Sacred Earth Yoga Retreat
Where the Earth Heals & the Soul Awakens
29 Jun – 5 Jul 2026 | Tryavna Bulgaria
Now in its second year, Sacred Earth Yoga Retreat welcomes you to the gentle embrace of bohemian rural Bulgaria — a week devoted to rest, renewal, and reconnection with the rhythms of nature and your own soul.
Surrounded by whispering forests, wildflower meadows, and the song of a cool trickling creek, you’ll be held by the healing energy of the land. Here, each breath draws you closer to stillness; each sunrise invites you to soften, ground, and remember your natural state of harmony. This is a space to release what’s heavy and let the Earth nourish you back into balance.
Hosted by the RisingSoul Community, our retreat unfolds in late June — when the sun is warm, the days are long, and the land overflows with abundance. Sweet strawberries and cherries fill the air with fragrance, and gardens offer vibrant fruits and vegetables fresh from the earth.
This is more than a retreat — it’s a gentle return to yourself.
A time to move, breathe, and heal surrounded by nature’s wisdom.
A sanctuary where you can be still, be nourished, and be renewed.
Come and experience the magic of Sacred Earth Yoga Retreat — where the Earth holds you tenderly, the river restores your spirit, and your soul blooms in its own divine rhythm.

EXPLORATION OF LOCAL CULTURE
For those who wish to explore beyond the retreat grounds, the charming nearby towns of Tryavna and Veliko Turnovo offer rich cultural heritage, vibrant local markets, and delicious traditional cuisine—perfect for those eager to indulge in Bulgaria’s authentic flavours and history.
Day Trip to Veliko Tyrnovo (Optional)
Apart from Tryavna, which is a cultural gem, the old mountain capital of Veliko Tarnovo is well worth a visit. Located on the Yantra River and known as the “City of the Tsars” it is just a 25 min drive away North. We’ll explore the old town river view restaurants and spectacular castle and cathedrals. Veliko Tyrnovo has a more cosmopolitan vibe than Tryavna and has a rich culture, historic buildings and fabulous river views.
Day Trip to Tryavna (Optional)
A visit to the charming town of Tryavna is highly recommended. The beautifully preserved traditional buildings around the town square are a feast for the eyes, showcasing the town’s rich history and architectural heritage.
Wander through the many craft shops offering hand-carved woodwork, traditional Bulgarian pottery, and iconography. Cafés and restaurants invite you to sample a variety of local foods and drinks, while the clock tower chimes each evening to the accompaniment of classic Bulgarian songs. Tryavna is truly a must-see destination!

Last Retreat Testimonials
Ewa Macur, 12 Sept 2025
‘I recently attended a yoga retreat in Bulgaria led by Evelina, and it was an incredible experience from start to finish. Being in her homeland made it even more special: the location, beautiful nature surrounding, the atmosphere, and all the thoughtful details came together wonderfully. The retreat offered the perfect place to reconnect and recharge, great environment for relaxation and self-discovery surrounded by peace and harmony.
Evelina has such a warm, caring personality and made everyone feel truly comfortable and supported. She put so much attention into every class, each one unique and meaningful. She incorporated breathing techniques, meditation, even moments of her beautiful singing. Her nurturing presence and mindful approach created a truly heartwarming and unforgettable retreat experience.‘

‘I had the chance to meet Evelina in Bulgaria during a wonderful yoga retreat, and it was truly an amazing experience. I’m so grateful that my first yoga retreat was with her. Evelina taught me so much — not only about yoga, but also about mindfulness and self-connection. She was always present, open for a chat, and ready to offer kind advice and support. Her guidance helped me through a challenging week filled with emotions, and I left feeling lighter, stronger, and deeply inspired.‘
