Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Absolutely! We welcome everyone, from total beginners to those with more experience. We offer two levels side-by-side, ensuring that beginners have a strong foundation to build on. No prior experience? No problem! That’s the barefootyoga spirit.
No need to bring a partner! A lot of people sign up solo, and our retreats are super inclusive. You’ll have plenty of chances to team up with different people throughout the week in groups of 3-4 (base, flyer, spotter). Plus, we’ve got fun games and activities to help mix things up, so you’ll be making new friends in no time!
For our AcroYoga and Handstand retreats, we don’t provide yoga mats on-site, so it’s helpful to bring one with you. That said, if you don’t have one or it doesn’t fit in your luggage, no worries—you’ll be fine without it! Our training space is equipped with puzzle mats that work perfectly for the morning sessions.
Booking, Accommodation & Occupancy:
We’ll make sure to place you in a room with others of the same gender. In Croatia, we have only a few rooms with multiple single beds available. In Slovenia, we offer rooms with different capacities, including 2, 3, 4, and 5-bed bedrooms.
Feel free to email us to inquire about a private room, and we’ll get back to you with information on availability and costs. Simply use the form below!
Our retreats are designed to participate from the beginning till the end. Each day is part of a carefully designed journey, with group activities that build on one another. That said, if you need to arrive a day late or leave early, that’s totally fine with us. Just keep in mind that we don’t offer any price reduction for the days you miss.
No, we don’t offer price reductions for any days you miss.
We’re sorry, but we’re unable to accommodate early arrivals or late departures. However, we understand that sometimes arriving earlier can be convenient due to cheaper flights or easier transfers. Don’t worry, though—you can explore the nearby region, which is full of fantastic sights, restaurants, and rich history! It’s a great way to enhance your retreat experience.
Camping:
Most of our retreats offer the option to camp, allowing you to stay right on the retreat grounds and be fully immersed in nature while participating in all the retreat activities. Camping provides extra privacy and is a more budget-friendly option (check prices and availability in the registration form). If you choose to camp, just remember to bring your own camping gear!
If you’re planning to attend one of our Croatia retreats and either the rooms are fully booked, or you’d like to camp but don’t have (or can’t bring) your own gear, we can rent you a tent and air mattress for €75 for the week. Please note, we have a limited number of tents to rent out, so be sure to contact us before booking to confirm availability. For this use the contact form below.
Yes you can come with your camper-van. Simply book the camping option and indicate that you come by van.
Sorry, but we don’t provide any electrical outlets at the camping ground. However, you can charge your devices in the dining area or one of the living rooms. If you have any food that needs to be kept cool, you’re welcome to use one of our fridges.
Food:
During this retreat, we provide you with daily breakfast, lunch, and dinner, along with a refreshing fruit break in the afternoon. Our meals are vegetarian and vegan, packed with plant-based protein, carbs, and plenty of deliciousness. We also strive to source local and seasonal ingredients whenever possible.
No worries at all! We’re happy to accommodate gluten-free diets. Just mention your dietary requirement through the booking form, and we’ll make sure you have delicious gluten-free meals throughout the retreat. Your comfort and enjoyment are important to us, so rest assured that you’ll be well taken care of!

Family & Pets:
Our retreats are designed for adults, but we’re open to welcome children with their parents to join our adventure! Please note that we do not offer any kind of childcare, so you will be fully responsible for your little one during the entire retreat. If you’d like to bring your child, you can coordinate with your co-parent to alternate between participating in the retreat and caring for your child. If your child is a bit older, they may even be able to join you in some of the classes.
For more details about bringing your child to our retreat, please read this PDF carefully. Once you’ve reviewed and agreed to our terms, you can begin the sign-up process. Just remember to have each adult register individually using the regular sign up form through the chosen retreat, and include your child’s full name and birthdate in the “something else” field.
Yes, your parents or any other caretakers are welcome to visit during the day. This way, you can focus on the workshop while someone else looks after your child. If they’d like to join us for a meal (with a small surcharge), just let us know in advance so we can inform our kitchen team.
Even though we love animals, dogs are no longer allowed at the retreat.
