Wild serenity in Montenegro
Fitness Retreat


with Yaz Mohamed (London)

13 – 20 September 2026
Crisp mountain air, endless forest, and fitness that truly recharges you.
Fresh mountain air, forest views, and soul-nourishing fitness — join Yaz Mohamed for a revitalising barre and pilates retreat in the heart of Montenegro’s breathtaking Lovćen National Park. Surrounded by wild beech forest at 1,000m above sea level, this is a land of pristine wilderness, unique air climate, and timeless stillness.
A Rough schedule
You’ll have two sessions a day with Yaz:
one Barre and one Pilates.

One day will have just one class to give you some free time to relax or take a day trip (to the Adriatic coast or a neighbouring cultural/historical town or city).


Expect to be challenged in Yaz’s classes, and discover muscles you never knew you had — all while moving to an absolute banging playlist!


Each class will be 45 minutes and will provide a full-body workout. Classes are for all levels, with modifications and progressions always given.

BARRE: This is a low-impact class designed to strengthen and tone muscles. We move at a slower pace,  focusing on core strength and stability. This is a great class for anyone living with long/short-term injuries, and also pre- and post-natal.


PILATES: Pilates offers a holistic approach to fitness by improving core strength, flexibility, posture and overall body awareness. Yaz's Pilates classes continuously flow, so the body is always stimulated. Expect to feel challenged (particularly in core and balance exercises), yet revived and stronger!
When you're not taking classes with Yaz, and when we're not joining together for a beautiful breakfast or dinner, there will be plenty of time to relax, enjoy the facilities at Ashuma, or take a walk/hike around the local area (Locven National Park). You can curl up with a book in the forest lounge, sway gently in a hammock beneath the ancient beech trees, or enjoy the tranquillity of your tent’s outdoor space.
Where you will live
Each of our tents has a private entrance and its own outdoor space. Tents are fully equipped with authentic teak furniture combined with Siberian larch flooring. Bathroom are attached and are equipped with all necessary facilities.
What you will eat
Уou'll indulge in delicious and nutritious vegetarian cuisine served buffet-style twice a day. We employ interesting cooking methods like sous-vide and crafting raw desserts to preserve the maximum nutritional value of ingredients. Treat yourself to healthy and flavorful meals in the cozy ambiance of our retreat

    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 lounge area is comfy and peaceful. I'm ready to return! Highly recommend.

    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.

    A 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 S
    We 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.
