"I could quite easily spend months there, a week was not long enough..! The retreat was in a beautiful location surrounded by meadows and stunnning views. The amount of yoga practice we did was just right and the studio was a converted barn that enhanced great energies, the food was all locally sourced and yummy. The added bonus for me was all the other extra oppurtunities we were given, I had an particularly an amazing time rock climbing, something i do at home but to practice in the bulgarian mountains was awesome. We went on quite an epic walk aswel that everyone loved, so i would recommened taking hiking boots! Last but not least.. my yoga practice progressed a great deal and i achieved a few things i had been trying for a long time. I would recommened this trip to anyone :)

"Dharma Yoga holidays in Bulgaria was the most happy and exciting week
I have spent for a long time. In terms of my Yoga practice, I have
never been able to make so much progress in my asanas before thanks to
close and fantastic motivational support and a group work spirit. On
top of hours of daily practise, we were able to discover the beauty of
the Bulgarian mountains and nature going for walks, hiking, rock
climbing or horse riding soaking up the peacefulness of the
breathtaking surroundings. We have also enjoyed delicious cooking of a
professional chef and spend a lot of time socialising and having fun.".

"My first visit to Martin and Frans Yoga retreat took my breath away! for once i was speechless! The views and early morning walks gave me time to reflect on my year so far and after changing jobs and health concerns it was a well needed break from the hustle and bustle of my daily life!
A fantastic programme (optional of course!) of visits to local towns, spas, monasteries and waterfalls kept me entertained and offered me the chance to experience new adventures such as horse riding and rock climbing. The food (cooked in the style of the local cuisine) was amazing and all the produce was fresh and local - even the orchard in the grounds kept us adorned in plums and apples.
The daily yoga practice and individual tailoring and adjustments has helped me achieve a new level! I have now been able to stay in a routine and have managed to correct a poor sleep pattern through the art of meditation! Many Many thanks for this haven and i cant wait to come again next year!"

Owners Fran and Martin have created a beautiful Yoga Retreat in the mountains of Bulgaria. Accomodation, food and the company are all fantastic. However the best part is the countryside walks and the daily Yoga. Its the perfect place to stop for a week, gather your thoughts and improve your practice in the most idilic surroundings.
Highly recommended!
