Amazing view to the Adriatic sea, nice and relaxing yoga, great food, nice people and an overall good vibe to help you relax, recharge and enjoy.

People were… read more great and did everything for us to feel good and welcome.

The yoga practice was calming, enjoyable and suited for everyone. A good way to taste a little bit of more styles and practices.

  I can not recommend Mahakala Center enough. This space is so nourishing and loving, you arrive and you feel immediately at home.

The food is amazing, the owners… read more Vesna and Marijana has a lot of wisdom to share about food, herbs and nourishment. This was very inspiring for me.

The yoga practice and the workshops invited me back home into my body and I got some well needed rest, yet a lot of new energy and inspiration. And the whole week with activities, free time, WS and classes unfolded perfectly.

It was truly a beautiful experience, which I am very thankful for.

Love, Emma

  This retreat was exactly what I needed. I cannot put into words how much I felt during the week.
So many wow-moments everyday.

The warmest welcome, the hardest goodbye.

I cant wait to be back.
I love you Mahakala.
Thank you for feeling inner peace and pure happiness.

  We just can’t rate Mahakala highly enough! We were fortunate enough to participate in this exceptional yoga retreat late October/early November 2020 at the exceptional and thoughtfully constructed Mahakala… read more Yoga Centre, Montenegro.
Everyday we experienced personally rewarding yoga in a mixed ability class overlooking the bay, with the backdrop of mountains behind: breathtaking! We attended all of the varied workshops and become much more in touch with our inner spirits, (the self love workshop was revelational and we loved the sheer enjoyment of Estatic Dance at night around an open fire pit – one not to be missed). You’d imagine we couldn’t fit any more in, but there was a boat trip to a deserted beach; walks, wonderful massage and more! We stayed in very comfortable modern accommodation and everyday we were presented with a different gorgeous vegan buffet, prepared on site and sourced locally.
We’ve already booked to return next year!

  Mahakala is a place like no other. This hidden gem is located by the sea, sheltered by the mountains and lush forests. Eversince my arrival this sacred space felt like… read more home to me and I feel blessed to stay for longer than I expected.

  I love the fact that the centre offers a holistic approach to yoga. It respects the spirituality and mindfulness associated to it. From the place itself, to the yoga lessons,… read more the workshops, the food and above all the people, everything transpires peace. It’s more than a retreat – it’s a journey.

I also highly appreciated that there was diversity in the guests – from all genders, ages and backgrounds that really made us grow as a community.

Our yoga teachers Rhiannon and Edita both created a safe space where we could be ourselves and learn together during our yoga sessions and meditation. The experience is also complemented by workshops around well-being and medicine through herbs that also enrich our connectivity to our body.

I enjoy that the place is genuine with genuine people and not surfing on yoga as a trend.

  Dear Mahakala,

I would like to thank you all for a truly unforgettable experience, this was arguably one of the best weeks I have ever head.

Both yoga… read more teachers (Edita and Rhiannon) are very attentive, knowledgable and shining examples of teaching and guidance to be followed. Both of them adopt a slightly different approach which was (generally agreed on in our group, that ranged from novices to well advanced yogis) ultimately received as perfect combination since we all were able to benefit from both. These teachers are just amazing! Thank you, guys.

Stefanie (an MD specialized in naturopathy) apparently knows almost everything there is to know about Traditional Chinese Medicine and all kinds of herbs around the world. Moreover, she was able to deliver interesting and valuable info in an easy-going fashion which was (and will be) beneficial for all the participants.

The whole staff was taking a great care of us in general – cliff walks, boat tours and did I mention the best vegan food I have ever had?

Rooms and other parts of Mahakala retreat center are clean and cosy with nice touches there and there (chic pieces of decoration, hammocks, etc.) that further improved the whole impression of this place. And the view of the sea – you really need to see for yourself.

The only downside was that the week had just passed way too quickly!

I can (and will) totally recommend! 10 out of 10.

  The best retreat I’ve been to. Stunning mountainous views coupled with a clear ocean around 10-15min walk away. The center has a wonderfully lit shala with a terrace where we… read more did yoga with magical views. Three aspects made this an unforgettable experience for me: 1) the yoga teachers, catering team and others were truly warm, caring and lovely people. 2) the yoga sessions were not just classes but wholesome experiences, with each day having a particular theme relating to mindfulness. I could feel my own progression both physically and mentally through the days 3) the experiences which I had during my stay at the centre, from gazing at the thousands of stars visible from the rooftop terrace; to going on an amazing boat trip to a private beach with clear warm waters; meaningful, heart warming, deep, fun and hilarious conversations with other guests and the team. Highly recommended. Thank you to the team.

  I am a yoga teacher at Mahakala Center. Ever since I encountered Mahakala Center on the internet about a year ago, I have been dreaming of teaching at this magical… read more place. And a year later, the friendly owners welcomed me as a part of the Mahakala family. This place really showed me how nice it is to be a part of a tribe, of a team of like-minded people who run this place, constantly cooperating to provide the best experience for all the guests. This is not just a yoga retreat, this is a place to restore your faith in humanity and in bright future of kindness and sustainability. It seems this place attracts only nice people who want to grow and connect and become even better people. The plant-based food served here is very tasty and lots of it are organic and from our Mahakala garden. Fresh figs are now in season and they are everywhere! The sea is clean and turquoise.

I… read more feel energised, refreshed and myself again. I had a really hard last couple of months dealing with a lot of things but this retreat gave me time to reflect and learn teckniques to conquer my mental health problems. One of the best things was being surrounded by so much positive energy the owners Marijana & Vesna and all the staff radiate joy and it makes you feel so content and joyfull yourself. The yoga and meditation classes where just what I needed i tried out yin yoga for the first time and loved it. I think i found the style for me. We also had a introduction to the philosophy of yoga as well as other workshops such as learning how to do headstands. Im proud to say i did my forst headstand. But what i learned most is that yoga is not about being flexible or doing crazy positions but it is so much more. It is a lifestyle and a way of living. It is being kind to yourself and the people around you.
