Your host
YAZ MOHAMED
Yaz has been a professional fitness instructor in London for four years. Whether it’s a dance cardio class, a lengthening and sculpting Barre class or a strength-building fitness class, Yaz is experienced in multidisciplinary workouts.
Yaz has trained hundreds of clients in group classes and private sessions, all with her light, upbeat style.
She says, “fitness has always been a part of my life from a young age, I’ve always felt a drive towards how fitness makes me feel empowered.”
The venue
ASUMA RETREAT
Set within a 10-hectare eco-sanctuary, Ašuma offers eco-luxury glamping tents, a spacious yoga shala, lounge and dining space, and panoramic views across untouched valleys and peaks.
With forest trails at your doorstep and the Adriatic coast just a short distance away, it’s the perfect setting for a week of restoration, connection, and adventure.
You’ll spend seven nights at Ašuma in the heart of Montenegro’s forested Lovćen National Park.
The programme
You’ll have two sessions a day with Yaz: one Barre and one Pilates. One day will have just one class to give you some free time to relax or take a day trip.
BARRE & PILATES
Expect to be challenged in Yaz’s classes, and discover muscles you never knew you had — all while moving to an absolute banging playlist! Each class will be 45 minutes and give a full body workout. Classes are for all levels with modifications and progressions always given.
BARRE: This is a low impact class designed to strengthen and tone muscles. We move at a slower pace, focusing on core strength and stability. This is a great class for anyone living with long/short term injuries and also pre- and post-natal.
PILATES: Pilates offers a holistic approach to fitness by improving core strength, flexibility, posture and overall body awareness. Yaz's Pilates classes continuously flow, so the body is always stimulated. Expect to feel challenged particularly in core and balance exercises and expect to feel revived and stronger.
Yaz had put so much effort into the different classes. They were well thought through and had a good amount of variety. The music was also so good!

ADDITIONAL ACTIVITIES
At Ašuma, there’s as much time for stillness as there is for exploration.
Between yoga sessions, you can curl up with a book in the forest lounge, sway gently in a hammock beneath the ancient beech trees, or enjoy the tranquillity of your tent’s outdoor space.
For those wishing to dive deeper, there are optional experiences to enrich your stay:
-
Scenic hikes to mountain viewpoints and nearby traditional villages, both solo and guided

Day trips to the Adriatic coast or neighbouring cultural and historical towns/cities
