Accommodations
Our B&B is in a charming location in Mala Strana (Lesser Town), right under the Prague Castle. It offers the best of both worlds – a tranquil ambiance that allows you to unwind and a convenient proximity to the historic city center and the vibrant city life. With excellent accessibility via public transport and just a short stroll away from the city's major attractions, our B&B is an ideal location for this one-of-a-kind adventure.

Do I need a visa or special documentation to travel to Prague?
If you are a US Citizen, only a US passport is necessary for entering the country. Please check expiration dates as some countries or airlines require that your passport be valid for at least 6 months after the date of your trip. Non US Citizens should check with their country's requirements for traveling to the Czech Republic.
Can I get a refund if I have to cancel my trip?
If you are no longer able to attend the retreat, please contact us as soon as you know. Since this is an international travel, please do not wait, as there might be people on the wait list who need to make their plans and get their their travel arrangements in order. View our refund policy.
What if I have to cancel last minute?
It is always a good idea to purchase travel insurance, especially when traveling abroad. We recommend Allianz Global Assistance.

We’ll let you know if there are any specific items you need to bring. In general, you should bring clothing and shoes you feel comfortable in for walking.
Can I meet other participants beforehand to get to know the group a bit?
Yes! We’ll create a WhatsApp group chat leading up to the retreat. This is a great place for you to connect with others who wish to coordinate travel and we’ll also use it throughout the retreat to keep everybody in-the-loop. There will be a pre-trip zoom info session (recorded for those who cannot attend live).
Is Prague safe?
Prague is generally a very safe city but as with any large city, it has its share of pickpockets, especially in crowded places and popular tourist destinations. The best way to stay safe while visiting Prague is to use common sense and be aware of your surroundings.
Can I stay longer or arrive earlier?
Yes, please contact us with the dates so we can help you arrange extra hotel reservations.
Can my partner/husband/wife/friend join the retreat but skip the yoga classes?
Yes, however, there are plenty of Prague tours that don't include yoga, and the special thing about this retreat is our holistic and community oriented approach. The yoga classes are a part of our mission to foster a sense of wellbeing and shared experience.
Do I need to bring my own yoga mat and props?
Yes, please bring a mat, and a strap. If you do not have these props and are not sure where to get them, please get in touch for assistance.
How much yoga will we do during the retreat?
We will do one yoga practice per day, either Hatha yoga in the morning or Yin yoga in the
afternoon, depending on our sightseeing schedule.
How much walking will we do during the retreat?
Prague is an extremely walkable city so bring a comfortable pair of shoes and expect to be doing
a considerable amount of walking every day. The city also has an excellent, reliable public transportation system. In addition to walking, we will take some scenic rides by tram.
