The retreat runs 25 September to 1 October, based at a family-run boutique hotel in the Logar Valley. Yoga happens twice a day. Sessions draw on flow yoga, yin and restorative work, pranayama, chanting, meditation, guided relaxation and yoga nidra, with occasional sound baths or cacao ceremonies. Mats, pillows, blocks and straps are provided, so you don't need to pack your own.

Kacy Harnedy leads the week. Her teaching is rooted in pranayama and meditation, and she works with practitioners of all levels, with an emphasis on personal empowerment and on making room for emotional processing rather than pushing through it. She also brings plant medicine into her work, and describes her approach as grounded in Ahimsa.

What separates this from a generic yoga week is the setting and the extras. The hotel sits in the Logar Valley, surrounded by Alpine scenery, with hikes accessible directly from the property. On site there is a wellness spa with warm pools, a sauna and massage. Off site, the team coordinates trips to Lake Bled and Predjama Castle, and there is a torchlit evening walk with stories and a wine tasting built into the programme.

Food is included three times a day, with a focus on organic plant-based meals alongside waters, teas and local coffees, and diets are catered to. Tea, tap water and coffee are available at any time. One dinner is taken off site and is not included in the price.

The hotel itself blends family warmth with Alpine elegance — generations of the same family have run it, and the building takes its cues from the landscape and local history. Rooms have natural linen bedding, bathrooms with walk-in showers, and Plesnik bath amenities made from Alpine herbs. Some rooms have a private balcony with valley or forest views.

Getting there is straightforward: Ljubljana Jože Pučnik Airport (LJU) is the closest major airport, about 32 km from the centre of Ljubljana. The lodge address is sent in the documents shared after booking. Flights and transport to and from the lodge are not included.
