MEET YOUR HOST

Hello,

My name's Abdul (Abi for short). I'd like to say thank you for visiting our site. Hopefully you'll find the content interesting and helpful in order to decide whether our retreats in beautiful Croatia are for you?

I moved to UGLJAN from England where I was born and raised in the city of Leicester. I did not think that I’d ever move from the UK but after spending a number of holidays on Ugljan I came to realise how much more rewarding and interesting life can be in this simple, natural and clean environment.


I certainly don’t regret ESCAPING the pollution, noise and congestion of the city.


The venue I have designed and created is the perfect get-away for like-minded persons. It offers excellent accommodation for up to SEVEN people, a large kitchen, dining terrace and living room. The roof terrace is amazing - offering views across the sea towards the mainland on one side and towards neighbouring islands on the opposite side.


The locals have commented that I have the best view on the island..!

YOUR TEACHERS

Hallo,

I'm Jana,

INTUITIVE YOGA, MINDFULNESS MEDITATION 


I grew up in Central Asia, lived in Berlin, Madrid, Tokyo, Zurich, Amsterdam, and currently I am at home in Frankfurt, Germany.


17 years ago I went to my first yoga class which was terrible. Several yoga-free months followed. In hindsight, I am super grateful that I followed my impulse and gave yoga practice a second chance.


From then on, a new world opened up to me full of insights, mindfulness, new feelings and states that were suddenly accessible to me through yoga which I couldn't explain to myself at that time. It was precisely this curiosity for something new and unknown that led me to complete my first yoga teacher training. Many advanced modules, further training, workshops, certificates etc. followed.

For almost three years now, I have been sharing my experience of yoga, meditation and pranayama with my students and I'm always encouraged to continue in order to bring the world closer to YOGA as a philosophy of life and awareness, not just purely physical asanas.

Meanwhile, yoga is my pleasure, my passion, and my lifestyle.


Don't ever stop discovering yourself!

Hello,

I'm Sandra,

YOGA, PILATES, ACROBATIC BODY MOVEMENT & DANCE PROFESSIONAL


Dance, Pilates, acrobatic body movement, fitness and yoga have all played an important role throughout my whole life. Practising yoga was a natural step for me. It helped me overcome obstacles in my daily life. When I'm not teaching or performing, I'm practising.... I don't think a day goes by where I'm not following my obsession.

I've been teaching yoga for over fifteen years. Most of my teacher training was completed in Mysore, India under the supervision of the Yoga Alliance. Scholarship at Svami Vivekanda University in collaboration with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

I'm also trained in reiki healing and various meditation techniques (walking, mindful, transdance and cycling)


During my training in Mysore I attained 200 hours Hatha Yoga and 500 hours Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga teacher training certification.


I am fluent in several European languages including English, Italian, Portuguese, Slovenian and naturally my mother-tongue Croatian.

 

I have worked in Croatia, Brazil, England, Egypt, Algeria and Slovenia.


Namaste,

I'm Rebecca,

YOGA,  MEDITATION, YOGA NIDRA, TRAVELLER


Rebecca was first introduced to yoga in 2010 & quickly fell in love! She maintained a steady practice for 7 years before completing a 200hr Yoga Teacher Training Course in Bali, Indonesia. Furthermore another 100hr advanced teacher training and 50hr of meditation training.


Rebecca loves to travel. Originally from NJ - USA but is currently living in beautiful Croatia.


Having led yoga retreats in Ibiza, Cambodia & on sailing yachts in Croatia she has truly mastered the art on both land and sea.  Through her understanding of yoga philosophies & direct experience of yoga practices, she has gained so much knowledge about herself & life. She feels most happy sharing what has transformed her life with others by creating empowering and supportive spaces for others growth and development.

Her yoga classes have a holistic approach combining meditation, intention, asana, breathing practices & yoga nidra (or deep relaxation). Her meditation classes focus on guiding others to unconditional love, their inner light & universal truth.


Fulfil your life with abundance, freedom and happiness.
