BESKIDY RETREAT
2020 Beskidy mountains retreat: yoga, freedom & hiking
21st-26th September
in Beskidy Mountains
led by Kasia Witek
I warmly invite you to join me for these 6 days of peace and nature in the heart of Polish Beskidy mountains. There will be long walks through the forest and mountain paths, delicious nourishing food & most of all lots of yoga goodness.
Crafted for those who may need time away, who need more space for quiet immersion and deepening of their yoga practice, and finally for those who hear mountains and forest are calling for them...
I found a really special place for us by the river in a beautiful quiet valley in Beskidy Mountains.
where
Jasielowka guest house is located in the charming river valley in the Low Beskids. On one side of the farm is the Kamień mountain, whose summit marks the border between Poland and Slovakia.
On the other side, runs the trail to the former Lemko village of Jasiel, where there is now a unique nature reserve. The landscape around us is covered with herbs, pastures, wild beech forests and murmuring mountain streams.
yoga practice + schedule
There are two yoga spaces available for our practice together: an indoor studio, filled with light and traditionally hand-crafted wooden interior, as well as an outdoor wooden deck for our morning practice in the sun. The space is equipped with yoga mats and props.
The days will begin with an optional meditation session before breakfast. Mid morning we will have a longer practice of dynamic vinyasa. Support and all level variations will be offered to all practitioners. After lunch there will be time to rest or play: nap under one of the garden trees, join me for a forest hike, read on the sun-bathed deck or book a Reiki healing session. In the evening, before dinner, we will meet on the mat again. These evening sessions aim to regulate the nervous system and restore energy: deep yin, restorative, gentle hatha, aromatherapy and/or Yoga Nidra. On one day there will be an alternative schedule as we will venture out on a 5 hour hike to the most beautiful peak of Bieszczady Mountains - there, with a view that can heal the heart, we will enjoy pranayama and meditation session.
All classes are led in my signature style influenced by contemporary dance training, Feldenkrais and somatic practices, Japaneese Zen Buddhist tradition and Qi- Gong.
food + beverages
I have invited a truly dedicated and talented cook, Vegushka to design and prepare all of our meals. You can expect three nourishing vegan meals a day. Coffee and Vegushka's own herbal teas available throughout the day. There will also be delicious treats for the soul. All food made from local and seasonal produce.
