7 Nights Yoga Holiday in Slovenia

Enjoy a week's yoga holiday in Slovenia. You will be staying in a large farmhouse with spectacular views of woodlands, mountains and meadows. Your yoga holiday includes a guided hike, a day trip to Ljubljana, a half-day at a local swimming lake where you can SUP, sail or row and of course yoga twice a day! Our Slovenia yoga holiday is the perfect balance of active and relaxed.

Join us on our seven-night yoga holiday in acres of woodlands, meadows and organic farmland in the heart of Slovenia. You will be staying in the north east of Slovenia 600m above sea level, just an hour away from the beautiful capital city of Ljubljana. Our yoga holiday in Slovenia allows you to be as active or relaxed as you like. We offer a range of activities included in the price, but if you need a week of relaxation, this is your holiday, so do what you need to feel revitalised by the end of the week’s stay. We enjoy our Slovenia yoga holidays in the shoulder season of May and September. We believe this is the best time to visit Slovenia, as the weather is warm enough to sunbathe or dip in the pool, but cool enough to enjoy a more active break.

There is a lot to do on this Slovenia yoga retreat, such as a local guided hike, a half-day trip to the local swimming lake where there are optional extra activities such as SUP, sailing or rowing. We also include a day trip to Ljubljana, a vibrant, green city known for its lively outdoor cafes, riverside markets, and a strong commitment to sustainability. At the venue there is a natural swimming pool surrounded by the meadow where you can cool down after a hike. Next to the pool is a hand-built sauna and you can use this once during your stay for free, to use more than once there is an additional charge. There are 23 hectares of private land and you are free to wander carefree and find a peaceful reading spot surrounded by mountains, forests and fields. The venue even has its own cafe where they serve teas, coffee, cakes and local artisan food products. Want to fully relax? There is a dedicated space for healing or massage treatments, which you can book directly with the venue. There is something to do for everyone on our Slovenia yoga holiday, and we create a good balance of activity and relaxation.

You can enjoy yoga twice a day which will either be in the large yoga studio which has expansive views of the mountains beyond, or if it’s warm enough you can practise yoga on the outdoor deck next to the natural pool. In the evenings, cosy up around the fire-pit with herbal tea, before a peaceful night’s sleep. Our accommodation is split between single occupancy en-suite or shared bathroom rooms or twin occupancy en-suite or shared bathroom rooms where you will be sharing with another yogi.

Our yoga holiday in Slovenia will be a week of eating fresh meals, hiking through stunning landscapes, exploring the culture of Ljubljana and finding peace in nature.

Accommodation in Slovenia

Your accommodation in Slovenia is within 23 of organic land, part of which is set aside for the cultivation of fruit and vegetables using the principals of permaculture and biodynamics. The venue has a strong focus on being eco-friendly and not disturbing the natural land. Within the meals on our yoga holiday there will be fruit and vegetables grown from the land and all waste is used for compost.

The accommodation is divided into single occupancy rooms with en-suite or shared bathrooms and twin occupancy rooms with en-suite or shared bathrooms. The rooms are beautiful, with handmade oak beds and exposed timber beams creating a sense of calm and cosiness whilst reminding you of the nature that surrounds you. There is a large dining area with stunning views, a large yoga studio, outdoor yoga deck, an outdoor natural pool and a sauna. You are free to wander the endless land, with views of mountains, fields and forests.

We include transfers from Ljubljana Airport at the times listed below. If you choose to fly outside these times or to a different airport, the transfer will not be included. Our current transfer times are recommended from the London Gatwick to Ljubljana flights. The flight time from London Gatwick is around 2 hours and 15 minutes.

Flights

Arrive at Ljubljana airport no later than 11:00am, so you have time to clear customs and baggage reclaim. The shared transfer will depart at 12:00 noon.

Depart from Ljubljana airport after 10:30am. Our shared transfer will leave the venue at 7am to arrive back at the airport at 8:30am. This will give you enough time for travel and check-in.

Transfers: The transfer to the venue is included in the price if you either catch the recommended flights or book flights with similar arrival and departure times so you can meet at the airport for the group transfer.

The transfer takes around 1 hr 15 minutes. If you can’t make the group free transfer we can help arrange a private transfer at an extra cost.

Sustainability

We are working towards reducing our carbon footprint, and here are some ways we, as a company, are doing this. 

  • We are an 88% vegan company, 10% vegetarian and 2% fish or meat (only when staying in boutique hotels that offer these options). This makes up a huge percentage of carbon emissions that we easily avoid because our food is still delicious, balanced and creative. So, thanks to you all for enjoying our healthy (mostly) plant-based meals. 

The difference: Most travel companies find it hard to encourage their travellers to reduce their meat and dairy consumption, which accounts for a large portion of their carbon emissions.

  • We stay primarily in one location for the duration of the retreat. We have started staying in a few locations on our long haul, but it is limited to 2 or 3 locations over an 8 – 10 night period. Staying in one place means low carbon emissions because we aren’t burning fuel to get around.

The difference: Other adventure travel companies move around every two days, using alot of petrol in vehicles for sometimes only 1 or 2 people. 

  • Our activities are low-impact—yoga, hiking, surfing, skiing/boarding, whitewater rafting, SUP, and kayaking are all very low-carbon activities, in fact, zero-carbon (except skiing/snowboarding due to the ski lifts, which is also low). These activities are included in the price we measure. The carbon may increase with travel to and from these activities in vehicles. 

The difference: Other travel companies can include high-carbon activities in the price, such as jet skiing, quad biking, and jeep driving, which increases their carbon footprint.

  • We run more than half of our retreats and holidays in the UK; these are very low-carbon holidays. 

We currently don’t measure our guests’ travel as part of our carbon output because our guests don’t only come from the UK, so it is hard for us to predict this. We also don’t include travel in the holiday price, which is not part of our calculations. We know that we provide these holidays, so we are looking to include this carbon measurement in the future so we are investigating how we can reduce this.

The carbon measurements at the top of the page with the icons are per person for the whole retreat. 

Ultra-low-carbon holidays

These holidays are below 200 kg per person, and our UK retreats are below 100 or even 70 kg, so these are great adventures for low carbon breaks.

Ski holidays are actually low in carbon! 

In France, many ski resorts are turning to green energy to power the lifts. If you eat low in meat and dairy while you’re there and hire your ski equipment, this makes your trip as low-carbon as possible. 

How can you help? 

There are ways that you can help reduce your carbon when coming on our retreats and holidays:

  • Travel by train, try slow travel across Europe and the UK. 
  • If travelling abroad to Europe or further afield, choose carbon capture schemes, check out Ecologi. Offsetting is not the best thing to do these days, but try carbon capture where you pay for carbon to be absorbed into the environment.
  • Car share UK – we recommend when guests travel by train to arrive and depart at the same time to taxi share – which helps keep costs and carbon emissions down. Why not consider car share, too? Most guests who drive come alone or with a friend; we have WhatsApp groups that, if you like, you can see who is driving from your area and enjoy getting to know each other on the way to the retreats, and save on your carbon emissions at the same time!

We are by no means saints when it comes to producing carbon, as a travel company we know this is very difficult to reduce. We are working to reduce our carbon output each year by measuring it and then creating plans to reduce it. We are reviewing all our venues and asking them how they can improve their carbon reduction as we don’t own any of our venues but we would like to work with them to help in any way we can.  We want to be transparent with this, so please get in touch for more information. As we change things, we will update the website.
