CHELMSFORD, U.K. - Nov. 20, 2014 - PRLog -- Wellbeing holiday specialist Satvada Retreats is thrilled to announce it is running its first Yoga and Walking Holiday in Croatia next year, from May 23-29 2015 (six nights, seven days).

Set on the tranquil island of Brac, in a beach-side villa, with pool and gardens, the Yoga and Walking holiday is suitable for all levels of yoga practitioner and includes an optional two daily 90-minute yoga classes. a morning hatha flow class and a gentler yoga and mindfulness meditation session before dinner. Also included are two guided walks from the door (between two and three hours' long). There is also an optional trip to a nearby monastery, while the island's lovely capital Supetar is a beautiful off-road 25-minute stroll away.

Food is super-fresh, vegetarian and mostly sourced from the villa owner’s garden, and lovingly prepared by our cook - a favourite local chef and restaurateur. Expect fragrant, organic dishes bursting with flavour.

While the emphasis is on healthy eating, the retreat also aims to be sensuous, and every afternoon guests can sit down to tea and fresh cakes and pastries.With its laidback vibe, famed light and space, and stunning but unspoilt countryside, Croatia offers the perfect venue for truly escaping and unwinding
