DreamScape Retreat, Obonjan, Croatia
DreamLab Yoga invites you to join an epic adventure: a dreamy escape to the Mediterranean - the DreamScape Retreat! Get ready to leave the businees of your everyday life behind and find deep relaxation on a paradise island.
During this 5-day long immersion into movement and mindfulness, you will practice on the beach surrounded by pine trees and crystal-clear waters, enjoy the beauty of untouched nature, and sleep under the star-filled skies.
Location
Far from the hustle and bustle of the cities, Obonjan, an uninhibited island, lies just an hour away by boat from Croatia's mainland.
This small private island is located in central Dalmatia and can be reached by boat from the historic town of Šibenik. Obonjan is known to be an oasis of peace, a complete "stress-free" zone where cars are not allowed, and only a handful of people are permitted on the island at any given time. Modern yet exuding a Robinson Crusoe vibe, the island offers a unique experience, providing everything you need to leave your worries behind and fully relax.
Accommodation
Accommodation on the island is in luxurious, eco-friendly, custom-made glamping lodges.
These beautifully designed lodges offer guests the perfect balance of rustic glamping charm and modern comforts, including air conditioning, locks, and private bathrooms. The standout feature of this accommodation is the stunning view from each unit - whether it's the astonishing scenery of the sunset over the sea, a breathtaking view of the crystal-clear waters, or a calming panorama of the lush pine forest.

Reviews
"I absolutely loved the retreat! The island was a paradise, with peaceful atmosphere that instantly made me feel relaxed. The diversity of the course offerings was impressive, ensuring that each day was filled with new and exciting activities. Highlight for me included the somatic yoga session and the partner yoga. The experience was incredibly resourcing, leaving me feeling rejuvinated and inspired. I would highly recommend this retreat to others. It's a perfect blend of relaxation and personal growth." - Marjorie Jorrot
"It was a wonderful experience. I liked the group, the yoga & pilates and the program. The island was magical and it felt like a real vacation." - Nicole Renard
"As expected, the retreat was amazing! The island was breathtaking, and what could be a nicer start to the day than doing yoga in a lovely group with awesome teachers on a platform overlooking the sea, and directly going for a swim afterward? I'd certainly recommend doing another retreat with Leda and Yuliya, as they've created an inspiring and varied schedule and an atmosphere in which everyone could feel seen, welcome, and loved. I can't wait to do another retreat with you - thanks for everything!" - Juliane Drauschke
"I absolutely loved this retreat! The location was already incredible but most importantly the program was very well currated and balanced. It had everything you need for a wholesome experience, from physically demanding classes over mindfulness workshops and ceremonies to more relaxed activities. :) " - Luis Kann
"Dear yogis, here is my feedback to the amazing retreat in Croatia. The arrival and return was super well organised. Leda suggested as well some plane lines to arrive in time and organised a bus shuttle to the boat destination. From Šibenik Croatia we all met in time and took together the private boat to the island Obonjan. The island is amazing, super beautiful, well organised and the food was also very delicious. The days at the island were very good scheduled with yoga and pilates classes, meditation, cacao ceremony and interesting fun workshops. You could feel Leda and Yuliya put a lot of effort in the organisation of the retreat. Both of them always create a very nice atmosphere with lovely people! The yoga classes and pilates classes were so much fun and a good mix of tough and doable workout. It was always a very good start in the day, after that you don't feel bad about eating a lot at the restaurant. :D I totally enjoyed the retreat and I would love to go there again. <3 - Delina Oster
"I loved it! I have many reasons: the location was perfect for our practices, the diversity of the practices and workshops, attendants, also personal time to process and chill on the island. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who's interested. <3 " - Simona Cilliers
"It was a wondeful retreat, hosted and facilitated with so much thoughtfulness and the place was incredible too. Would definitely recommend it to others and also participate again. Tiny minor idea for improvement is that I would have loved to have more than only two of Leda's signature DreamLab Yoga classes at the beginning and end, which is what motivated me the most to participate in the retreat (I enjoyed the other classes too but the DreamLab-style classes are just phenomenal and I could definitely have more of them in a retreat). Other than that it was also super nice to have such a wide mix of workshops and classes to also try out new things." - Felicitas Röhrig
"It was the most beautiful retreat I have ever attended and everyone I showed the photos to was amazed. It was the perfect time of the year and therefore not corwded. I hope next year you will offer something similar." - Renate Bischke
