Wild Roots Blossom - CLOUD YOGA RETREAT

A place of relaxation and inspiration awaits you—a space that invites you to be fully in the moment, both with yourself and with others. The centerpiece is a spacious 250 m² wellness area featuring underfloor heating and a fully equipped yoga studio, alongside chill-out zones, an open-plan kitchen, and a dining area with a fireplace. The former stable building is surrounded by idyllic outdoor grounds complete with a pool, sauna, hot tub, yoga terrace, a vintage-car garage with BBQ facilities, and much more.

The architectural concept behind I-am-Escape draws inspiration from the aesthetics of surrounding farmsteads. At first glance, the property resembles an idyllically situated Carinthian farmhouse; it is only upon closer inspection that one discovers the reinterpretation of traditional forms and the integration of modern technical amenities. Similarly, the former stable building initially appears to be a traditional barn with a classic larch-wood façade. The transformation becomes apparent only upon entering the open-plan 250 m² space. For instance, the central section of the ceiling was removed to open up the area to the upper floor and replaced with a 5-meter-high glass frontage that can be fully opened to the garden, bathing the former stable in bright, natural light. A spacious terrace with a fire pit invites guests to relax and unwind. While preserving the building's original structure, the ground-floor loft serves as a contemporary addition that blends old and new materials, combining industrial charm with modern comfort. At the heart of I-am-Escape lies this 250 m² wellness space, fully equipped with underfloor heating and state-of-the-art technology. Designed for versatility, the space adapts effortlessly to a wide range of needs: it features mobile workspaces with tables and boasts a long dining table in the central nave—crowned by a chandelier—that invites guests to dine, work, or play together. A suspended Gyrofocus fireplace allows you to relax by the open fire in the evening, while the fully equipped open-plan kitchen with state-of-the-art appliances is located opposite.

The various zones within the main room are designed to remain interconnected, fostering a sense of community. There is always a perfect spot for in-depth conversations, a cozy group game night, or a brainstorming session.

Bedrooms
Six double bedrooms, accessible via spiral staircases, are located on the upper floor. Each unit is individually oriented so that a large picture window frames a unique view of the surrounding nature. A bed positioned directly by the window invites guests to gaze out and find tranquility amidst the unspoiled landscape. The units on the top level boast expansive views across the entire valley, stretching as far as the Italian-Slovenian border. The three units on the middle level overlook a wild, enchanting stretch of forest featuring a pond. Ranging from 10 to 16 m², the five forest- and panorama-view rooms each feature a modern private bathroom with a toilet and shower. The rooms are designed with a deliberate minimalism, yet with meticulous attention to detail and accents of designer furniture. An additional loft-style bedroom is situated in the upper-floor gallery area, offering an open view of the living space and the spacious terrace.

MINDful meals

Karma kitchen

In addition to yoga, guests can enjoy peaceful forest walks, quiet moments by the outdoor pool, or deep relaxation in the mirror sauna.

Sustainability is at the heart of our retreat: meals are nourishing, seasonal, and made from locally sourced ingredients, with pure spring water straight from the farm.

A local herbalist will lead a forest harvest experience, gathering herbs and fresh delicacies with the group. This connection to the land adds depth to every shared meal and fosters mindful presence in the here and now.

Everything is designed to leave you feeling nourished and enriched, on all levels.

Vinyasa Yoga is suitable for both beginners and experienced practitioners. However, if you have no prior yoga experience, the dynamic and physically demanding sequences may feel overwhelming. In that case, we recommend starting with a beginner's course first. Ideally, you should already be familiar with Sun Salutations and some fundamental asanas before joining a Vinyasa Flow practice.

Guided by the natural rhythm of the breath, Vinyasa Flow links each posture into a seamless and harmonious sequence, creating a moving meditation that cultivates strength, flexibility, balance, and presence.
