Yoga retreat in the Rhodope Mountains
€450.00
Dates: 12.06-14.06 2026
Location: Forest Diva House, Vacha Dam
At the beginning of summer, when nature is at its most alive and the air brings a sense of new beginnings, we gather in one place, created for silence, presence, and true inner return.
Hidden among the ancient forests of the Rhodope Mountains, on the shores of the Vacha Dam, lies Forest Diva - a secluded nature retreat center, far from noise, roads and everyday life. This is the second exclusive retreat in Bulgaria with Laura Rodenas Saez - an international yoga teacher whose work is known for its depth, sensitivity and ability to lead people to a true inner experience.
Laura comes directly from Bali to share the knowledge she gained in some of India's most ancient schools and ashrams. Her approach combines movement, breathing, and mindfulness in a way that gradually dissolves the tension of the mind and returns the body to its natural rhythm.
Practices with Laura are not just yoga classes. They are a space where people begin to feel more clarity, lightness, and a deeper connection with themselves.
This experience is designed for people:
- who feel they need to break away from the constant rhythm of everyday life
- seek a deeper connection with themselves
- want to experience yoga and inner work on a deeper level
- value quality, meaningful and transformative experiences
You don't need to have many years of practice.
