Welcome to the
Elligned yoga & nature retreat
29 August - 2 September 2026
ELLIGNED x Croatia
If you love to move, love to be in nature and are excited to dive deep into your yoga practice, this is for you.
What you get
Daily Vinyasa yoga classes that build up heat, rinse you through and make you feel strong and powerful
Big workshop on inversions & arm balances (Think headstands, chinstand, forearmstand, handstands and many more)
Experience some of the most incredible nature sights in Croatia, chase waterfalls and swim in rivers
Big workshop on the foundation of a strong and sustainable yoga practice (laying the groundwork for bigger and more advanced asana)
One more big workshop, the topic of this workshop is decided by interest of our group :) (For example, fun transitions, backbends, philosophy etc.)
No matter your level, I will ensure you are given the tools you need to feel safe, and find improvement and joy in your practice.
Daily wind down practices like yin yoga, breathwork and yoga nidra to feel truly relaxed before you head to bed.
Amazing food! Nourishing and colourful meals prepared by talented chefs.
Accomodation for 4 nights, in a dormitory, twin room or double room
Shuttle from and to Zagreb airport
Guided nature excursion to Plitvice lakes and waterfalls
River hopping excursion
Imagine…
Starting your morning with a 90 minute Vinyasa flow. Waking up to build strength and awareness in your body.
Having delicious, nourishing meals prepared by our talented chefs
Exploring Plitvice lakes and its incredible waterfalls on an afternoon excursion
Workshops on inversions, backbends and all things asana. This is your playground to try asana and transitions you haven’t yet had the chance to try in class
and in between sessions, soothe your muscles in the hot tub...
…Or in the sauna
And at night, wind down with a gentle evening practice & a warm cup of tea by the bonfire.
After tea, fall asleep in a cosy warm bed. Resting well before awakening to another beautiful day in the morning
And after five days immersed in practice and nature, leave feeling stronger, grounded, and more connected.
Is this retreat right for me?
If love yoga and are curious about deepening your practice, or maybe you have just discovered yoga and want to see what it is all about. You already have a good reason to come and join us in Croatia. Especially if you enjoy both a playful and a challenging practice. As this is the ‘main course’ of this retreat. We’ll have ‘sides’ of yoga philosophy and other kinds of practices such as yin yoga, which beautifully compliments a fiery vinyasa and breathwork/pranayama.
It doesn’t matter if you are a fresh and brave beginner or a seasoned practitioner. There is room in this practice for everyone, as long as you enjoy to move, to be challenged and to try new things.
If you feel like living in a fast paced world makes slowing down and connecting with both yourself and others a bit complicated, a few days away to reconnect to the body, the self and a community can do wonders.
Having that said, your time here will be filled with laughter, your belly with good food, your eyes with stunning nature and your body with more awareness (and most likely a little muscle-soreness too). If these are the things you are looking for in a retreat, this one’s for you.
Where we sleep, eat & practice.
Karlovac County, Croatia
We’ll be staying in Ekodrom, an eco-estate in the forest about an hour drive from Zagreb and Plitvice Lakes National Park.
The estate is made up out of six different ‘cabins.’ Here you’ll find your bedrooms, a beautiful yoga deck and yoga shala, living rooms in each cabin (except the dormroom cabin), and our communal space where we will share our meals. The cabins are surrounded by beautiful plum orchards and many fruit trees. As the estate initially started as a sustainability focused farm.
The estate offers three ways to stay: the collective energy of the dorm, the charm of a shared twin room, or the elevated privacy of a private suite.
How to get there?
Simply take one of the many flights to Zagreb airport and we will pick you up from there.
Check-in: 15:00 (3 PM) on the 29th of August
Check-out: 11:00 (11 AM) on the 2nd of September
If your flights arrive earlier or later, that’s totally fine. we’ll coordinate arrival and departure times so everything runs smoothly. Once you’re registered, I’ll reach out closer to the date to collect flight details and confirm our group transport schedule

Meet Elle
Hi! I’m Elle,
Like so many other people, I came to yoga to find a certain sense of authority over my body I did not feel I had. I desperately wanted to feel more in control, more graceful and more feminine. But movement never came naturally to me.
After years of practice, yoga has helped me reframe my understanding of my body and myself in ways I never expected that it would.
What I love most (and what I believe to be one of my greatest strengths) is helping my students build their practice from the ground up, making what once seemed impossible suddenly feel within reach.
In class with me, you will explore, play and use the body as a doorway to reach into the untapped power that I know you have. Deepening both your physical practice and your connection to yourself.
See you there,
X Elle
