Where You’ll Stay

The retreat is held at a peaceful retreat centre in the hills of northern Slovenia, close to the town of Velenje.

The property is surrounded by forests, meadows, organic farmland, and mountain views. Its thoughtfully restored buildings include a spacious yoga and meditation studio, communal living and dining areas, treatment spaces, and comfortable guest rooms.

Outside, you will find a natural swimming pond, hand-built sauna, yoga deck, fire pit, woodland paths, and plenty of space to sit or wander.

Yoga and Meditation

Each morning begins with guided meditation and Vinyasa yoga, either in the indoor yoga studio or outside on the deck beside the pool.

The programme also includes Yin yoga, Yoga Nidra, and an optional arm-balancing and inversions workshop. Classes offer options for different experience levels, allowing you to participate in a way that works for your body.

Yoga mats, bolsters, blocks, and other equipment are provided.

Food

Fresh, nourishing food is central to the retreat.

The kitchen uses organic, seasonal produce grown on the property or sourced from nearby farms and local producers. Guests will usually enjoy two generous vegetarian meals each day: brunch following the morning yoga session and a wholesome evening meal with seasonal salads and side dishes.

Vegan options are available, and many dietary requirements can be accommodated with advance notice. Complete the dietary information form after booking and disclose any allergies or restrictions.

Herbal teas, coffee, fresh fruit, and selected snacks will also be available throughout the day.

Retreat hosts may change depending on availability.
