Suitable for women aged over 40, 50 and beyond with sound general health, who know they are ready to improve, strengthen or enhance their health and wellbeing.

About Velingrad...

"Velingrads's life-giving water attracts many visitors. Over the last 60 years, a small resort town in the Western Rhodopes - Velingrad, has established itself as one of Bulgaria's most popular tourist destinations"


In 2005 the Bulgarian Association of Hoteliers and Restaurateurs awarded the title "Spa Capital of Bulgaria" to the resort of Velingrad. Three years later, at a conference of the World Trade Organization of hoteliers and restaurateurs in Mexico, the city was also named the "Spa Capital of the Balkans". Anyone who chooses this paradise from the Rhodope Mountains will make sure it is not just a tourist advertisement. 

There is no one who does not want to come back again after feeling the warm embrace of healing mineral water in the local pools and feeling the fresh scent of nearby pine forests.


Velingrad's biggest treasure is 80 mineral springs. Their temperature is in a very wide range - from 27 to 95 degrees Celsius. 


The Velingrad Geothermal Site is one of the largest in southern Bulgaria. The tradition of using the healing power of mineral water has been around for centuries when mineral baths were created in the area. Evidence that they have existed since Roman times are the Roman openings and canals.

Here the sunny days are 20% more than in other parts of Bulgaria. Velingrad is a small and peaceful city, but in the vicinity of the largest regional centers, only 133 km. from Sofia and 82 km. from Plovdiv.


The nature of Velingrad is extremely rich and diverse. There are 15 nature parks near the city, some of which are protected by UNESCO, as well as the Batak, Belmekeni and Dospat dams. 

Every year, many people visit these water sources because the conditions there are extremely suitable for hunting, fishing or just for relaxation.


The resort is suitable for holidays during all seasons of the year. 

Summer is attractive because of the outdoor swimming pools under the sun. Winter brings joy from the view of the whiteness of the snow-covered Rhodope peaks and pine forests. Even a weekend here is enough for a refreshing break. 


The spa and wellness tourism that develops in Velingrad is in harmony with nature. (Info: Hotel Maxi-park Velingrad)

Jocelyne took her first yoga class as a teenager and throughout her life has found that when tangled up physically, emotionally or spiritually that it has been her yoga practice that has straightened her out. Yoga is about being bendy – not just physically, but being mentally and emotionally bendy so that you are able to bend rather than break as you negotiate the waterfalls and rapids of your life. Having taught over 3000 hours of yoga in classes and workshops, she is classified as an experienced yoga teacher with Yoga alliance
