Albania Yoga Retreat
5 – 9 September 2026
Return to What Matters
Step away from noise and routine and into stillness, nature, and embodied presence.
This five-day yoga retreat is an invitation to slow down, reconnect, and remember what is essential — through movement, breath, and community.
Set in a remote and peaceful location overlooking the Albanian Riviera, this retreat offers space to reset the nervous system, strengthen the body, and realign with your inner direction.
Sankalpa
The intention of this yoga retreat is to return to what is essential: our connection to nature, to community, and to ourselves.
Sometimes we become so absorbed in our routines that we lose sight of what truly matters in our lives. We begin to neglect ourselves and may feel disconnected from our sense of purpose. This retreat creates the space for each participant to find their way back to what drives them, to cultivate a sense of wonder—for all that is alive and for the infinite possibilities that life holds for each of us.
Through traditional yoga practices informed by therapeutic approaches, we will calm the nervous system, strengthen the body, and quiet the mind.
Community is at the heart of this experience.
We’ll move through these days together — practicing, exploring, reflecting, and holding space for one another. Shared time in nature, from hikes to long afternoons by the sea, will deepen our sense of belonging.
This retreat is also an opportunity to truly immerse yourself in the beauty of Albania — its landscapes, its culture, and its warm, grounding presence.
We invite you to slow down. To reconnect. To arrive in the present moment — and discover what unfolds when you give yourself the gift of being fully here.
Sample Schedule
-
Our mornings are dedicated to a complete and nourishing yoga practice — including asana, pranayama, and meditation. Each session begins with a short philosophical impulse to gently set the intention and tone for the day, inviting reflection and inner clarity. We will close with an open savasana, giving you the space and time to fully arrive, integrate, and let the practice settle deeply into your body and mind.
-
Each day, we’ll enjoy a nourishing, locally sourced brunch featuring fresh Albanian produce — restoring body and mind after our morning practice.
-
Beyond our yoga practice, we’ll immerse ourselves in the natural beauty of Albania — hiking the hills around the retreat centre, spending long, replenishing hours by the sea, and exploring charming nearby towns along the Albanian Riviera. These gentle excursions offer a chance to experience local culture, breathtaking landscapes, and the unique character of this stunning region.
-
Each evening, our Ayurvedic chef will prepare a nourishing vegetarian dinner, thoughtfully crafted to support digestion, balance, and overall well‑being.
-
After dinner, we’ll take time to rest and digest before gathering again for a grounding evening session - yin yoga, a reflective workshop, or a quiet meditation beneath the stars. The Kolibri Retreat Centre is located in an area with very little light pollution, allowing the night sky to open up above us and creating a profound sense of connection to the vastness of the universe ✨
