reconnect with your essence ✺ yoga & nature retreat
this retreat is about remembering:
the intelligence of your body.
the gifts of nature.
the nourishment of simple, intentional living.
join us for some nourishing days in the austrian mountains: we come back into connection — with our bodies, our breath, our inner nature, and the living world around us. through yoga, movement, nature rituals, conscious cooking and shared moments, we remember that we are not separate from nature — we are nature.
this retreat is about softening the mind and opening the heart. about learning to listen again — to the wisdom of the body, the rhythm of the seasons, and the quiet voice within. it’s a space to receive the gifts of nature, deepen your relationship with food and nourishment, and reconnect with your own essence.
held in a small, intimate group, we create a safe and grounded space for presence, embodiment and authentic connection — without pressure, without expectations. everything is an invitation. everything is held with care.
the five elements as our guide
earth – grounding through nourishing, plant-based food, herbal wisdom, and connection to the land
water – fluid yoga, breath, softness, and emotional release
fire – transformation through ritual, cacao ceremony, sound, and inner clarity
air – conscious breathing, mountain walks, and fresh alpine air
ether (space) – silence, rest, integration, and time just for you
each day we consciously weave these elements into our practices, meals, rituals, and shared moments.

“Carla took so much care and love for details into putting this retreat together. the yoga practices were very well rounded, always accompanied by great music and lovely scents. I felt like yogis from all levels could enjoy the pratice and felt well guided. whilst there was a lot of room for self reflection it was so lovely that things were never too serious for a smile or a little laugh. thank you so much.”
