Higher Than The Mountains

with Simin and Aga (Germany)

Your Yoga Retreat in the Mountains of Montenegro 9 - 13 June 2025 5 days/4 nights

This retreat is perfect for you if

• You have been looking for a German-speaking yoga retreat in Montenegro
• You want to explore this wonderful place in a nice community
• You have set yourself the goal of spending more time in nature
• You want to crown your daily yoga practice with a Thai Yoga Massage and/or a sauna visit
• You value delicious vegetarian-vegan food
• You would like to have the option of various excursions without having to decide this when booking the retreat

We will gather at the beautiful Ašuma Retreat to practice yoga together, meditate, and enjoy culinary delights. We will spend the evenings around the campfire and, if desired, get to know Montenegro better through several fantastic excursions. Ashuma is located at an altitude of 1000m in the heart of Lovcen National Park and is surrounded by magnificent nature. Accommodation is in luxurious tents, furnished with comfortable beds and fully equipped bathrooms. For brunch and dinner, we will be spoiled with delicious organic vegetarian and vegan dishes. We, Simin and Agnieszka, have already been there ourselves to experience the beauty of this charming spot, the delicious food, and the warmth of the staff. You book your accommodation and meals here on the Ašuma website. We will invoice you separately for the course fee of 339.00 €. Additionally, there are flights, transfers from Tivat or Podgorica (can be organized by Ašhuma), and – if desired – excursions to Skadar Lake, Kotor, or hikes. The excursion program will be discussed with the group before the retreat begins – it is also possible for only part of the group to go on the respective excursions. Excursions are paid directly on site in cash.

Please note

In the mountains, it can get cool (especially in the evenings and at night). So please bring warm clothes to the retreat.

Ašuma is a smoke and alcohol-free place. We ask you to only book if you are willing not to smoke and to abstain from alcohol on the premises. During excursions, you can, of course, enjoy a glass of wine – Montenegro has excellent wines to offer ;)

Throughout the day, you can purchase smoothies and healthy snacks at the bar in the chill-out area.

You can get drinking water from various locations throughout the day.

Where you will stay

Each of our tents has a private entrance and its own outdoor area. The tents are fully equipped with authentic teak wood furniture, combined with a Siberian larch floor. The bathrooms are directly attached and equipped with all necessary amenities.

What you will eat

You will enjoy delicious and nutritious vegetarian cuisine, served twice a day buffet style. We use interesting cooking methods like sous-vide and prepare raw desserts to preserve the maximum nutritional value of the ingredients.
