Description of the main practice – Surya Kriya:

Surya Kriya is a potent 21-step yogic practice of tremendous antiquity, designed as a holistic process for health, wellness, and complete inner well-being. It activates the solar plexus to raise the Samat Prana, or solar heat, in the system. It also balances a person's left and right energy channels, leading to stability of the body and stillness of the mind. Traditionally available only to select groups of yogis, Surya Kriya is being offered by Sadhguru as a comprehensive spiritual practice that is ideal for the hectic pace of today's world.

Benefits of Surya Kriya:

  • Develops mental clarity and focus
  • Remedies weak constitutions
  • Boosts vigour and vitality
  • Balances the body, mind and energies
  • Rejuvenates all the major organ systems including balancing hormonal levels
  • Supports one to become meditative and experience peacefulness and joy

Additional practices that will be taught during the retreat:

Nadhi Shuddhi
A Yogic practice that cleanses the nadis – the pathways through which prana (vital energy) flows – resulting in a balanced energy system and psychological well-being. It relieves anxiety, stress and psychological tension, and brings balance to your thoughts, activities and emotions, so you can enjoy a deep sense of peace throughout the day.

AUM chanting
AUM chanting is a powerful practice that aligns the three fundamental aspects of the system – body, mind and energy – leading to a more profound experience of life. It helps stabilize the body and mind, thus eliminating psychological disturbances and alleviating chronic ailments. AUM chanting creates a powerful basis for further inner exploration.

Isha Kriya meditation
The purpose of Isha Kriya is to help an individual get in touch with the source of his existence and to create life according to his wish and vision. Daily practice of Isha Kriya brings health, dynamism, peace and well-being. It is a powerful tool that develops mental clarity and focus and creates mental stability.

Your journey awaits!


About Kate
When I was first introduced to Isha Hatha Yoga, I had a 12-year career as a diplomat and I was working in the Mission of my country, Montenegro, to the United Nations in New York. My job was quite diverse, dynamic, and rewarding, including lots of travel and interesting encounters. However, the experience of Isha yoga opened completely new dimensions of life in me, bringing an all-pervasive sense of gratefulness and joy. I was deeply touched as I witnessed how these ancient yogic practices transformed my life and the lives of many people around me over a few years, so I decided to leave my professional career and become a full-time yoga practitioner and teacher. I completed the Isha Hatha Yoga Teachers Training in Sadhguru Gurukulam, Coimbatore, South India - an intensive and immersive 5-month program (1750+h of training). With this unique training, I received the gift of sharing and offering classical hatha yoga in its purest form to the world.

    Ašuma silent retreat
    This place, set in Lovcen National Park, is amazing. I could tell that there was a lot of thought and care put into creating it. I joined a silent retreat and it was just perfect. Accommodation is 5star glamping…all the way down to a plush robe and slippers! Food is delicious and the lunge area is comfy and peaceful. I'm ready to return! Highly recommend.

    Yoga retreat
    I would like to start my review by expressing deepest gratitude to all staff at Ashuma retreat for helping us to host our first retreat in Montenegro. Each of them have made organising a retreat seem like a holiday to both participants and organisers despite flight delays and cancellations coming from the UK! This was my first fully catered retreat where literally the only thing I had to do as an organiser was to manage our practices and make sure all participants have been taken to and from the accommodation. Everything else has been done by a super friendly team. Some of them we haven't met in person but have hours of online communication from the moment we decide to book the venue to the moment we have left and beyond. The retreat center is beautifully located up in the mountains, where you get the feel of an African safari camp on one hand (I have many under my belt) and a feel of Asia on the other, thanks to many stunning pieces of furniture and arts from Indonesia. I am a huge fan of both countries hence seeing this fusion in Montenegro has been an extraordinary experience. When we select a venue, it is vital for us to leave as little footprint as possible and Ashuma has met all of our expectations of an eco - friendly yoga retreat centre. Every aspect of the nature surrounding is tranquil and blissful, it is a truly majestic place for hosting yoga and meditation retreats. Ashuma grounds and yoga shala/venue are in superb condition, it is a newly built centre so everything around is in excellent condition and it was an absolute pleasure to practice on a wooden floor, using mats and blankets made from the natural materials. The food was amazing, well prepared with love and deliciously served. Even though we will make some changes to our menu next time, the beauty of Ashuma staff is that they listen and cater to what you require. Service was at a 5 star level, everyone in Ashuma helped us and our guests with anything we needed. The ambience of the place is unbelievable! We are coming back soon and I have a feeling there will be many more collaborations in the future!

    Such an amazing place! The location is so quiet and surrounded by green, all you can hear is birds. The tents are wonderful and attention has been paid to every detail - I loved sleeping practically outside but still in a comfortable bed. Food was also healthy, local and delicious. My retreat was only for two nights but I would have happily stayed another week. Can't wait to return.

  • Maria S
    We have an amazing experience in Ashuma right now, September 2024. From the very first day being here is like to be in a fairy-tale: very special place, where natural beauty is connected with lovingly created man made space. Even the smallest details are so well thought, convenient, and ful of soothing positive energy. Tents are lovely to stay, and all other spots (yoga hall, dining area, chill out gathering space etc.) are planned and made with lots of love. Nice to touch, beautiful to see, pleasure to be. And last, but not least is a group of people who make all of this work. Their work is impeccable, they are always here for you in a very genuine, kind and delicate way! Guy, you are truly amazing! Thank you for everything you do.
