Yoga in Nature
Hvar Island, Croatia
Join us for a 5-day Yoga in Nature Retreat hosted by Home of Yoga and MOYO Nature Training, on the breathtaking island of Hvar in Croatia.
Nestled in the peaceful 12th-century village of Dol Sveta Ana, surrounded by pine forests, ancient stone houses, and the calming breeze of the Adriatic Sea, this retreat offers a unique opportunity to reconnect with yourself, others, and the natural world.
​
Each morning begins with a sunrise yoga session, held either on a scenic terrace or in a peaceful indoor studio. Rooted in Vinyasa and Hatha traditions, the daily yoga practice focuses on different areas of the body such as your core, hips, shoulders, or back. In the afternoons, you’ll take part in themed workshops that help you safely explore posture progressions – including optional inversions like headstands – guided by experienced teachers.
​
Beyond yoga, this retreat invites you to explore the rich landscape and culture of Hvar through daily outings to beaches, hidden nature spots, and historic towns. In the evenings after a relaxing yoga class, we gather for meaningful conversations, yoga philosophy, stargazing, and moments of shared reflection.
​
Enjoy the transformative journey at our partner retreat in Hvar nestled in the enchanting island village of Dol. Your accommodation will be in charming cottages or suites, in shared or private rooms. Accommodations are comfortable and serene: guests share rooms with someone of the same gender, unless a single-supplement is requested, and bathrooms are shared within cottages. This setup fosters connection while ensuring everyone feels at ease.
At the retreat, you’ll enjoy vegetarian meals with a Dalmatian twist, using fresh, organic produce—often sourced from the retreat's own gardens. Breakfast and dinner are thoughtfully designed to support and balance your yoga practice (with water, herbal teas, juices, and
seasonal fruit included with each meal). If you have dietary requirements—such as vegan, gluten-free, lactose-free, or yogic—they're happy to accommodate upon request.​
All meals, (non alcoholic) drinks, accommodation, ferry to Hvar, internal transfers on Hvar, yoga and activities from Monday afternoon till Friday morning are included*. You only have to train, bus or fly to the Ferry Terminal in Split, where we will wait for you to start this adventure (ask us for advice on transportation).
Minimum 7, maximum 8 participants.​
​
* All MOYO programs are (aside from transport to Split Ferry Terminal) fully inclusive, and this program also includes a 10% give back, that flows into a fund to a) support nature in the areas we operate in, and b) benefits new trainees through (partly) funded training programs.
