About the Dharmaral
Dharmaral Adventure is a community created by a passion for yoga, travel, and new experiences. The idea was born after a Monday evening yoga class when we discussed what being on the road means to us – whether it's exploring a distant country, riding a wave, or embarking on a deeper journey of self-discovery.
The name choice came about naturally. For us, dharma represents movement, learning, and experiencing shared moments.
Maral means wind blowing from the ocean, which is ideal for surfing.
The wind, change, the law of constant motion — nothing could describe us better than this.
Dharmaral represents exactly this: it is constantly shaped by those who join us and by the experiences we share together.

Zotya
Camp Leader
Zotya is our team's primary tour guide.
Dharmaral plays an important role in his life, as he is not only present during the camps but also plays a significant part in their organization.
He has been skiing and snowboarding since childhood. Water has always been a part of his life, as he played water polo and swam at a professional level. Surfing came to him instinctively; after his second surfing lesson, he switched to a hardboard and, of course, surfs shortboards. He passionately loves nature and spends most of his free time there. Instead of big cities, he prefers mountains, oceans, seas, and jungles. And instead of hotels, he is sure to pitch his tent in the most extreme places.
Having grown up in a large family, the sense of community is deeply rooted in him.
".. I feel very lucky, as I've been able to explore several continents at such a young age. I don't have a single favorite place; I adore the mountains of the Tatras, the waves of Bali, the architecture of China, the gastronomy of Italy, and the tranquility of Scotland.
Rafi
Camp Leader
Rafi a csapatunk alap tagja.
A világjárás, a természet és az aktív kalandok szeretete hosszú évek óta meghatározza az életemet. Éltem Olaszországban, ahol tökéletesen elsajátítottam az olasz nyelvet, Vietnámban Erasmus-hallgatóként tanultam, Portugáliában pedig kezdő szörfórákat tartottam. Túravezetőként dolgoztam Vietnámban és az Egyesült Államokban, többek között a Cape Cod Nemzeti Parkban, miközben olyan különleges vidékeket is felfedeztem, mint az Amazonas, a Hawaii-szigetek és a Galápagos-szigetek. Túravezetőként és szörfoktatóként a tapasztalataimat nyitottsággal, közvetlenséggel és valódi emberi figyelemmel szeretném átadni. Öt éve gyakorlom a zen meditációt, így a kaland, a sport és a természet mellett a tudatos jelenlét és a belső fejlődés is fontos része az életemnek.
Reni
Yoga Instructor - Camp Leader
Reni is the founder of Dharmaral – she not only dreamed it up but is involved in every detail, from organizing the camps to leading the practices.
She continuously learns, deepens her own path, and shares this experience with others.
For her, yoga is not just a practice, but a way of life that she follows daily. She has always been drawn to special places: mountains, jungles, oceans instead of big cities.
During her time in Bali, Japan, and Korea, she not only traveled but also learned – Buddhism and Eastern philosophies became part of her life.
In yoga and teaching, her goal is not to give ready-made answers, but to find them together. She loves long conversations, deep insights, and, of course, lots of laughter.
