Itinerary
Day 1 to day 4
Day 1
Begin your Croatia Yoga Holiday by travelling independently to Split. This buzzing city, set between mountains and sea, is Croatia's second largest and home to the UNESCO-listed Roman monument, Diocletian's Palace. Make your way to our hotel and take in some sightseeing and enjoy Split's lively streets, filled with cafes, bars and restaurants, ahead of joining our fellow group members for tomorrow's transfer to Hvar and the commencement of our yoga holiday.
Day 2
This morning you will have a guided transfer from your hotel to Split Port. From there you will board a ferry to cross over to Stari Grad Port before an onwards transfer to your hotel in Vrboska, a charming village located on the Croatian Island of Hvar. Your hotel in Vrboska enjoys a secluded location just 20m from the Adriatic Sea. Surrounded by pine forests, it is the perfect place to base yourself for a reviving yoga retreat.
This evening enjoy a “Meet & Greet” with your highly qualified yoga teacher from MOONSyoga Loft. It will consist of a quick welcome chat so you can get to know your yoga teacher and fellow yogis, followed by a stretch session. You will be taken through a slow and mindful yoga flow, stretching out any tensions you may have. With the help of your expert yoga teacher you will then fully shift into yoga holiday mode with a grounding meditation. This will help you settle in to the new space and prepare you for a beautiful nights rest. A yoga mat will be provided locally for all yoga sessions.
Day 3
Each morning you will enjoy a yoga class with a highly qualified instructor from MOONSyoga Loft. You will start each day by opening up the body/mind and getting energy flowing from tip to toe; the morning classes will build to a relatively strong flow class, incorporating breath work and mindfulness throughout. Starting softly and working up into a series of slow fluid sequences, each morning class will include lengthening, balancing and strength building poses; a heat building Hatha Vinyasa class. You will eventually come back down on to the ground for a deep releasing stretch and well-earned pre-breakfast savasana.
You will have your afternoons at leisure to enjoy as you wish. Take a dip in the pool, go snorkelling in the sea, cycle to the centre of Vrboska or explore the abundant surrounding nature. The choice is all yours,
Each evening you will enjoy a yoga class with a highly qualified instructor from MOONSyoga Loft. The evening sessions will begin with a warm up, like in the morning, but will focus on a particular section of the body, moving more deeply into it through specifically targeted postures. It will be more like a workshop than a ‘general’ yoga class. For example, the first one might focus on hips and hip openers working towards a climax posture such as pigeon/reclined virasana etc. Another evening workshop could be based on shoulders and arms, working up towards arm balances etc. One could be specific to twists, another to inversions etc. An additional benefit of these evening sessions is the education you take away with you off the mat, going home to your local studio with a better awareness and knowledge of the poses/alignment/benefits. The class will be followed by a cool down sequence with time to release, relax and rest the body leaving you ready to float away and enjoy the remainder of your evening.
Day 4
Today, enjoy a last breakfast at our hotel. In the late afternoon we will have a guided transfer from our hotel to Stari Grad Port. From there we will take a ferry back to mainland Croatia and your tour will end in Split. We hope you will leave Croatia with wonderful memories of your stay and your Yoga Holiday experience.
