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;

It is summer and we all need to finally rest, recharge and revitalize! Be it busy work schedule of winter and spring, big city hustle and bustle, stressful deadlines, family life pressures or anything else (you name it!), we all need to pause, to reflect, to let go. And then of course we need to reenergize ourselves – to come back from the retreat rested, inspired and recharged.
Our practice will definitely help with that! We will get some morning activation with soft Hatha, some balancing and rejuvenating through special Kriya Raja Yoga techniques, some harmony and peace through simple evening guided Meditation. Nothing is too difficult.
This retreat is good for both beginners and the experienced. The program is balanced and easy on participants, we do not plan to achieve any Olympic goals in fitness or acrobatics, but plan to explore our body, our energy system and our mind – with a holistic approach to all as a whole. As a system which can be adjusted and fine-tuned.
And that's where proven methods kick in.

Kriya Raja Yoga comes from an ancient source, its techniques have been tested by generations of practitioners, its teachings are passed through the lineage of teachers. In some ways it resembles western Kundalini Yoga and yes, in a sense Kriya Raja is its elder authentic sister. But there are differences.
First of all everything is more gradual, natural and softer, much attention is given to purification and connection, before proceeding to more active energizing techniques. Enough said. The rest is to be studied and tried out during the retreat.
See you there!

- 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!

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.
