What don\u2019t you mind hearing amongst the silence? The roar of the sea, the twitter of birds, the chirping of crickets \u2026 At Hotel Lemongarden on the Croatian island of Bra\u010d, the silence is something quite special.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sun glitters through the tops of the trees, the waves crash gently onto the pebble beach and the soft breeze wafts past the end of your nose. I experience all of this in the new yoga pavilion on the private beach at Hotel Lemongarden<\/strong>, from which the beauty of the natural surroundings can now be appreciated all the more intensely. A programme for the first yoga retreats at the Lemongarden<\/a> has been put together with the help of Ben Rakidzija.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Silent flow<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The yoga teacher practises Silent Flow<\/a>, a free interpretation of Hatha yoga, Vinyasa Flow, Yin yoga and Qigong. There are also fascia training exercises and other forms of movement. But why make it silent? All of the classes take place in silence and so offer the opportunity to really be at one with yourself<\/strong>, no matter whether you\u2019re a beginner or an experienced yogi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yoga, meditation & poetry <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Ben Rakidzija isn\u2019t just a trained yoga teacher.<\/strong> He is also an educated philosopher and historian<\/strong>, composes prose and poems and organises the Lit.Eu literature festival in Opatija, which authors Marie Gamillscheg, Markus Orths and Franzobel have all attended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The aim of my lessons is to promote a strong body and a clear mind. Every class is different, every day is new. I don\u2019t force my students and try to find a balance between strength and relaxation, <\/p>says Ben, who in the evenings doesn\u2019t need much encouragement to share stories about his many yoga experiences.<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\"Hotel<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Trance-inducing lounger<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Between the morning and evening yoga sessions and a refreshing dip in the sea, it makes sense to spend plenty of time in the private spa<\/a><\/strong>. Guests can enjoy the Finnish sauna made out of cedar<\/strong>, a steam room boastin<\/strong>g a combination of light and aromatherapy with lavender, lemon, lime and orchid fragrances, and an experience shower.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Those who haven\u2019t yet laid on one of the ergonomically designed, blue illuminated AlphaSphere loungers really must. Developed by the Viennese artist known as SHA, the lounger transports users into a trance-like state thanks to a sea of tiny vibrations, gentle electronic sounds and changing coloured lighting inspired by chromotherapy.<\/strong> Afterwards, you feel as though you have been in another world, where everything is beautiful and pink. Luckily it is still beautiful when you come round, only now it\u2019s not pink but turquoise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s recommended that you stumble your way straight to a Lemongarden aromatherapy session<\/strong> and enjoy a relaxing massage<\/strong> on a lounger using lemon and orange essential oils. In this deeply relaxed state you go to yoga again, then curl up in bed afterwards with the blissful realisation that the next day you will wake up feeling just as good as when you went to sleep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
