A week-long immersion of yoga, movement, meditation soaking up the golden light and warmth of midsummer on the enchanted island of Brač ~ with a curated curriculum of practices to both purify and renew body, mind and spirit.
Revered and ritualized since the dawn of humanity, summer solstice offers the alchemy of fire, light and balance as the sun stills at zenith, poised between uttarayana (northern movement) and uttarayana (southern movement).
Group that exhales
Brač is one of Croatia’s most captivating islands — a place where nature, history, and community are deeply intertwined.
The island’s sun-drenched hills are covered in vineyards, olive groves, and aromatic herbs, where goats and sheep graze freely, giving their cheese its unique, rich flavor.
Perhaps most famous is Zlatni Rat Beach in Bol, a world-renowned stretch of golden sand shaped by the wind and sea currents — often named among the most beautiful beaches in the world.
It’s a vivid reminder of how nature continuously shapes the island’s coastline.

A seamlessly incredible experience from start to finish. This was my first time doing any kind of retreat and I think I'm spoiled now as, according to others on the trip, this was indeed an exceptional retreat experience. The location, property, and amenities were exquisite, the food phenomenal, and the curriculum profound. Highly recommend.💜

“My retreat experience with Tamara and Sierra on Brac island totally exceeded my expectations. The location, the villa, the food, the service, and the yoga were all just what I needed to rejuvenate mind, body, and soul. Highly recommend. 🧘🏼♀️💕💫”
“Tamara gave us the most lovely private yoga session next to the sea. She was ever so helpful and accommodating leading up to the session as well as the session itself, which was so relaxing. We would highly recommend Tamara!”
