Why Dolina Retreat
Dolina Retreat rests inside a rare natural bowl — a quiet
valley shaped by limestone hills and time. Protected
from noise, wind, and distraction, the land naturally
holds stillness.
Here, mornings begin with filtered sunlight, birdsong,
and cool mountain air. The walnut orchard opens into a
wide, grounding expanse — ideal for slow movement,
mindful breath, and long pauses between thoughts.
Separation from the city is not just physical, but sensory.
No traffic sounds. No visual clutter. Just forest trails,
open skies, and space to reconnect with the body’s
natural rhythm.
Yoga at Dolina is not practiced on the land — it is
practiced with it. The terrain invites grounding. The
silence deepens focus. The setting gently supports rest,
clarity, and presence.
This is not a retreat designed to escape life —
but one that helps you return to it, aligned.

I’ve been training with Mallika for almost 2 years now. I feel I’ve gotten a lot more calmer since I started. And I just feel like a lot of stress is exiting me in between so many Asanas. Thanks a lot Mallika for these beautiful sessions.
The movement classes and the balancing sequences are my favourite. Love your voice tone, it’s very calming and you talk with these proper meaningful pauses, that don’t anxiety induce nor let a person lose your train of thought they’re following. You engage properly, I haven’t “worked out” worked out in yearsss but I enjoy max doing your classes, I bunk your classes lesser than I bunk work. What I also really love is that wty you teach has been alot of a mix of things I’ve learned in karate, other sports that I’ve done bachpan main, so it’s basically alot of call back to things I’ve done, like muscle memory. You’ve also reduced my anger slightly, thanks to the breathwork I apply post yoga! Thank you Mallika for the good one hour sense of calm I feel after literally almost a decade that is not substance induced 🦋.
