Rooted In Oneness Yoga Retreat
A sacred space to remember who you are.
Join us, Vasiliki & Sandra, this December for a transformative yoga retreat in the serene setting of Poeltl, Austria. "Rooted in Oneness" invites you to explore the profound connection that exists beyond our perceived differences.
Over these sacred days, experience both Rocket Yoga and Jivamukti Yoga — two dynamic practices that, while different in expression, share the same ancient source of Ashtanga Yoga. Through alternating sessions led by Vasiliki and Sandra, discover how varied paths can lead to the same destination of self-awareness and unity.
We will deepen our experience through contemplating restorative practices and chanting, creating vibrations that connect us on a subtle, more profound level. Surrounded by Austria's winter landscape, we'll also explore our oneness with nature and all living beings.
This retreat offers a unique opportunity to recognize that beneath surface differences lies a shared foundation — one breath, one heart, one consciousness. Come journey with us to the root of existence, where we are all truly one.
with gratitude,
Vasiliki - Sandra
Please note: The entire retreat will be held in English.
SPACE HOLDERS
Vasiliki | E-RYT500 | Certified Rocket Yoga Teacher LV1
My teaching is inspired by a heartfelt desire to empower my students to navigate life’s challenges with strength and grace, both mentally and physically.
As a yoga teacher, my goal is to share the tools that yoga offers - gentle yet powerful practices that help them face obstacles with courage or release them with compassion. This philosophy is deeply rooted in my own transformative journey as a student, both on and off the mat.
Through my teaching, I hope to create a space where students feel supported, encouraged, and inspired to embrace their resilience and discover their inner growth.
Sandra | Certified Jivamukti Teacher | Co-Owner MYND YOGA Studio
I am a Jivamukti Yoga Teacher whose personal journey embodies the practice I share. For me, yoga transcends physical postures—it's a transformative path towards compassion. My holistic approach combines meditation, chanting, intention, and intensive asana sequences, creating a comprehensive practice that nurtures body, mind, and spirit.
Authenticity and compassion hold high value for me in both yoga and life. In my classes, I aim to create a relaxed, judgment-free atmosphere where students can truly be themselves, explore their potential, release what no longer serves them, and discover deeper connection to themselves and others.
With a personal practice rooted in Ashtanga and Jivamukti, my classes are strong and purposeful. I also teach Restore & Renew classes and I am currently pursuing my 500-hour Jivamukti Yoga Teacher Apprenticeship.

Enjoy a blend of solo time and group moments with a warm and supportive community. This retreat is crafted to give you a fulfilling, rejuvenating experience both on and off the mat.
THE VENUE
Enjoy peace and nature in the Pöllauer Valley Nature Park, surrounded by gentle hills and orchards in Styria. The Nature Park offers activities for nature lovers, hikers, cyclists, culture enthusiasts, and those who enjoy regional delicacies.
ROOTED IN ONENESS
We weave together the transformative fire of Rocket Yoga with the soul-stirring depth of Jivamukti – a powerful fusion of discipline and devotion, strength and surrender.
Each day invites you to move with intention, breathe with awareness, and connect deeply – to your body, your heart, and something greater.
Through dynamic flows, ancient teachings, chanting, stillness, and sweat, we create space to rise and root, to expand and let go.
This is more than a yoga retreat – it’s a homecoming.
