About Miriam
What role does yoga play in your life?
Yoga is, for me, a lived practice - far beyond the mat. It’s a way of moving through the world: consciously, connected, and with an inner alignment that keeps bringing me back to myself. The physical practice is an entry point, but not the goal. It’s my way of grounding and opening again and again. Not to become someone else, but to come closer, layer by layer, to what is already there.
What do you hope to share with your students in your yoga classes?
I want to offer more than just movement. I want to create spaces that feel real - without performance, without pressure, but with depth. My classes are an invitation not to optimize the body, but to listen to it.
The practice can be challenging, but above all it should create awareness. Between strength and softness, something very authentic emerges. If my students leave the space with greater awareness - for themselves, their breath, and the way they move through life - then everything I wish to share is already there.
What would you describe as the core of your philosophy?
Clarity meets feeling. Discipline meets devotion. I believe in a practice that does not divide, but connects - body and mind, inner and outer, movement and stillness. It’s not about perfection, but about presence.
And perhaps above all, it’s about learning to feel again. Because that is where true connection begins - with ourselves and with the world we live in. My philosophy brings together a clear, strong practice with an inner attitude of compassion, mindfulness, and devotion.

Our next Retreats
Take a conscious break from everyday life and discover what it feels like when movement, rest, and clarity return to balance. This retreat invites you to step back and reconnect with yourself.
Intentional Living means not only organizing life, but consciously shaping it - feeling what your body needs, using your energy mindfully, and creating space for rest, clarity, and new perspectives.
Look forward to a balanced combination of powerful and regenerative movement sessions, mindful bodywork, breathing practices, meditation, and impulses from neuro-mental training and coaching. The practice combines yoga, functional movement, and fascia work with conscious breathing and mental reflection.
At the heart of the retreat is intention-based movement. Instead of focusing on performance or perfection, the aim is to consciously perceive the body, build strength, improve mobility, and release tension. At the same time, calming evening practices help regulate the nervous system and allow deep relaxation. Step by step, this creates a sense of stability, lightness, and clarity - both physically and mentally.

05. - 08. November 2026
Do you sometimes feel like you’re just functioning and no longer truly connected to yourself? Perhaps you’re successful, organized, and present for others, yet still sense an underlying exhaustion and inner restlessness. Often, our nervous system remains in a constant state of stress without us even noticing.
This retreat is a gentle invitation to step out of constant doing. You will learn how to consciously regulate your nervous system, with a focus on the vagus nerve as a key to regeneration, emotional stability, and a healthy response to stress.
We intentionally take time to pause, replenish your energy, and prepare for the winter season before the year grows louder, the holiday rush begins, and the calendar fills up even more. Together, we create a space where you can truly feel your body again, allow your nervous system to settle, and reconnect with a sense of safety, clarity, and inner balance.
In this retreat, you will learn practical methods to build mental and physical strength, inner calm, and resilience. Through a holistic yoga and coaching approach, Gabriela Bozic guides you back to balance, grounding, and inner strength. Between the shared sessions, there is dedicated time for integration, silence, and enjoyment. Each class offers subtle impulses from yoga philosophy and coaching to help you integrate the retreat experience into daily life, personal practice, or teaching - clear, contemporary, and directly accessible.
