurope #travel #travelyoga #serbia #community #togetherness #ilovenature #magic #magicofnature #paradise #breathein #bliss #bestview

If you like this view, go ahead and check our Green Paradise Yoga and Meditation Retreat in June. Daily practice, leisurely walks in the hills, home- cooked food, peace and silence. See all the details at http://www.myyogicadventure.com/green-paradise-yoga--meditation.html

The benefits of walking barefoot: * Working the muscles of your feet which are pretty much completely inactive while we are wearing shoes * Strengthening the muscles around your ankles and strong and well-aligned ankles mean less problems for your knees * It is pretty much impossible not to pay full attention to your steps when you are walking barefoot outside, making it a perfect setting for a walking meditation practice * Feeling more grounded and more connected to nature, to the Earth and to the sensations in your body The video was taken on the path to Skandha Cave, on Arunachala Mountain, where Ramana Maharshi meditated for seven years. "Forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair."

Reminiscing about this view and amazing times spent at Begnas Lake with Ljiljana Škrobot Helle Skjærbæk Shrestha Paula Renée Rashkow Alice Chacha Dom Ananda Charlotte Vhck Sascha Hilgen Michele Hales Julie Williams-Nash Steffi Jehle Sending you all lots of hugs! 😊🙏🏼
