Do you need a break from the hustle and bustle of daily life, to reset and recharge?

It will create a platform on which you will be able to build on when you return home so that you can continue implementing positive changes and a healthy lifestyle in your daily routine.
We will accommodate only a small number of participants during this retreat, so that we are able to serve you in the best possible way with love, care and the personal attention that YOU deserve.

KIND WORDS
“I joined this year’s retreat in Most na Soči, in Slovenia. There aren’t sufficient adjectives to describe how wonderful this retreat was; firstly, Slovenia has to be one of the most beautiful places I’ve every been to. This was truly much more than a yoga retreat; Mojca has curated such an exquisite experience through the selection of the incomparable location, having Dejan as our private chef, and the excursions which were never ‘just’ about the hike or the destination – rather, they provided an immersion in nature, in the awe-inspiring, sparkling landscape of Slovenia, its history, its ethos and ethics, and its remarkable environmental credentials. The yoga teachings by Mojca provided a balance between physically challenging and restorative and helped to inspire and motivate me to reconnect with my personal practice. She shares her deep yogic knowledge and philosophy in a way that’s accessible to all and with a generosity of spirit that builds deep connections with her students. Both Mojca and Vivian held space throughout the retreat for all of us participants, making us feel at home, comfortable and connected. This made for a really cohesive warm group of participants that really connected with each other and created a harmonious and fulfilling experience. The macrobiotic and Ayurvedic food so lovingly and carefully prepared by Dejan, assisted by Daniela, was outstanding – nourishing, delicious, satiating and a beautiful feast for the eyes too. A cooking session under Dejan’s watchful eye was a highlight of the trip; not only because of the opportunity to prepare his recipes and eat them, but also for the remarkable harmony and connection we all felt whilst working together in the kitchen. It was inspiring to learn from him and soak in the knowledge he so generously shared about healthful eating. All in all, a wonderful retreat that provided exactly the re-set I needed. I very much hope to do another Joy of the Mediterranean retreat in the near future!”

KIND WORDS
“Being in The Julian Alps on a yoga retreat with Vivian and Mojca was a refreshing experience of being emersed in beautiful nature. The scenery, the excursions, the food, the accommodation were all wonderful. Daily we were skilfully guided in our Yoga Practice in an atmospheric wooden cabin, perched on the hillside and overlooking the most majestic valley of trees, rich green meadows and high mountains. Each day brought a new venture, walking in captivating gorges with blue rivers and waterfalls, wild swimming, cable car trip, mountain train trips and always exceptional meals. I would not hesitate to recommend the Yoga Retreat to Slovenia as a must do activity.”

KIND WORDS
“This retreat was very special in a wonderful place, a place close to enchanted and healing nature at the foot of the Alps in Slovenia. There I could feel a deep connection with nature and also with myself. The tours were incredible, stunning places, the turquoise blue of the rivers and lakes in the region. We enjoyed organic meals worthy of Michelin stars, all made with great care and dedication from chef Djean, who to top it off gave us an exceptional cooking class with his most elaborate recipes.
It was truly an opportunity for great relaxation and internal reconnection, under the organization and care of Vivian with her knowledge and Ayurvedic massages and Modja who welcomed us so much and provided us with wonderful yoga classes. I will certainly return! Gratitude.”
