- Ray RobertsonAfter yoga the effects could be smiling, energy, laughter from nowhere, rediscovering my senses: lights were clearer and brighter, smells changed, hearing was more vivid. Truly amazing. Without a doubt. It has changed my life and I have no doubt that my life will continue to change with future sessions.
- Kate HAšuma yoga escapesSuch 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.
- Tania IA magically beautiful secluded place in the mountains, attentive and very sincere staff who were ready to fulfill any request, delicious, healthy vegetarian food filled our 7-day retreat with peace and happiness. Thank you. I wholeheartedly recommend Mountain Retreat Center Ashuma for people who want to find peace and harmony.
- Maria SWe have an amazing experience in Ashuma right now, September 2023. 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.
- Martine KapteinI had a wonderful time in Montenegro. Lacking much experience with yoga and meditation I did not know what to expect. My beliefs and convictions about myself and my abilities were holding me back before but here I was able to let a lot of it go. Thanks to a very positive and powerful group and two fantastic hosts - Victoria and Margarita. And please let's not forget the beautiful accommodation with its great staff.
