Join us for a nourishing week of immersing yourself in the stunning mountains of Slovenia with a deep daily practice of yoga and meditation.
This is your week to re-connect and re-charge. All sessions are optional, so you can take exactly what you need. There will be plenty of free time for reading, wandering through the trees, swimming, sauna, reading, sun-bathing, forest-bathing, napping…
A retreat from your usual schedule is a powerful way to come back to centre and establish or deepen your practice, taking all the benefits home with you.
Our daily schedule will offer morning practice at the peaceful, 'sattvic' time of day, journaling inspiration and philosophy teachings with personal time to reflect. Our yoga programme will offer energising vinyasa, mindful slow flow and meditation to quieten the mind and rest deeply.
We'll stay close to the authentic meaning of Yoga and Vedānta philosophy, with periods of traditional 'mauna' practice (community silence) and mindful meditation, giving you the space to re-connect with your purpose and come home to your true nature of ‘pūrṇa’ (fullness).
Our morning sessions will be scheduled at a time that gives you enough deep sleep. Plus, I’ll guide an (optional!) supported digital detox so you can truly enjoy a sanctuary away from busy, switched-on daily life.
Our home for the week has 23 hectares of its own land to explore, surrounded by forests and meadows, as Ana from the retreat centre says, "as far as the eye can see and the feet can carry".
You're welcome just as you are, whether you want to connect socially or feel like re-charging with quiet time, or a mixture of the two.
Imagine mountain views for miles, acres of woodland to explore right on our doorstep, and a refreshing natural pool to jump into after the sauna.
Our food all week will be alive with energy and nourishment, picked freshly from the land's own permaculture gardens and put together with love according to Ayurveda principles. You’ll enjoy a healthy, varied, organic brunch and dinner with tea and snacks throughout the day.

The taxi on our start day leaves Ljubljana (city / airport) at approx. 12:00 and leaves Veduna on the last day at. approx. 12:30 - either to the airport or city centre as required. Exact times to be confirmed.
If you make your own way to Veduna we ask that you please arrive between 13:30 - 14:30 on the retreat start day and depart at 12:30 with the rest of us on the last day. Thank you.
“I want to say thank you so much for the retreat. It was an amazing and very necessary experience. It’s both new & refreshing for me to be in a space where there is a community of people trying to find greater connection in their lives. I feel so much lighter and more connected.
I admire the work you do & appreciate your approach to the teaching. It is very approachable & relatable. I feel like the retreat had a nice balance between quieting down, opening up & connecting with others.
I also really like how you encourage having a chat & a laugh. I think spirituality can have this cold / negative connotation to it - but your classes always feel very human, which is lovely.
