Rosie is our yoga teacher (200-RYT) and Thai Massage Therapist from New Zealand. She has spent the past four years travelling and teaching on yoga retreats and wellness centres in SE Asia and Europe. She believes that yoga is more than the practice on the mat – it is about what we put in our bodies, the people we surround ourselves with, the values we hold, our intentions, and how we interact with the world. Rosie’s classes focus on the breath and awareness, and she incorporates dynamic and restorative poses to enable people to see the perfect balance that exists within all of us. Rosie is a fun-loving kiwi and always encourages people not to take themselves too seriously in their yoga practice. Rosie is a bundle of warmth that also takes the time to get to know everybody off the mat..

The MoaAlm Mountain Retreat has comfortable single, double, twin, or triple rooms. The rooms are stylishly decorated and spacious, with sizes that can go up to 24 square meters. All rooms have an en-suite private bathroom and stunning views. Some have balconies, but not all. All rooms can be made up with one double or two single beds. After an active day in the outdoors, you can enjoy the astonishing view from the sunny terrace or relax in the living room to enjoy a drink at the bar, curl up on the sofa with a magazine or book, or enjoy a meal at the shared dining table. The resort offers an in-house yoga studio, which has a panoramic mountain view and is the perfect place for an active start to the day. There, you will have the opportunity to practice energizing yoga in the mornings or a relaxing session of restorative yoga in the afternoon. In the morning the sunrise fills the room with energy and the late afternoon turns the mountains pink.

There is no set daily schedule. MoaAlm Mountain Retreat understands that every guest and every day is different. The benefit of small groups is that they can adapt, discuss, and personalize each day.

A typical day may start by enjoying a morning Vinyasa yoga session in the in-house yoga studio with a view on the sunrise over the mountains followed by eating breakfast together at the shared dining table. Snow shoeing up to the Lesach Riegel Hut and having a little picnic with a view at the Grossglockner (Austria's highest mountain) follows.

After this, you may warm up at MoaAlm with a cup of tea on the sofa in the living room, maybe read one of their books or magazines, or play a board game. Share stories and wine while you are at it, accompanied by a delicious three course dinner and discussion to plan the next day's adventures.
