About this Retreat
Your Guides
I've been teaching Yoga for 10 years and leading retreats for the past 6. Before fully stepping into this path, I worked as a television producer— an experience that honed my skills in curating seamless, intentional experiences. Today, I bring that same storytelling instinct into the heart of every retreat I lead, weaving together movement, mindfulness, and meaningful connection.
What sets my retreats apart is the balance I intentionally create: they are as much about rest, exploration, and travel as they are about deepening your Yoga practice. Each retreat is anchored by a thoughtfully chosen theme—one that invites personal growth, reflection, and a deeper connection to self. These themes guide our time together, from the mat to mealtime to evening games to moments of stillness.
Born and raised in Toronto, I continue to teach Yoga, Pilates, and other mindful movement modalities with a focus on linking breath, body, and mind. My classes blend creative sequencing, curated playlists, and playful energy with hands-on support, modifications, and space to honor your individual journey.
To me, Yoga is a way to calm the mind, regulate the nervous system, and return to the present moment. My hope is that what we practice on retreat becomes something you carry home: a sense of clarity, strength, and connection that supports you in your everyday life.
Details of this retreat
Join Toronto-based yoga teacher and retreat leader Madison Fruitman for a 6-night Embodied Escape Yoga Retreat in the breathtaking coastal village of Buljarica, Montenegro — a hidden gem on the Adriatic Sea.
Two weeks to choose from: May 25-31 & June 1-7, 2026
Nestled between the mountains and turquoise waters, this retreat is an invitation to slow down, reconnect, and remember what it feels like to truly be present in your body. Hosted at Mahakala Eco Retreat, a wellness sanctuary owned by mother-daughter duo. Their beautiful center overlooks the sea and mountains.

You’ll be guided to release tension, regulate the nervous system, and rediscover your natural rhythm through intentional, embodied living.
Between practices, you’ll enjoy plant-based meals, time to relax on the beach, spa treatments on-site, explore local hikes, or simply rest in the peaceful stillness of Montenegro’s coastline.
Whether you’re craving soulful connection, inner clarity, or a reset from the busyness of life, this retreat offers space to soften, reflect, and expand — all while surrounded by stunning natural beauty and like-hearted community.
