We, Steffi Grube & Dani Augenstein, have an experience of teaching yoga and meditation for over 15 years. Our "Holy travels" retreats stand out not only because of our choice of the most stunning and quiet retreat places - but also because of our experience as yoga teachers and holistic advisers. We love to get to know you - or if we already do: to connect with you again!
We founded a boutique yoga studio in Cologne, Germany, where you can practice Katonah Yoga & Iyengar Yoga. We do not teach levels - you are welcome in every class!!

Come with Steffi Grube und Dani Augenstein to stunning Croatia!&nbsp;
 
LATE BIRD: May 1st till May 8th - 100 Euros off. Tthe prices you see are already late bird prices. Prices will go up again on May 9th.
 
We are so excited to host you in Croatia's most beautiful Yoga retreat!
 
Our stunning home is a beautiful farm estate- located in the heart of the Istrian peninsula, northern Croatia, not too far from the Slovenian and Italian borders. This part of Croatia is known for its gentle and mysterious ancient energy, felt through the story and history of the picturesque local towns, delicious food, nourishing supporting lands, and crystal clear Adriatic sea.&nbsp;
As far back as ancient times, Romans recognized the magic of this area as an ideal site for their summer residences and villae rusticae with olive oil processing facilities, surrounded by natural beauties and mild climate.&nbsp;
 
A land rich in fruits of the earth, diligent people and geographically located at the intersection of many roads. Coastal Istria is the most developed part of the Croatian Adriatic in terms of tourism, offering high tourist standards and always ranked as the leading tourist destination.&nbsp;
 
However, inland Istria is the place for true bon-vivants. People seeking peace and tranquility, who want to wake up in a charming, peaceful place made just for them.&nbsp;
 
So close to the swarming summer crowds, yet so far away from it all, in the very heart of the primeval beauty of this small peninsula. Secluded and surrounded by greenery, the privacy and splendor of our retreat is an oasis waiting for you. The proximity of the sea and city crowds, yet tucked away on an idyllic country estate of peace and tranquility will make this retreat an unforgettable experience.
