Deep Rest & Renewal
WINTER RETREAT
Weissensee, Austria
Feb 7-11, 2028
Join the Happy Jack Yoga community for a deeply restorative winter retreat on the shores of the Weissensee, surrounded by the breathtaking beauty of the Austrian Alps.
Settle into four nights of yoga therapy, nourishing practices, meaningful connection, and spacious time to simply rest and be.
Between practices, immerse yourself in the magic of winter — skate across the frozen lake, warm up in the sauna, experience an invigorating ice swim, explore mountains, or simply slow down and take in the stillness.
All from the comfort of the beautiful four-star superior Strandhotel am Weissensee, where award-winning organic vegetarian cuisine, lakeside spa facilities, and warm Austrian hospitality make restoration feel effortless.
A winter retreat designed around the art of slowing down.
Step away from the pace of everyday life and give yourself the rare gift of space — space to breathe, move, rest, reflect, and reconnect with yourself.
Through yoga therapy, restorative practices, time in nature, nourishing food, and meaningful community, we’ll create the conditions for your nervous system to soften and your whole being to recharge.
This isn’t a retreat about doing more. It’s an invitation to slow down, listen inward, and return home feeling deeply rested, restored, and renewed.
