✨S velikim veseljem vas pozivamo na 5. sezonu Ljetne školice joge za djecu, namijenjenu uzrastu 10 do 14 godina.

Tijekom srpnja i kolovoza želimo djeci pružiti siguran, poticajan i zabavan prostor u kojem će kroz jogu, igru, kretanje i druženje razvijati zdrave navike, jačati samopouzdanje te kvalitetno provoditi ljetne praznike.

Školicu vodi Dajana Mrsić Bjelopera, certificirana učiteljica Yoge i Kids Yoge, diplomirana kineziologinja s više od 20 godina iskustva rada s djecom. Kroz razne sportske i edukativne aktivnosti pomaže djeci razvijati motoričke, socijalne, komunikacijske i emocionalne vještine.

Zašto joga za djecu i mlade?

Istraživanja pokazuju da redovito vježbanje joge može:

✅ poboljšati koordinaciju, ravnotežu, snagu, fleksibilnost i držanje tijela

✅ pomoći u smanjenju stresa i napetosti te pridonijeti boljoj emocionalnoj regulaciji

✅ razvijati svijest o disanju i tehnike opuštanja koje djeca mogu koristiti u svakodnevnim situacijama

✅ povećati koncentraciju, fokus i sposobnost održavanja pažnje

✅ jačati samopouzdanje i pozitivan odnos prema vlastitom tijelu

✅ poticati kreativnost, suradnju i socijalne vještine

✅ pružiti aktivnost bez natjecateljskog pritiska, u kojoj svako dijete napreduje vlastitim tempom

✅ razvijati zdrave životne navike i ljubav prema kretanju

🌿 Day 5 of our Erasmus+ course "Empowered Educators: Yoga & Mindfulness for Thriving in Education" in Dubrovnik, Croatia 🇭🇷

The day began with a nourishing morning practice: a yoga session, followed by pranayama and a body scan meditation, helping us arrive fully in the present moment and connect with ourselves before the day's learning.

Although three of our participants had to leave a day earlier, they were very much with us in spirit and in our hearts throughout the practice and the day. 💙

Day 5 focused on building a sustainable yoga and mindfulness practice. Together, we explored how lasting well-being is not created through perfection or intense effort, but through small, consistent practices that can adapt to the realities of everyday life.

We reflected on the power of habits, identity-based change, mindful daily routines, interoception, and the importance of creating practices that support us through busy, stressful, and challenging times.

A key takeaway was simple yet profound:

✨Start smaller than your ambition, but stay more consistent than your mood.

Through practical exercises, discussion, and reflection, we explored how mindfulness can move beyond formal practice and become part of daily activities like: walking, listening, teaching, breathing, and simply pausing throughout the day.

As educators, sustainable practice is not about doing more. It is about returning to ourselves, again and again, with awareness, compassion, and consistency.

🌿 Day 4 of our Erasmus+ course Empowered Educators: Yoga & Mindfulness for Thriving in Education in Dubrovnik, Croatia 🇭🇷

We explored how mindfulness can be meaningfully integrated into the classroom to support learning, emotional well-being, and positive relationships.
We reflected on the idea that classroom management is not about controlling students, but about creating the conditions where learning can flourish.

Through mindful communication, compassionate teaching, caring routines, active listening, and intentional classroom design, educators can cultivate environments where students feel safe, connected, and ready to learn.

A powerful reminder that teaching is not only about delivering content, it is about building relationships, creating community, and supporting the whole human being.

When teachers bring presence, compassion, and awareness into the classroom, learning becomes more meaningful for everyone.

We concluded the lecture with a beautiful yin yoga session supported by yoga hammocks, followed by a deeply soothing sound bath.

Thank you for these amazing videos ❤️

Day 3 of our Erasmus+ course Empowered Educators: Yoga & Mindfulness for Thriving in Education in beautiful Dubrovnik, Croatia 🇭🇷✨

Yesterday we explored the power of positive emotions in education and how joy, gratitude, curiosity, hope, and connection can transform both teaching and learning.

Through reflection, discussion, and experiential activities, we discovered how emotionally aware educators create classrooms where students feel safe, valued, and inspired to thrive.

One of the highlights was our mindful walk as an embodied practice 🌿🚶‍♀️🚶‍♂️. Moving mindfully through Dubrovnik's stunning surroundings, we practiced presence, sensory awareness, and connection with ourselves, each other, and nature.

Learning, moving, reflecting, and growing together. 💙

Day 2 of our Erasmus+ course - Empowered Educators: Yoga & Mindfulness for Thriving in Education, invited us to explore one of the most human aspects of teaching and life itself: our relationship with difficult emotions.

In the most beautiful classroom nature could offer, surrounded by ancient olive trees and accompanied by the gentle presence of peacocks, we learned that mindfulness does not ask us to suppress negative emotions, but rather to recognize them with awareness, curiosity, and compassion.

By becoming aware of our emotional patterns, we create the space to respond wisely instead of reacting automatically.
What made the learning especially powerful was that it immediately moved from theory into experience. Following the lecture, we engaged in embodied mindfulness and yoga practices that help us break the stress reaction cycle.

Beneath the olive trees, we were reminded that every challenging emotion carries an opportunity for growth, and that by caring for our own well-being, we create the conditions for our students to flourish as well.

"Between a trigger and a response, there is a space. In that space lies our freedom to choose." 🌿🦚✨

🌅 Sunset Flow & Mingle

U subotu, 6. lipnja u 19:15 h se družimo na plaži Copacabana uz posebno sunset izdanje našeg Strength & Stretch flow-a.

Dok sunce polako zalazi nad morem, Rhubin će vas voditi kroz praksu koja spaja najbolje od pilatesa i joge.

Prvi dio sata posvetit ćemo buđenju snage, stabilnosti i energije kroz pilates inspirirane vježbe koje aktiviraju cijelo tijelo, jačaju core i stvaraju osjećaj lakoće i snage u pokretu.

Kako se približava zalazak sunca, usporit ćemo ritam i prijeći u yoga flow fokusiran na istezanje, mobilnost i svjesno disanje. Kroz pokret i dah stvarat ćemo prostor za opuštanje, balans i povezivanje sa sobom, dok nas posljednje zrake sunca prate prema kraju prakse.

Nakon sata ne žurimo kući!

Ekipa Relaxed Dubrovnik i Copacabana Beach pripremit će buffet s ukusnim snackovima i osvježavajućim sokovima kako bismo nastavili večer uz druženje, upoznavanje novih ljudi i stvaranje zajednice.

Dođi zbog pokreta.
Ostani zbog energije, druženja i zalaska sunca. ✨

Most people see the class. 🧘‍♀️
They don't always see the preparation, the cleaning, and all the little details that happen behind the scenes.

From setting up the space to cleaning every mat after class, it's all part of creating a welcoming experience for our clients. 🩵
And honestly? It's worth every minute.
