Morning yoga session

Morning

Each morning you will enjoy a yoga class with a highly qualified instructor from MOONSyoga Loft. You will start each day by opening up the body/mind and getting energy flowing from tip to toe; the morning classes will build to a relatively strong flow class, incorporating breath work and mindfulness throughout. Starting softly and working up into a series of slow fluid sequences, each morning class will include lengthening, balancing and strength building poses; a heat building Hatha Vinyasa class. You will eventually come back down on to the ground for a deep releasing stretch and well-earned pre-breakfast savasana.

Hvar Island at leisure

Afternoon

You will have your afternoons at leisure to enjoy as you wish. Take a dip in the pool, go snorkelling in the sea, cycle to the centre of Vrboska or explore the abundant surrounding nature. The choice is all yours,

Evening yoga session

Evening

Each evening you will enjoy a yoga class with a highly qualified instructor from MOONSyoga Loft. The evening sessions will begin with a warm up, like in the morning, but will focus on a particular section of the body, moving more deeply into it through specifically targeted postures. It will be more like a workshop than a ‘general’ yoga class. For example, the first one might focus on hips and hip openers working towards a climax posture such as pigeon/reclined virasana etc. Another evening workshop could be based on shoulders and arms, working up towards arm balances etc. One could be specific to twists, another to inversions etc. An additional benefit of these evening sessions is the education you take away with you off the mat, going home to your local studio with a better awareness and knowledge of the poses/alignment/benefits. The class will be followed by a cool down sequence with time to release, relax and rest the body leaving you ready to float away and enjoy the remainder of your evening.

At Leisure

Morning

This morning will be free to spend as you wish. It is the perfect opportunity for some last minute independent sightseeing or shopping.

Depart Croatia

Late afternoon

In the late afternoon you will have a guided transfer from your hotel to Stari Grad Port. From there you will take a ferry back to mainland Croatia and continue onwards to Split airport for your return flight home.
