Max Pranić (Montenegro)
August 5th -10th
5 nights / 6 days retreat to explore yourself through various methods of yoga and yoga-therapy, to relax, heal and restore.
We will look into the core principles and mechanisms of our long lasting state of wellness and satisfaction on many different levels.
The goal is to balance our emotional state and charge our levels of energy. To leave this retreat rested, peaceful and recharged, full of good vibes and positive experience!
"The present moment is filled with joy and happiness. If you are attentive, you will see it."
—Thich Nhat Hanh
This retreat is for those who want to
- come out of this short but effective retreat feeling rejuvenated and full of energy;
- come back home inspired, reset and renewed;
- make their yoga practice deeper and more mindful;
- learn some useful special yoga techniques to be able to use later on your own;
- have some time during retreat for themselves – to pause, to reflect, or just to take it easy and simply chill;
- have more awareness, balance and joy in their life.
We will use different instruments
(some of them secretive before) tested for centuries of unbroken lineages of masters, adapted to our days. They are simple enough, but effective and powerful.
• Nature – we will be staying, enjoying ourselves and practicing in a tranquil setting in the middle of nature - in Lovchen National Park, with mountains, forest, birds, squirrels and rabbits as our witnesses.
• Yoga – nothing will be too difficult or challenging. Soft and mindful practice explained and guided by a highly experienced teacher. We will see that real yoga is not only asanas (of course we will do some too!) but much more!
• Sound – we will listen and absorb the sounds of nature around us, we will also do some sound bathing and sound healing techniques combined with Yoga Nidra and other meditative tools of Nada yoga - the yoga of sound.

• Breath – we will explore how breath affects our body, mind and our wellness in general. This is the most underestimated and under appreciated aspect of yoga, which we will learn to employ fully.
• Awareness – this is the key to being present. It is connected to our breath too. We will explore the subject and learn simple techniques to be more present, to be more aware, to be more connected. This will lead us to a sense of a more full, balanced and harmonious life.

- Sarah LAšuma silent retreatThis 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 lounge area is comfy and peaceful. I'm ready to return! Highly recommend.
- 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.
- Ionela Patrascusunrise pymIt was awesome! Everything was truely great from the place, the quiet, the crickets and the birds to the staff very friendly and ready for us all the time. We will came back here every year for sure!
- 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.
