By far the most beautiful yoga vacation. In Austria.
Experience an inspiring, high-quality yoga retreat that realigns your body and mind. The authentic yoga program enhances your health awareness, gives you vitality, inner balance, and new energy for everyday life.
The YOGA meets YOU Retreats consist of progressive yoga sessions in a fixed group. You’ll practice, eat, and grow together—or, if you prefer, enjoy quiet moments all to yourself.
Through targeted adjustments (guidance from the yoga teacher), you’ll deepen your practice, gain a better understanding of asanas, and develop a more refined body awareness—always tailored to your individual needs.
In our fast-paced world, yoga acts as a haven of calm: it strengthens the immune system, promotes flexibility, and fosters mental clarity. Surrounded by fresh mountain air and soothing sunshine, you’ll find space to pause and recharge.
The retreats at the 4*S Aktivresort Valavier combine yoga, meditation, mantras, and themed activities into a harmonious overall experience—ideal for beginners and experienced practitioners, solo travelers, or couples. New encounters, inspiring conversations, and lasting relaxation await you.
Limited availability! Room allocations are available and guaranteed until 4 weeks before the start date. Bookings after that are available upon request…
You’ll stay at the award-winning 4*Superior Aktivresort Valavier, in a suite with ALL-INCLUSIVE service
10-participant quota available up to 4 weeks before the start; the yoga program will take place with a minimum of 3 participants. Limited enrollment!
Free public transportation within Vorarlberg!

Course Instructors
Not everyone needs the same kind of yoga. Bodies, life situations, experience, and needs vary.
That’s why we create a framework combining classical Hatha Yoga, meditation, pranayama, and relaxation, within which you can experience your practice according to your own individual needs. Personal guidance and small groups are particularly important to us.
Our decades of experience in yoga and personal guidance shape our work together.
Arrive. Take a deep breath. Move. Relax. Recharge.
Peter Weitgasser,
has been practicing classical yoga since 1998 and lived in an ashram for 16 years, eight of which he spent as a yoga monk under the name Swami Keshavananda.
He is a certified teacher and instructor of Hatha Yoga, Dhyana/meditation, and Pranayama, and has guided people for many years in yoga teacher training programs, seminars, and retreats.
His intensive yoga practice continues to shape his teaching to this day. In doing so, he combines the tradition of classical yoga with a personal and non-dogmatic approach to teaching.
Samira Sefzig,
is a certified Hatha yoga, breathwork, and meditation teacher and a Reiki therapist—qualifications she has internalized through her own daily practice. She is the mother of two sons.
In the first half of her life, Samira lived and worked worldwide in various leadership roles in the hotel and tourism industries. Samira has a very close connection to nature and its creatures. At the same time, she guides people into nature to help them rediscover the grounding they need.
Together, Peter and Samira advocate for a form of yoga that does not focus on performance or perfection, but rather on experience, personal guidance, and the opportunity to reconnect more deeply with oneself.

Additional program: Treatments to release emotional and energetic blockages.
During the retreat, we offer personalized energy healing sessions.
Using various techniques and knowledge from biological healing, geomancy, ancestral regression, pendulum work, spinal diagnostics, and much more, we explore the causes and blockages that may be preventing you from making positive progress. What lies hidden in the subconscious can thus be released and begin to heal, allowing the individual to step into their full power. A session lasts approximately 90 minutes.
Reiki sessions (60 minutes each) are also available. Reiki targets precisely where the greatest disharmony exists in the body, thereby helping to activate your own self-healing powers. Ailments of any kind—such as back pain, emotional imbalance, etc.—can be alleviated, positively supporting your healing process.
