Forest Wellness Retreat in Montenegro's Lovćen National Park

This retreat is set at Ašuma, a 10-hectare eco-sanctuary tucked into the forests of Lovćen National Park in Montenegro. It's the middle of nowhere in the best possible way — ancient beech trees, clean air, and views across empty valleys. But it's not isolated: Cetinje, the old royal capital, is 15 minutes away, and the coast is within reach for a day trip.

Your teachers are Yaz, Suze, and Jeison. Yaz handles barre and Pilates, bringing lots of energy and a great playlist. Suze's classes are intelligently sequenced vinyasa, rocket, and yin — you'll both soften and strengthen. Jeison blends Reformer Pilates with Qigong and somatic movement in a way that feels less like a workout and more like rediscovering how your body likes to move. Together they lead twice-daily practices, so you get a real range of styles in one week.

The accommodation is part of the experience — luxury yurts with proper beds, ensuite bathrooms, and private terraces. You've got a choice of private or shared tents depending on what kind of trip you want. The common areas are cosy, the food is cooked fresh twice a day, and there's a traditional wood-fired sauna for after your sessions.

What makes this different from a typical yoga retreat is the setting and the mix of disciplines. You're not just doing yoga — you're getting a full-body feel with barre and Pilates in the schedule. And the forest around you is a constant presence, inviting you to walk, sit, and just be. It's a well-balanced week for anyone who wants both movement and real quiet.
