I’m writing you about a great idea and opportunity that I thought of for Acroyoga – rafting – cultural camping weekend with my exceptionally good friends from our best Bulgarian rafting team – Respect.
The dates are 20th, 21st and 22nd June, and are not coincidental, because that is when the annual Francofolies concert in Blagoevgrad happens, inviting famous foreign musicians, and this year the artists are great. The best thing is that it is free and the venue is on a big lawn under the stars 🙂
Close to Blagoevgrad is Kresna and the beautiful river Struma, where is concentrated most of the rafting in Bulgaria. So, Respect invited me with huge enthusiasm to have an Acroyoga workshop with them and if we want to have some fun and a good time with them in the river. For the rafting – the equipment is provided, there is a safety lecture provided, the boats are for 8 people + 1 guide in each, and a river session is 3 hours long, and also the team always prepares surprises for the bravest 😉 plus everything is being recorded with a Gopro camera.
For the classes and the workshops: we plan to have
– 2 Acroyoga workshops: a beiinners’ one and an intermediates’ one
– morning yoga classes
– therapeutic flying classes and Thai massage.
– more cool things such as a musical impro night and more
Concerning comfort and accommodation: Sleeping will be on tents on the secluded hill with a huge meadow, right next to the camp and the river. There is also the possibility of sleeping in guest houses or hotels in Kresna or Blagoevgrad, in which case the organizers don’t take the responsibility for that.
The transport to the camp and back will be either by own transport, by taxi or by hitchhiking. The price for a taxi is around 20lv in a direction. Hitchhiking is the main way of transport for the river people and it is very fast and convenient as the camp falls on the international road E74, leading to Greece.
As for food – it is higly advisable to bring your own food with you as the nearest shop and restaurant are a few kilometers away or 30 minutes by foot. Take thick clothes and blankets for the evening, as well as your own yoga mats, towels and hygiene products. Another very important detail: the shower is only one and is uncovered, as well as the sink.
You can also bring all kinds of entertaining stuff with you. We will have a slackline 🙂
The exact program is to be announced
Prices:
Yoga Classes – 5lv
Workshops: 10lv
Rafting: 40lv per person
If you are from the people who just like to relax in the nature and don’t like moving so much, we will still be glad for you to be with us 😉
Please write in the comments or in private message if you’re taking part in the rafting and if you’re travelling with own transport and are willing to take people with you
