Immerse yourself in practice away from everyday life.
Overview
Our retreats combine intensive Iyengar yoga practice with deep respect for the local landscape and culture. Each retreat runs 4 to 7 days with daily morning and evening practices, free time for rest, and opportunities to explore the region. Groups are kept intentionally small (maximum 14 participants) so that Savelia can give individual attention to every practitioner. Retreats are open to all levels — we use Iyengar props to adapt each pose to your body and experience.

Autumn Escape
Iyengar Yoga Retreat
October 2 – 4, 2026Vadi Makrina Retreat Centre, Gabrovo Balkan, Bulgaria
Three days of calm, comfort and recharging in nature.
Sometimes the most valuable gift is allowing ourselves to stop — to leave the noise of everyday life behind and sink into the quiet of the Balkan mountains. Three days in the beautiful nature around the Vadi Makrina retreat centre, practising Iyengar yoga — a method that builds strength, stability and awareness through precision and attention to detail. Autumn is the season of grounding: a time to return to ourselves, slow the rhythm down and recharge with good home-cooked food and warm company.
