Dear Friends,
​
I am so excited to announce my second retreat this year!
First one was in March here in Dubai where I live, and now we sail a bit further away to beautiful and exotic Zanzibar!
We will arrive to Zanzibar early in the morning on Friday and have 4 days together filled with yoga, meditation, breath work, some asana workshops, self-inquiry discussions and practices. In between we will take naps, go diving/snorkeling, enjoy a cultural tour, walk the endless white beaches, drink fresh coconuts, read and make friends. There will be plenty of time for both togetherness and time alone for reflection and rest.
I don’t know about you, but when I think of Zanzibar I imagine a dream like land...land of beautiful deserted beaches, clear turquoise ocean, blue skies, coconuts... and even though I have never been there before, I feel time is just slower there. And that’s what I yearn for. For slowness. Softness. To listen and observe. And that is my wish for all who join - to experience whatever is calling for nourishment within each of us. Space is limited to allow for an intimate yoga experience and all levels of practitioners are welcome.
​
Hope to see you in Zanzibar! Please see details below.
All my love,
Danica
When not practising outside by the ocean, Yoga will be practiced in a purpose built yoga shala with a refreshing breeze and plenty of air circulation.

Retreat testimonial:
​
“ It has been short but a very impressive and an unforgettable journey : my 3 day Yoga retreat with Danica.
Her professionalism, her humble nature, combined with her amazing teaching skills made this retreat truly an unforgettable one. Also the Yogis who joined the retreat were well chosen and were nearly all were on the same level.
Danica, very carefully picked up a super venue for this retreat (Jebel Ali Resort) and outdoor facilities added a great value to our practices.
I would recommend Danica’s retreats to all Yogis who would like to enjoy perfect Yoga practices in beautiful surroundings."
