_ THE RETREAT
2026 · Split → Dubrovnik
Seven days under sail, seven mornings of practice. A genuine sailing holiday anchored in yoga, breath, and the Croatian coast.
The retreat is run by Yoga Sailing Holidays, an established Mediterranean operator with a full sailing fleet, a curated yoga curriculum, and a multi-year track record. Jeyda has been invited as guest breathwork instructor bringing science-informed breath practice as the third leg of the daily rhythm.
No prior sailing experience required. No yoga experience required. The boat does much of the teaching; so does the coast.
A small-group sailing journey aboard a luxury Oceanis 48 monohull. Sunrise yoga on the foredeck, guided breathwork led by Jeyda, sailing through the Dalmatian islands by day, and slow evenings ashore - Hvar, Vis, Korčula, Mljet, and Dubrovnik.
Day by day.

— What Toronto Breathwork brings
The week's daily rhythm includes morning movement, meditation and breathwork on deck and the natural movement of a sailing day.
The breath practices are accessible to first-timers, useful to experienced practitioners, and tuned to the Adriatic itself: open water, long horizons, the kind of stillness that arrives by hour three of a long sail.
Jeyda has spent decades years on the water - sailing instructor since 2008, Olympic Match Race team training in 2010, certified breathwork coach with YOGABODY® since 2020.
"Jeyda is an amazing energy orchestrator."
