Restorative Yoga, Sound Baths & Kundalini Integration
As dusk settles, we wind down a day of activity with restorative yoga practices to recharge the senses and restore balance.
Yi, Nidra & Deep Stretch Yoga invites the nervous system to soften and release, long-held supported stretches melting physical tension; the sound bath—bowls, gongs, and subtle overtones—bathes the body in vibrational harmonics that recalibrate attention and soothe mental chatter; and kundalini and Qi Gong frequency techniques—ignite subtle energy while cultivating clarity and presence. Together these practices form a layered, intentional sequence that eases the body into parasympathetic rest, refines sensory awareness, and leaves the mind luminous yet grounded, ready for restful sleep and renewed vitality for the next day.
Experience daily, 2- hour sensory curated, early evening practices.

⟡ Yoga Nidra in Warm Waterbeds

Nordic Walk & STOCK Mountain Festival
After a rejuvenating morning Yoga session, lace up your hiking shoes, and step into the embrace of the Alps. Crisp air, steady steps, panoramas from jagged peaks to green valleys. Trails pass wildflower meadows, emerald lakes, and old chalets, each turn offering fresh scale and stillness. High‑altitude silence sharpens the senses: distant cowbells, wind through larch, the crunch of stone. Endurance meets serenity—each ascent brings luminous views and a quiet reset.
Along the way, we will pause for Breathwork, Walking Meditations and lots of photo ops posing in your favorite asana!
Arriving at the Private Mountain Festival, you are greeted by the aroma of savory delights wafting through the air. Artisanal tables brim with freshly prepared dishes, showcasing regional flavors and seasonal ingredients. We will enjoy live entertainment, music, and a hearty lunch, as the community gathers to share laughter, stories, and the joy of sharing this unique and magical Yoga Retreat.

Nordic Hike to Ahornspitze Summit (2,973m)
We explore (kāya), our Earth and Physical senses as we embark on a Nordic hike to experience the Tyrolean Mountains.
An exciting Ahornbahn Gondola will take us from the base of the valley to the mountain where we will be greeted by cows…lots of cows. Stay here and enjoy the relaxing panoramic views and local foods or join an active hike to the piste. With every step, the elevation brings you closer to the ethereal realm of the high Alps dominated by the majestic glacier-capped peaks and endless views of Italy, Switzerland and Austria.
The combination of terrain and serene landscapes makes this excursion not just a physically energizing endeavor, but a profound connection to the natural world.
The journey is an exploration of our inner sanctum beginning with mindfulness and our senses; where boundaries between self and nature dissolve, allowing one to experience the tranquil state of -Samadhi

Your Host, Clare
Clare Carroll
ERYT-500, YACEP, NBHWC, PhM
For more than three decades, I’ve dedicated myself to studying, researching, and practicing across the full spectrum of health and wellness. With a foundation in neuroscience and advanced yogic practice. I’m grateful to be recognized as a leader in holistic medicine, guiding transformative sessions, retreats, and workshops.
I hold an RYT-500, National Board Certification in Health & Wellness Coaching, and advanced training in Yoga Therapy for Chronic Pain, Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), Trauma-Informed Yoga, Yoga Anatomy & Alignment, Neurosomatics, and more. I bring this wealth of expertise to every session, using intelligent sequencing, philosophical themes, and inspiring playlists to create a nurturing space for lasting transformation.
As a facilitator, I strive to create inclusive, inspiring environments for both international and local groups. My approach is rooted in compassion, clarity, and a commitment to personal growth. I want everyone I work with to feel empowered to step confidently into their own transformative journeys. Bringing people together and fostering genuine connection and motivation is at the heart of every yoga class, coaching session, retreat, and workshop I lead.
Personally, I have a deep, enduring connection to Austria not only as the home of my husband and children, but as a haven for healing the mind and body. After enduring three failed hip replacement surgeries and being told I would never walk without crutches, the Austrian Alps became my sanctuary of renewal. The healing powers of this majestic region are undeniable: the mineral-rich spa waters soothe aching joints and restore vitality, while the pure glacier waters invigorate and cleanse every cell with their crystalline clarity. Breathing in the crisp mountain air during deep breathwork sessions feels like inhaling life itself—oxygen-rich and soul-cleansing, it awakens strength I thought was lost forever. In this alpine haven, nature’s therapy transcends medicine, proving that resilience can flourish where serenity and raw beauty converge. I am a true testament to the healing powers of the Tyrolean Alps.
Step into the majestic mountains with me, reconnect with nature, and discover the Healing Powers of YOGA and the TYROLEAN ALPS.

500h YT, B.Sc. Applied Health Science, Certified Life Coach, Mystic & Priestess of Light
I did not arrive on this path through ambition or strategy, but through listening. Through movement. Through deep inner remembering.
My journey has always been one of crossing worlds: Science and spirit, body and consciousness, structure and surrender. I am a 500-hour certified Hatha Yoga Teacher and hold a Bachelor of Science in Applied Health Sciences. My background in health science gave me a deep understanding of the human body, nervous system, and physiology.
Yoga entered my life not as a concept, but as a return. A return to the body as a sacred vessel. A return to breath, presence, and inner truth. Over the years, my practice evolved beyond the physical into a deeply embodied, somatic, and energetic path - weaving together yoga, meditation, nervous system regulation, subtle body work, and non-dual tantric consciousness.
I have walked this path across sacred lands and communities around the world. Through retreats, pilgrimages, and long periods of travel and devotion - Cape Town, Hawaii, New York, Europe, and ancient sites have shaped my work, not as destinations, but as teachers. Nature, land, and the body itself are central to how I guide and hold space.
Today, I work in service of the Goddess as a healer, holistic soul mentor, retreat facilitator, and trainer/ educator of the sacred ancient practices, devoted to creating spaces where people can soften out of survival, reconnect with their inner wisdom, and remember the intelligence of their own bodies.
Bringing my work to Austria feels deeply aligned. The mountains hold a frequency of stillness, grounding, and truth that mirrors the inner work we do together. This retreat is an invitation to slow down, to be held by the land, and to come home - not to a version of yourself you need to become, but to who you already are.

Mind, Body & Soul Connection
I loved meeting new friends and connecting on a mind, body, and soul level. I truly appreciated the time Clare took to connect with us on Zoom before the retreat, it made me feel prepared and deeply held even before arriving.
The Kundalini Activation & Embodiment with Leonie was intense and profoundly deep. It allowed a lot of emotions to move through me and cracked me wide open in the most liberating way. I felt so grateful for that release.
